Their latest album, Rock ║ │ │║ and Roll Over, had shipped gold. Their singles ║ │ │║ we're charting, and they we're selling out large ║ │ │║ venues internationally. They we're, by all ║ │ │║ accounts, larger than life! Being the absolute ║ │ │║ merchandising mogul he was, manager Bill Aucoin ║ │ │║ had the brilliant idea to have producer Eddie ║ │ │║ Kramer record the evening show at Budokan Hall ║ │ │║ in Japan, on the Rock and Roll Over tour early ║ │ │║ that year. But unfortunately, Kiss and then ║ │ │║ record label, Casablanca, deemed most of the ║ │ │║ material unusable. So Kiss then decided to ║ │ │║ continue with the Love Gun sessions. Soon after ║ │ │║ the release of Love Gun in mid '77, they again ║ │ │║ attempted to create a follow up live album to ║ │ │║ the massively popular Alive. The source material ║ │ │║ for the album was recorded at the L.A. Forum ║ │ │║ during the subsequent tour, and also a few ║ │ │║ tracks was taken from the aborted Japanese live ║ │ │║ album. Not wanting to reuse and rehash any songs ║ │ │║ from the Alive era, Kiss decided to select songs ║ │ │║ strictly from the past three albums; Destroyer, ║ │ │║ Rock and Roll Over, and Love Gun. They also ║ │ │║ recorded a side of brand new studio material, ║ │ │║ with Ace Frehley only participating on his own ║ │ │║ song Rocket Ride. In preserving the same ║ │ │║ tradition set by their previous live album, this ║ │ │║ one, almost to a laughable extent, was ║ │ │║ overdubbed and rerecorded. Although to their ║ │ │║ credit, how could they possibly recreate the ║ │ │║ songs perfectly, while at any cost entertaining ║ │ │║ the audience, and paying such close attention to ║ │ │║ the meticulous production details? That being ║ │ │║ said, of course the album sounds incredible! ║ │ │║ Especially in comparison to the relentlessly ║ │ │║ flat sound of most of their studio albums up to ║ │ │║ that point, particularly Dressed to Kill. So I ║ │ │║ rate the sound of this album as a nine, only ║ │ │║ because it's not really live. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ - cd1 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - Detroit Rock City [03:57] │ │ 02 - King of the Night Time World [03:05] │ │ 03 - Ladies Room [03:15] │ │ 04 - Makin' Love [03:13] │ │ 05 - Love Gun [03:41] │ │ 06 - Calling Dr. Love [03:36] │ │ 07 - Christine Sixteen [02:46] │ │ 08 - Shock Me [05:51] │ │ 09 - Hard Luck Woman [03:07] │ │ 10 - Tomorrow and Tonight [03:26] │ │ - [ ] │ │ - cd2 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - I Stole Your Love [03:36] │ │ 02 - Beth [02:24] │ │ 03 - God of Thunder [05:17] │ │ 04 - I Want You [04:15] │ │ 05 - Shout it Out Loud [03:39] │ │ 06 - All American Man [03:17] │ │ 07 - Rockin' in the USA [02:38] │ │ 08 - Larger than Life [04:02] │ │ 09 - Rocket Ride [04:08] │ │ 10 - Any Way You Want it [02:34] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [71:47 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
