KISS

In October 1987, KISS was riding the wave of their album "Crazy Nights," which had just been released a month prior. This period marked a significant chapter for the band, showcasing a shift towards a more glam metal sound, filled with anthemic choruses and radio-friendly tracks. "Crazy Crazy Nights" became a standout hit, emphasizing themes of freedom and resilience. The performance on Top of the Pops is particularly noteworthy, as it highlights KISS's transition during the late '80s—moving from their earlier hard rock roots into a more polished, commercial style. The vibrant energy of the live show, along with the band's iconic face paint and stage presence, captures the essence of their appeal, blending theatrics with powerful rock music. Plus, the restored video quality allows fans a chance to relive that electrifying performance exactly as it originally aired.
