KISS

In December 1985, KISS was deep into their Asylum Tour, promoting their album "Asylum," which had been released earlier that year. This album was a significant chapter in KISS's story, as it marked their continued attempt to stay relevant in the changing landscape of rock music during the '80s. The live recording from Reunion Arena in Dallas captures the band during a time when they were embracing glam and hard rock, showcasing tracks like 'Detroit Rock City' and 'Uh! All Night.' Interestingly, this concert falls into a period when KISS was refining their trademark theatrical performances—complete with face paint and elaborate stage setups. They were keen to keep their fans engaged, and this concert reflects their effort to bridge the traditional KISS sound with a more modern edge. It’s always fascinating to consider how artists evolve, isn't it?
