    I remember watching this live back in the day. This is a very rare live performance on network tv that demonstrates how great Ace was and so important to the band. Yes, he’s not a great technical player but he played with style, feeling and a certain bravado. Love how he shakes his head here as he belts out the notes. Ah the good ole days ! Thanks for posting !

      Yes Eric was a great drummer. Love his double kick and toms he did on the Oath. I like the Elder but could have been their return to hard rock if they did more songs like this, I, The Island and Mr. Blackwell. Could have been great like Creatures was. Love this performance!

      This album was a challenge for Eric Carr because he forced kiss to play heavier because he was a badass drummer and they knew it. And they wanted to do this album a little bit softer but it's still rock with that Carr. Let's celebrate Eric Carr

Oh, the stories l could tell. I'm just some fool from upstate NY, who because he could sing, and sing pretty well, got to do some cool shit with very famous and extremely talented people.

      It really is such a tragedy that Eric Carr didn't have a lot of great material to work with when he was in Kiss. He seemed like a great drummer that could have elevated good songs into great songs. But when he was in Kiss it seemed like his drumming was elevating mediocre songs into good songs.
      I mean, Forever is a great ballad that he elevated to something truly special with his drumming. Creatures Of The Night is mainly as great as it is because of Eric having more creative control over what he played. The guy could have been the next John Bonham, but instead he was more like John Rutsey (great drummer who never showcased his full potential because of what he had to work with. Geddy and Alex weren't the same guys who wrote 2112 when he was with them).

      The solo albums weren't successful, followed by Dynasty, which was commercially successful but hated (probably undeservedly) by many fans, followed by the universally reviled Unmasked... so yeah, by the time they made The Elder there was zero patience left for an experimental fairy tale album.

      They played it on the kiss kruise and it sounded fine and anyone who goes to a Kiss concert at least 90% of the people know the song and it would have been super cool to have something new added to the set it would have been exciting

    It’s cool to see them play this. I always liked this album. They tried really hard to venture into something different. I know many fans disagree with me but I thought it interesting.

    I remember watching this when it aired….couldn’t wait. I was 11 years old, and my favorite band was gonna be on live television…performing. I still like the album to this day.

    Ten minutes ago I was watching video with Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt talking about various albums he bought recently. I was not suprised he spoke highly positive about Music from the Elder, especially The Oath and Under the Rose. This is truly great album, no matter what traditional hard rock/heavy metal fans have to say about it. It would be even better if Paul was not singing falseto on Oath and Just a boy chorus and if they keep original Ace's solos - that's why the live version of Oath is so much better IMO.

      young Kiss fans in Scandinavia had a different concept of the band since they were isolated from what American fans said or thought back then. The Elder was also undoubtedly a big influence on a certain Thomas Forsberg as well..

      “(Music from) The Elder” is a really fine album.
      Just not a good KISS album.
