Notes:
1. "Tonight You Belong To Me," "Wouldn't You Like To Know Me," and "Goodbye" were the core Paul Stanley 1978 solo songs also performed during his 1989 solo tour.
2. As a full live electric in concert performance rather than partial intro to "Black Diamond." The song was a core song on the 1995 Konvention Unplugged tour and was last performed acoustically on 08/09/95 at the MTV Unplugged filming; While "I Still Love You" is on "Alive III" it was never performed during the "Revenge" Tour concerts, and was instead recorded during sound-check...
3. The acoustic "Shandi" is performed by Paul, Rafael, and Brett.
4. .

AUDIO

Detroit Rock City
(NRL Footy Show)
Broadcast on Australia's NRL Footy Show on April 12, 2007, the first of a few live television perfomances Paul did while on his Antipodean Tour. Filmed at the Channel 9 studios in Sydney with the whole backing band. Unfortunately, the performance was a bit of a train wreck. Perhaps someone missed the memo about promoting an album?

Shandi
(Channel 9 Today Show)
Paul performed this track solo with an acoustic guitar. Paul conducted a couple of interview segements and this performance for Channel 9's "Today Show" which was broadcast on the morning of April 13. Paul's voice sounded a bit rough during this performance, but he gave it his all.

Detroit Rock City
Live To Win
(AFL Footy Show)
A much better performance than on the NRL show. Only part of the "Live To Win" was performed as a segue to the commercial break, lasting. Broadcast on Australia's AFL Footy Show on April 19, 2007 and filmed at the Channel 9 studios in Richmond, Melbourne.
