Kiss Instant Live is a series of 2 CD live albums, each containing a recording of the complete set from a show on the Rock the Nation Tour from 2004. The discs were recorded and distributed through Live Nation. Some shows (where the venues were not owned/promoted by Clear Channel Entertainment) were not recorded. In addition, some technical issues prevented the recording of some other dates. The set lists differ slightly between shows. All of the Kiss Instant Live albums from this tour are out of print.
Eric Singer returned to the band replacing Peter Criss.
While the track list does differ by show and the 2 CD's may be split in different spots, most of the albums feature the following songs:
CD 1
CD 2
Instant Live is a service by Live Nation which provides for the distribution of digital live recordings of concerts and music events, available soon after a performance has ended. Music is recorded and mixed at the event, by personnel inside the company's portable recording vans.
The program was rolled out in clubs in Boston, Massachusetts in 2003, and has since expanded internationally. Live Nation once held a patent on a process for placing markers between songs during a live performance, giving them an effective monopoly on post-concert digital recording. The patent was subsequently rejected by the US Patent and Trademark Office after the Electronic Frontier Foundation submitted evidence of prior art to the USPTO.
To date Instant Live has done live recordings of almost 200 artists, including the Allman Brothers Band, Phil Lesh and Friends, Black Crowes, Yo-Yo Ma, and Peter Frampton.
Instant Live is no longer provided by Live Nation.
