A complete audience video of this set exists on Youtube, but is marred by lots of crowd movement and noise.

 

There seem to be muitiple versions perporting to be Kiss's set circulating, but nearly all have differing set lists, this may be due to confusion between venues, as there were also European Monsters Of Rock shows held in 1988 which featured Kiss ,as well as a 1996 Monsters of Roick setlist mislabeled as 1988.

The FM set is probably from the BBC broadcast.
