Kiss/Germany 11.1.1983

The “G.Mann” collection is surprising and delighting HR/HM collectors in 2021. The latest version, KISS from the Vinnie Vincent era, is now available. “G.Mann” has produced a series of shocking works centered on MONSTERS OF ROCK, but Donnington was just an expedition and his main battlefield was Germany. What is recorded in this work is such a hometown recording “November 1, 1983 Offenbach performance”. This is a powerful audience recording. Speaking of KISS from the Vinnie era, “ROCKFORD 1982: NEW YEARS EVE” and “LOS ANGELES 1983” are also standard at our store, but those are records of “CREATURES OF THE NIGHT Tour”. On the other hand, this work is a live album from the “LICK IT UP Tour”, which was the debut of KISS without make-up. First, let’s look back at the overall picture of the tour. 1983《“LICK IT UP” released on September 23rd》・October 11th-November 25th: Europe (35 performances)←★Here★・December 26th-31st: North America #1 (5 performances) 1984, January 1st – March 17th: North America #2 (58 performances) 《March: Vinnie Vincent leaves → April: Mark St. John joins》 《May-July “ANIMALIZE” production》 This is a panoramic view of “LICK IT UP Tour”. The Offenbach performance of this work is the beginning of the two-stage tour of Europe and North America. This was the 17th concert of the “Europe” leg. This work recorded at such a show is a powerful and wild vintage audience. Although it is not the type that can be mistaken for a sound board, the extremely thick and tough core is so close to your face that you have no sense of distance. To be honest, there are some scenes that are so powerful that it almost breaks, but that’s why Vinnie’s crazy guitar work is right in front of your eyes. On the one hand, you can’t expect the beauty of the sound, but on the other hand, it’s a power sound that will make your whole body hit by the blazing rock music of four people. What is depicted with such a strong sound is a full show of “LICK IT UP Tour” that proclaims the new star KISS. Let’s organize the set here. 70’s (6 songs)・KISS: Cold Gin/Firehouse/Black Diamond ・DRESSED TO KILL: Rock And Roll All Nite・DESTROYER: Detroit Rock City・LOVE GUN: Love Gun 80’s (9 songs)・CREATURES OF THE NIGHT: Creatures of the Night/War Machine/I Love It Loud/I Still Love You・LICK IT UP: Fits Like a Glove/Exciter/Gimme More/Young and Wasted/Lick It Up…and so on. Although the basics follow the “CREATURES OF THE NIGHT Tour”, the large amount of “LICK IT UP” thrown in there is extremely delicious. “Exciter” and “Gimme More” are the two major numbers limited to this tour, and “Young And Wasted” sung by the late Eric Carr is also in the 80s. Above all, the balance itself is fresh. The glorious 70’s classics are narrowed down to only the special songs, and the majority of the show is dominated by two songs, “CREATURES OF THE NIGHT” and “LICK IT UP.” Of course, the performance was filled with the spirit of showing off the new KISS to the world, and Vinnie’s flashy guitar was also a riot. It is a live album that exudes the excitement of a “second debut” precisely because the makeup has been removed. In 1983, KISS was reborn as a true rock band. This unyielding determination is transformed into music and is a powerfully explosive live album. A new excavation where you can experience their full show at the biggest turning point in history. A new unearthed live album from the “LICK IT UP Tour” with no make-up. This is a powerful audience recording of the “November 1, 1983 Offenbach Performance”. This is a powerful and wild vintage recording, with the extremely thick and tough core coming right in front of you, with no sense of distance. There are some scenes that are so powerful that they tend to crack, but that’s why Vinnie’s crazy guitar work is right in front of your eyes. The large amount of “LICK IT UP” is delicious, and you can also enjoy “Exciter”, “Gimme More”, and “Young And Wasted” sung by the late Eric Carr, which are limited to this tour.
