KISS

In late 1983, KISS was riding high on the waves of their enduring legacy with the release of their eleventh studio album, 'Lick It Up,' which had hit the shelves just a few months earlier in September. This marked a significant turning point for the band as they embraced a new, unmasked identity, shedding their iconic face paint and welcoming a fresh sound that resonated well with fans. The live recording from the Detroit Rock City performance showcases the energy and excitement of the 'Animalize' tour, where KISS was keen on proving they were still a formidable force in rock. Interestingly, this era not only marked a rebirth for KISS but also highlighted guitarist Mark St. John’s brief but impactful tenure with the band. It's a testament to their adaptability and persistent passion for performance, firmly reminding fans why they were, and continue to be, legendary.
