I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!

5 out of 5 stars Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03

This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?

4 out of 5 stars Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11

Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.

Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).

Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".

It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.

But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.

4 out of 5 stars Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22

It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!

4 out of 5 stars Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31

Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.

However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.

However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.

Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

With Alive! Kiss created one of the most exciting and essential live albums of all time. Its 1977 sequel, Alive II, failed to measure up for a variety of reasons--including, perversely, the inclusion of an album side of studio material--and it took the band 15 years to return to the well once again. Alive III holds up surprisingly well, though that may be due to reduced expectations for a band that was nearing the end of its "unmasked" period, performing without makeup and without original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. Still, Kiss have always excelled onstage, whether through genuine inspiration or mere professionalism. Alive III rocks the house with a generous 16-song selection of material that cuts the chaff from their weaker mid-period studio albums and doesn't neglect fan favorites such as "Rock and Roll All Nite," "Deuce," "Heaven's on Fire," and "Detroit Rock City." --Daniel Durchholz

3 out of 5 stars Good, But SO many Songs are MISSING!!!!!.......2007-06-05

What's on this record sounds great. The music is played well. But what a major dissappointment when I saw this was 16 songs!!!?? Where is "Tears are Falling"? "Crazy Nights" "War Machine" "Fits Like a Glove".....the list could go on of songs that SHOULD have been on here. Songs that were staples in their shows for years that fans wanted on this record! By not including them, they created a big hole in their catalog of great songs not included on the offical live records. Why do they think bootlegging got so big at this time? Because fans saw they could get a better boot of a show than what Kiss would release!! Eric Singer even stated in the Kiss Authorized biography that he listened to some boots that were better than Alive 3. I own a show from the NJ Meadowlands that murders Alive 3. On the Revenge tour Kiss were playing an awesome setlist...usually about 23-25 songs. Alive 3 is like a sampler...what a shame.

5 out of 5 stars alive 3.......2006-03-28

I'm not one of these old fogies who was a teenager back in the 70's. I didn't see KISS live until I was in 6th grade and they came to town on the Animalize tour. I have all of their albums. This is the lineup I like best. Bruce and Eric play circles around Ace & Peter and it shows up in this performance. The production on Alive 1&2 sucked. This shows a tighter sounding and more talented KISS than that of the 70's. Nice selection of songs as well. Go ahead and keep the first 2 ALives.

5 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING SOUND QUALITY !.......2005-12-21

Kiss Alive III is by far the best for sound quaity and song seletion !

A great selection of songs and a rocking show !

Buy the cd and the DVD !

5 out of 5 stars The End of An Era.......2005-11-25

Kiss was one of the most popular and controversial bands of the 1970s. With their trademark makeup, highly visual live shows, black outfits and music that was at once very menacing, sexy, tender, charismatic and controvetersial, Kiss was arguably the definitive heavy metal band of all time, peaking sales figures with Alive and following it up with three more excellent but polished studio albums then Alive II where things started to go wrong. Sequels are a cash in, almost never ever better than the original and so bad it's good. But for me with Alive II their human side started to show. They entered the realm of self parody, followed by solo albums by the 4 definitive original members. Gene Simmons, especially, lost a lot of his charisma starting with his solo album. The band rebounded with Dyansty, again going platinum and featuring the hit disco song I was Made for Loving You which stills holds up today. Dyanasty was the last Kiss album of the 70s featuring all four original members on a studio album. Though often criticized as being glitzy, if you consider Kiss glam rock that might be their definitive album, parody or not. Ace Frehley and Peter Criss left soon after, with Kiss taking off their trademark makeup after some weak early 80s albums that compared poorly to their peak in the 70s, trying to become legitimate musicians at the expense of a large portion of their original audience. Creatures of the Night holds up decently to their best work of the 70s because on that one 80s album they didn't want to be legitimate musicians. Gene Simmons was back on top. But the music itself still held an appeal for some in the 80s, they had hit songs on each individual album, even Shandi from Unmasked, most of which are captured on this live album. But overall, their 80s stuff compared poorly to the 70s stuff. Kiss came back with Revenge in the early 90s which, like Creatures of the Night, Kiss found their trump card once more as they tried to regain the menace and charisma they had in the 70s. This live album is from the Revenge tour, featuring Kiss with no makeup, 2 members that were not in the original lineup and even though Kiss may be has beens, the album works anyway as they retain an almost sexist humor with their songs. That's often that got neglected with Kiss- their music itself was incredible. With the PMRC scare in the 80s, Kiss influenced countless bands like W.A.S.P. and Marilyn Manson and were still icons because of their influence. Alive III sees Kiss, with their music itself in excellent form after 3 decades in the business and it stills hold up today to less charismatic, mostly humorless more recent big acts because of the charisma they still have, namely the money, the women and once again the music. It stills sounds fresh and competitive. I like KIss because of their music, and maybe that is why they recieved criticism. I am not a Gene Simmons wannabe, but I respect him as a talented and charismatic, rich man that had some incredibly definitive heavy metal songs. Even though they may have entered the realm of self parody when they were still in their 70s prime, they influnenced so many bands that came after them which all themselves became self parodies, that you can't help apptreciating this album as it is- entertainment. It provides an excellent overall sample of Kiss after they settled on a comfortable compromise between their makeup and black outfits of the 70s with their more silly 80s stuff and those weak albums from the 80s still have prime cuts, most of which are featured here, except for Shandi. And this is what Kiss was all about - their live shows.

5 out of 5 stars Better than expected!.......2005-11-03

Alive 2 wasnt up to the level of the original Alive!16years after Alive 3 come to stores whats worth the bait?EVERITHING this album is outstanding Alive 3 is basicly a live remake of the 80s kiss albums with a couple of kiss classics.They also included 4 songs from their last studio album`revenge`wich is great.Its not the great Alive but its good its does sound live.it includes songs from almost every 80s album exept a couple like unmasked,the elder and others.It doesnt excludes classics like detroit rock city,deuce,watching you and others but it focuses mainly on the 80s.Eric Singer does a great job at the drums so does Bruce Kulick at the guitar part his `star spangled banner`performance is very impresssive.There is 16 songs live from 1993 ,the booklet included has cool pictures inside.If you just listen to it then its not as good as on the`confidential and exposed`dvd wich includes most of the Alive3 concert,it looks amazing and they are performing at their best.Its a good value this album is outstanding!i love it.Maybe its not from the original lineup but its good anyway.a great effort on this live album.there is a missing song`take it off`that they did not include here.very recomended!

4 out of 5 stars Fresh arrangements of the Psalms.......2005-05-12

I don't have this recording any more, but wish I did!

I remember listening to a cassette of Psalms Alive! I in the 80's; The back cover showed a choir of a dozen or so singers crowded into a tiny recording studio.

The arrangements struck a balance between entertaining and devotional -- the singers were clearly really into worship, and the harmonization and instrumentation on the best tracks were worth coming back to again and again.

My favorites were the languid flowing "There Is a River", and the likewise peaceful "How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place" and "Stilled And Quieted My Soul."

On the up-tempo end, "Praise The Lord From The Heavens" was a stand-out.

Here's an unofficial track listing:
