KISS - Is That You? Live Performance from the Unmasked Tour in Sydney

Venue: Sydney Showground Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Date: November 22, 1980

During the Unmasked Tour in 1980, KISS was in a unique phase of their career. The live performance of 'Is That You?' in Sydney came shortly after the release of their album 'Unmasked,' which had debuted earlier that year. While 'Unmasked' divided fans and critics alike—some excited by its more pop-oriented sound and others yearning for the heavier rock vibe—the tour showcased the band's willingness to evolve. An interesting tidbit? This concert was notable as it was one of the first tours to feature Eric Carr, the band’s new drummer, following the departure of Peter Criss. Fans were eager to see how Carr would bring his energy to KISS' larger-than-life stage presence, making this performance in Australia a key moment in the band's transition during the late '70s and early '80s.
