Live Hits Compilation On Double LP!
Greatest Hits Live is a live album by Ace Frehley, originally released on CD in 2006. The album contains ten live tracks and two studio recordings. Some tracks were recorded live at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois, in September 1987, while others were recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, England, in March 1988. The two studio recordings were outtakes from Frehley's previous greatest hits compilation, Loaded Deck.
In 2006, longtime Frehley fans finally got their wish, as his former label, Megaforce, assembled Greatest Hits Live. Consisting of ten live tracks and two previously unreleased studio tracks, quite a few Kiss-era tracks are featured, including fine readings of 'Rip It Out,' 'Cold Gin,' 'Rocket Ride,' 'Deuce,' and 'New York Groove,' as well as a taster of his '80s solo work, including the autobiographical anthem 'Rock Soldiers.' And closing out the album are the two studio tracks, 'One Plus One' and 'Give It to Me Anyway' - comparable to the melodic metal sound/approach of Frehley's 1987 solo release, Frehley's Comet.
