A Glimpse into KISS’s Evolution

This concert occurred during an intriguing phase for KISS when they had decided to hang up their iconic makeup and costumes. In 1985, they were on their ‘Asylum’ tour, which followed the release of their thirteenth studio album. It was a time of change, and fans were curious to see how the band would evolve both musically and in their visual presentation.

Though they took off their elaborate costumes, the band still delivered a dazzling performance, showcasing not just their popular hits but also their musicianship and stage presence. This live album captures that unique moment in time perfectly!

Building Excitement for What’s Ahead

Before this upcoming release, the ‘Off The Soundboard’ series previously brought us a gripping performance from Poughkeepsie, New York, on November 28, 1984. Now, KISS is building on that energy with this fantastic live recording. And that’s not all! Earlier this year, the band also marked the 50th anniversary of their debut single “Strutter” with limited edition playable gold records, as well as plans for a reissue of their second studio album ‘Hotter Than Hell’ to celebrate that album’s milestone anniversary.

So, there you have it, folks! KISS is back in a big way, bringing the past to life and giving fans a chance to relive those thrilling concert moments. Keep an eye out for “HemisFair Arena, San Antonio, Texas – December 3, 1985”, and get ready to rock out once again!
