KISS

In November 1987, KISS was riding the wave of their album 'Crazy Nights,' which had been released just a few months prior, in September of the same year. This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing a more radio-friendly sound with catchy hooks, and it included the iconic anthem 'Crazy Crazy Nights.' The live performance in Philadelphia captured the band at a time when they were embracing the glam rock vibe and aiming for a broader audience, especially appealing to a younger crowd. Fun fact: during this era, KISS was transitioning into the pop-metal realm, and this show highlighted their signature theatricality and energy. It's a great snapshot of KISS during a period of reinvention, showing both their dedication to spectacle and their knack for catchy melodies.
