In January 1977, KISS was riding high on the success of their album "Destroyer," which had been released the previous year, in March 1976. This period marked a significant moment in their career, as they were solidifying their presence in the rock and roll scene. The live recording of "I Stole Your Love" captures a vibrant performance that exemplifies their theatrical stage presence and growing popularity. By 1977, they were already well-known for their elaborate shows, characterized by elaborate costumes and pyrotechnics. Notably, "I Stole Your Love" was featured on their subsequent album, "Rock and Roll Over," released later that year. The Houston concert represents a peak of KISS's creative output, showcasing their evolution as a band during a transformative era in rock music.
