I dont know if Eric did it live, but he did record it on the Smashes, Thrashes, and Hits album

yeah, I knew that.

I don't think he ever did it live. and I do not think Vinnie,Mark, or Bruce ever did Shock Me


which proves a point...KISS only performers those songs when the ORIGINAL makeup is being worn, with no thought of who is behind it.

I don't think so either. It bothers me to see Paul & Gene replacing the characters with other people. Why must Thommy duplicate Ace's moves? We know he isn't Ace.

It makes me wonder what would have happened had Eric Carr still been alive.

I honestly think that if Eric Carr was still with us the reunion tour might of never happened. Or it may have but once Peter quit Eric would of been back in, and he sure as Hell would not of been in Peter's makeup! I think had that happened we would of seen a new makeup design for Tommy, because anything else just would not make sense.

THIS is how Beth was meant to be done, watch this and you will realize just how special this song is to Peter....this is the most beautiful version of the song ever done. Peter and the Melbourne Symphony Ensemble. This version actually brings a tear to my eye, that's the power and emotion that ONLY Peter Criss can give to this song! This is the only time the song was ever performed with a live symphony. By the way if you haven't listened to ALIVE IV and seen the Alive IV DVD your missin out...it's an amazing concert.

Hi Thomas, I think you misunderstood the question. But thanks for posting!

Yes, they did Beth during the Symphony show. But that was with Peter.

The question was did the band ever perform Beth live with Eric Carr and did they ever do Shock Me live with Vinnie,Mark or Bruce....none of whom were in the band during the Melbourne show.
