KISS Live at The Ritz, New York City - Living After Midnight Performance

Venue: The Ritz Location: New York, New York, United States Date: May 9, 1992

In their vibrant career, KISS took a bold leap with their live performance at The Ritz in New York on May 9, 1992, amidst their revival phase dubbed the 'Revenge' era. Right before this show, they had released the 'Hot in the Shade' album in 1989, which saw their sound adapting to the changing rock landscape of the late '80s. The 'Revenge' album would follow just a couple of years later, marking a return to their harder rock roots. This live recording captures a raw and electrifying moment, showcasing their relentless energy and stage presence. Interestingly, this era also featured the absence of original lead guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss, which fueled debates among hardcore fans about the band's authenticity. But regardless, KISS proved their mettle, continuing to wow audiences and maintain their legendary rock status.
