KISS are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their seminal 1975 double-live album Alive! with a spectacular new box set, packed with rarities and remixes. The collection is now available for pre-order and ships November 21, 2025, in both 4-CD + Blu-ray and 8-LP + Blu-ray formats.
The set features 120 tracks—including a staggering 88 previously unreleased live performances. Key recordings include two full concerts from the July 1975 tour: July 20 (Second Show) at the RKO Orpheum Theatre in Davenport, Iowa, and July 23 at the Wildwood Convention Hall in Wildwood, New Jersey. Also included are rehearsal tracks and a June 21 show from Cleveland.
Legendary producer-engineer Eddie Kramer handled all the mixing from original multi-track analog tapes, with some material presented with absolutely no overdubs. The original album is remastered by Bernie Grundman from the 1975 stereo master tapes.
Paul Stanley reflected on the anniversary: “We found all the bloody tapes—thank God!” He added to vintage rocker forums that these sessions pushed the band into the “stratosphere of live rock.”
The box set also boasts an extensive 100-page hardcover book, rare photos, memorabilia rescued from the original tour, and Blu-ray audio with Dolby Atmos, TrueHD 5.1, and high-resolution stereo.
For fans who witnessed the original diesel-fueled live explosion in the mid-’70s, the set promises a visceral trip back in time. For newer generations, it offers a chance to rediscover how one band turned loud, raw chaos into an arena-filling phenomenon.
