KISS - Great Expectations - Symphony Alive Ⅳ (HD)

[@EmmanuelBenighHemmander]

I can't believe they played this song live, it's beautiful! Especially with the symphony and the choir in it.

[@RubUOutC]

Yes the song about licking out and fingering some chick is a real tear-jerker

[@viniciuszanetti410]

Who listening in 2024?

[@No1emilybrowningfan]

One of the best performances ever. Proof that KISS are one of the greatest bands of all time

[@lukebrennan8405]

so true!

[@warrenbutner7890]

Look at the total awe on the children's faces!!!An experience they'll never forget

[@IowaForLife]

its gotta be a great memory for the kids.

[@CuttSantoz]

this song is beatiful, the album destroyer is one of the best of KISS

[@rockhard2654]

beethoven wrote it

[@frankharrell406]

I love this song. Its one of those songs you think, no way in hell this will work, and yet, it totally does. Unique, even for Kiss, and I think maybe that's what makes it extra special somehow.

[@No1emilybrowningfan]

This is actually in my top 5 favourite Kiss songs. I love it and I love this version. The whole concert (which I have on dvd and cd) is fantastic. Kiss rock

[@Mickelraven]

This song is fantastic! 10/10

Much better than the album version

[@viperman1048]

I’m about 5 years late, but no offense Sean I gotta disagree but this is a damn good version.

[@Sean-me4fv]

Viperman 10 I don’t like the production on most of the album really.

Let's not get crazy now

[@rickr2029]

It's the same version. Just live and he calls out Paul and Pete

[@rickr2029]

@@Sean-me4fv That's fine but 6 of the 9 songs are played regularly at the shows. Not a bad ratio!

[@alexfairhurst1955]

I can't help but keep noticing that Gene's bass keeps changing from his Axe to his punisher throughout the song 🤣🤣

[@rustymayeur6019]

Tommy’s guitar is changing too😂 guess they needed some extra footage so they spliced in other songs

[@joe666b]

@@rustymayeur6019 other songs did not have the Choir?

[@She_e_han]

Probably used some footage from sound checks and final rehearsals. That’s my best guess🤷🏽‍♂️

Rock meets classic. Great !!!!!!

[@qualquer3577]

Kiss is incredible to do this show which is one of the best that another band has never done so well

[@cjkoab]

peters solo album and the elder are fantastic though, are you implying they''re not? and this song is incredible.

NO FUCKING WAY!!! LOL HELLA COOL, PAUL! I can't believe they did that! I remember when I thot Gene was adorable. He did cute things like that great grin - but apparently only when he was paid enuf. LOL THIS WAS THE BEST EVAR!!!

[@chikashi_nara]

Great Live!

[@valeriegray8068]

I definitely had great expectations. But I'm still wishing;)

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

Gene wrote a beautiful song with Bob Ezrin. And he sings beautifully. And it's Rock. It's KISS 💋

[@corporalhicks4532]

I know this is how Gene Originally wanted the song to be ,but I still prefer the studio version. It sound much better,with the lyrics in 1 person

[@jestersbikerpatches9784]

Kinda curious why Gene is using 2 different basses. Was this song recorded twice or different nights? Research shows that this was only recorded on one night in Feb.

[@68corvette08]

0:41 She is really beautiful. I bet she's told her kids stories of that night.

[@TristanandIsolt]

To me, without a doubt in my mind, this is the finest performance ever of the best song KISS ever did.

[@bobbieleefinders9464]

SUPER KOOL!!!!!!!!

[@edguitar007]

They do dare to do lots of things, I mean I ve never thought this song could make it to such event. Sounds so Beatles-ish!

[@mikelereaux6457]

Kiss can't come close to the beatles

[@TigerRogersOfficial]

Never quite felt like Kiss to me, but it's a great ballad either way, especially with the children's choir, and the symphonic backing only makes it better

[@luismiguelortiz1921]

🌞🎼❤️🔥📈

[@erichartman5348]

I've seen these guys 17 times. Original line up thru the 80's and beyond. Saw them at Tower Theater in Phlly. Great small venue great to see them up close. Eric Carr was especially fantastic. Also saw GNR there when the only song anyone knee was Welcome to Jungle. Best shows.

[@Frahamen]

Somehow, this song has nothing to do with Charles Dickens. Still, great music :)

[@TristanandIsolt]

Best comment on the board.

[@keyblok]

@kiss9138 it's because its 2 shows. At the beggining, in the Let Me Go "Ending Dance", you can see Paul in the middle, and after that, he is in the left.

[@rockerokiss]

Wow wow Look the bass!! xD in the minute 2:39 he changed his bass wtf? xDDD Paranormal xD

[@scarefaceR18]

its like that thought most songs on that DVD

[@dylansmith7370]

scarefaceR18 Which other songs? THis is thefirst one I noticed on...

[@scarefaceR18]

Psycho circus. Even deuce. You have to be quick but they show a few close ups and when they zoom out they aren't where there were. Watch the guitars paul uses a few times in the song it changes

[@dylansmith7370]

So, did they do multiple takes? How did this happen?

[@scarefaceR18]

Dylan Smith i think it could be from parts of the pre warms up in full costumes

And yet, Peter Criss was frickin amazing and by far the best!!!!

[@jwag2708]

I wish they have done "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Gene's solo album instead, since it's a children's choir. This song is kinda raunchy. I liked that they involved another community group, though.

[@RokDAWG1]

@msiseng YES they are...but I know an American or two are simply breath taking as well...
