Most of the songs on Alive! were culled from a performance at Detroit's Cobo Hall during the Dressed To Kill tour, with a few others coming from a Cleveland show during the same tour. The distinctive cover art, however, was not taken at a show; KISS' stage was partially constructed at a smaller facility in Detroit. Judicious use of smoke and lighting techniques bely the fact that, except for the lighted KISS logo sign, there is virtually nothing behind them.
Alive! was KISS' fourth album and is considered their breakthrough, as well as a landmark for live albums. Released on September 10, 1975, the double-disc set contained live versions of selected singles from their first three studio albums, KISS, Hotter Than Hell, and Dressed to Kill. It peaked at #9 on the album charts and has, to date, sold over 4 million units although the RIAA only has it listed at Gold. In 2003, the album was ranked number 159 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
