In January 1996, KISS was experiencing a significant resurgence in their career, particularly with the excitement surrounding their reunion tour featuring the original lineup. Before this live performance of "I Wanna Rock 'N' Roll All Nite" under the Brooklyn Bridge, the band released their album "Revenge" in 1992, which marked a notable return to a heavier sound, following their departure from the glam rock elements of the 1980s. In 1996, the band was also promoting the album "KISS: The Box Set," which was released later that year and showcased both new material and classic tracks, reflecting their legacy. The outdoor concert in New York City, set against the iconic backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge, exemplified their enduring appeal and further solidified their status as rock legends, marking a vibrant era in the band's lengthy and storied career.
