Description
The “KISS FAREWELL Tour” was the last activity of the original four members. The 25th anniversary version of the iconic footage has been decided to be released. This work was filmed at the “June 27, 2000 East Rutherford performance”. It is a multi-camera pro shot. The “KISS FAREWELL Tour” started with the golden original four members, but collapsed along the way. Although the tour was completed after a member change, it was instead (?) retirement withdrawal. First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the position of the show. January 3, 2000: Anchorage performance “KISS FAREWELL Tour” March 11-May 26: North America #1 (53 performances) June 6-August 2: North America #2 (35 performances) ←★Here★ August 11-October 7: North America #3 (39 performances) 2001 {January: Peter leaves → Eric returns} March 9-22: Japan (7 performances) March 29-April 13: Australia (8 performances) This is KISS in 2000/2001. In 2000, they carpet bombed North America over three legs, but with Peter’s departure, it was interrupted. In 2001, when Eric Singer joined and started over, they only performed in Japan and Australia. Meanwhile, the East Rutherford performance of this work was in the middle of the US tour. It was the 13th performance of “North America #2”. The pro shot of this show is the very symbol of the “KISS FAREWELL Tour”. The TV broadcast has produced many pre-releases, and our Japanese broadcast version “NEW JERSEY 2000: JAPANESE BROADCAST” is a popular work that has been in constant contact with overseas collectors. Furthermore, it is such a classic that it has been made official with the box “KISSOLOGY VOLUME THREE”. However, this work is neither such a pre-release copy nor the official version. It is a “2025 remaster version” produced by overseas enthusiasts to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the “KISS FAREWELL Tour”. In fact, its quality is shocking. The work notes have also been made public, but the visual beauty of the video has been completely adjusted, frame corrected, and rate upscaling has been applied, and it has been completely updated to the official standard of 2025. Furthermore, it is not just the video that has been uploaded. The audio has also been remixed (probably after AI demixing). Not only has the resolution improved, but the vocals have also become more modern, with a more prominent sound. In recent years, there have been cases where the official channels of various bands have brushed up and released famous footage from the past, but it seems that the latest technology in 2025 has reached a frightening level. What is depicted in such beautiful footage is the real KISS excellence of the original four members. In fact, it is not the complete version of the show, but it is a different selection from the official version / Japanese broadcast version, so let’s compare and organize it here. Messenger from Hell (4 songs) Deuce/Firehouse/100,000 Years/Black Diamond Hell’s Legion (5 songs) Detroit Rock City/Shout It Out Loud/Do You Love Me? (★)/God of Thunder/Beth (*) Others (5 songs + 2 songs) 70’s: 2000 Man (★)/Let Me Go, Rock ‘N’ Roll/Shock Me (*)/Love Gun/Rock And Roll All Nite 80’s and after: Heaven’s on Fire/Psycho Circus *Note: Songs marked with “★” were not in the official version. Songs marked with “*” were not in the Japanese broadcast version. …And so it goes. All the songs in the official version have been added with “2000 Man” and “Do You Love Me?”. “Calling Dr. Love”, “Lick It Up” and “Cold Gin” were not included in the Japanese broadcast version even though they were released the previous year (although some MCs have Japanese subtitles, so it seems that the Japanese broadcast is also included in the material…). A quarter century has already passed since the wonderful “KISS FAREWELL Tour”. This work itself is a masterpiece of memorable music, and it also makes you realize the flow of time and the progress of technology. An updated version of the symbolic pro shot of the “KISS FAREWELL Tour” has been released. This is a remastered version produced by overseas enthusiasts to commemorate the 25th anniversary, and it is a piece that exceeds the official version in terms of both sound and visual beauty, reborn to the 2025 standard.
