"You Wanted the Best, You Got the Best!!" is a Live hits album released by the American hard rock band Kiss. The album was issued to coincide with the group's 1996–97 Alive/Worldwide Tour. All of the songs on the album are live versions. Most were taken from "Alive!" or "Alive II" but, of most interest to the fans, were four live songs recorded but not used for those albums. The mix/ production of these tracks matches the aforementioned live albums and are presumed to be out-takes, in some cases with overdubs of new lead vocal tracks recorded by Simmons and Stanley.

Additionally, the Japanese CD/ US vinyl release had another live track ("New York Groove"). This, however, featured Eric Carr and not Peter Criss on drums.

The final track is a group interview conducted by Jay Leno.

The album was certified gold on May 12, 1997, having sold 500,000 copies.
