Alive II is the second live album by American hard rock band Kiss, released on October 14, 1977, by Casablanca Records.[2] The band had released three albums (Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, and Love Gun) since the previous live outing, the 1975 release Alive!, so they drew upon the variety of new tracks, with Eddie Kramer producing. The album is one of the best selling in the Kiss discography, being the band's first to be certified double platinum in February 1996 (signifying sales of over 1,000,000 for a double album), the same month the Kiss reunion tour was announced.[3][4] It has continued to sell in the US in the Soundscan era, selling over 300,000 copies from 1991 and to March 2012.[5]
