KISS Live Performance of Detroit Rock City at Cobo Arena

Venue: Cobo Arena Location: Detroit, Michigan, United States Date: December 8, 1984

In the live recording from December 8, 1984, at Cobo Arena, KISS was riding high on the wave of their 'Animalize' album, which had just been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant phase in KISS's evolution, showcasing their hard rock sound while embracing a more glam metal aesthetic. Interestingly, this concert took place during their 'Lick It Up' tour, which signaled a rebirth for the band after the departure of their iconic makeup. The performance captured that raw energy and intense fan reception that KISS is legendary for. They were not just a band; they were a spectacle—a blend of music, theatrics, and charisma that drew fans from all over. This era solidified KISS's resilience in the rock scene, proving they could still captivate audiences with powerful performances.
