KISS

In November 1983, KISS was revving up for an exciting chapter, reflected in their live recording from the 'Animalize Tour.' Just before this performance, they had released 'Lick It Up,' an album that marked a significant transition, as it was their first to show the band sans makeup. This shift wasn't just cosmetic; it represented KISS's push towards a more mature sound and image, drawing in both new fans and longtime followers. The Animalize Tour showcased hits like 'Detroit Rock City' and 'Cold Gin,' highlighting the band’s blending of hard rock and theatrical performance. Fun fact: this period for KISS was all about reinvention, with guitarist Mark St. John joining the lineup, setting the stage for a vibrant onstage energy that fans still rave about. The 'Animalize Tour' helped solidify their enduring legacy in rock history.
