Later Kissology Volume 1 was released in 2006 and it featured the whole concert.

Konversation with John Harte - Ep196: It's officially KISSMAS in July! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season of the Hottest Band in the Land! We thought we'd kick things off in a big way! Konversation with John Harte Former KISS security director "Big" John Harte joins Aaron and Chris this week to discuss his career working for the Hottest Band in the World. In this hour-plus conversation, John reflects on a wild time as KISS rose to prominence during his initial years working for the band. During these years (1975-1976), John saw the ascension of this New York band to the highest of highs. He also was there to see them drop to their lowest of lows by the early 1980's. Subjects covered in this in-depth chat include the Paul Lynde Halloween Special from 1976, a death threat on one of the band members, the recording of the 1978 solo albums, the strange period that produced the sharp left turns stylistically with Dynasty, Unmasked, and Music from the Elder as well as the Crea by Decibel Geek Podcast

Episode 129 "You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!": This week Tom & Zeus review the 1996 Live Compilation, KISS Album, "You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!" The album title comes from the famous line shouted prior to KISS concerts. The album is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary. The album was meant to coincide with the KISS reunion and their soon to be legendary Alive/Worldwide Tour. The album consists of 13 tracks made up of several KISS Klassic Live cuts from KISS Alive & KISS Alive II and 4 "supposedly" new live deep cuts, Room Service, Two Timer, Let Me Know and Take Me. However, the 1996 overdubs maybe more than just slight overdubs. The final track, which is odd, is a interview with former Tonight Show host, Jay Leno. The guys breakdown the tracks, the selections and the "interview" and then rank the new tracks. The guys then rank the album and cover versus the previous 2 Live Albums reviewed by SIOL.
