Kiss/Switzerland 11.15.1983

No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a soundboard! The “LICK IT UP Tour” was released with Vinnie Vincent without makeup. This live album will give you the best experience of a European tour that is a little different from the original. This work is recorded in “Lausanne performance on November 15, 1983”. What is that audience recording? This… I’m sorry that I’m suddenly unreliable, but it’s such a thick soundboard recording that I can’t believe my ears. Aside from the quality, the show content is also important for this work. 1983 was the time when “CREATURES OF THE NIGHT Tour” and “LICK IT UP Tour” switched, and we have archived many masterpieces in our shop. Among them, the “European leg of the LICK IT UP Tour” is particularly valuable. First of all, let’s look at the two tours and explore the position of this work. 1982《October 13th “CREATURES OF THE NIGHT” released》《December: Vinnie Vincent joins》・December 29th-31st: North America #1a (3 shows) ←※ SIOUX CITY 1982 and others 1983・January 1st-April 3rd: North America #1b (50 shows) ←※ EL PASO 1983 and others・June 18th-25th: South America (3 shows) ←※ RIO DE JANEIRO 1983《September 22nd “LICK IT UP” released》・October 11th-November 25th: Europe (36 shows) ←★Here★・December 26th-31st: North America #2a (5 shows) 1984・January 1st-March 17th: North America #2b (53 shows) ←※ ALBUQUERQUE 1984 and others {Vinnie Vincent leaves in March → Mark St. John joins in April} This is KISS in the Vinnie Vincent era, which was mostly North America as usual, but the “LICK IT UP Tour” also included a “European” tour. Until now, the only live album from the “LICK IT UP” era was “North America #2b” in 1984, but this work will reveal the previously unexplored “European leg of the LICK IT UP Tour”. In fact, this work is different from the three trilogy “NASHVILLE 1984 SOUNDBOARD”, “TORONTO 1984 SOUNDBOARD”, and “ALBUQUERQUE 1984 SOUNDBOARD”, which are the symbols of the “LICK IT UP Tour”. Let’s organize the sets while comparing them here. 80’s (8 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 (★★)/Young And Wasted (★)/Lick It Up 70’s Classics (8 songs)・KISS: Cold Gin/Firehouse/Gimme More (★★)/All Hell’s Breakin’ Loose/Black Diamond・Others: Rock And Roll All Nite/Detroit Rock City/Love Gun*Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that have not been played since the remake. In particular, the “★★” mark indicates songs that are exclusive to the “LICK IT UP Tour”. …And so on. The precious “LICK IT UP” numbers are delicious, but the most rare are “Gimme More” and “Exciter”. Both are exclusive to the “LICK IT UP Tour”. More specifically, “Exciter” is a rare song that is not even included in the aforementioned soundboard trilogy. And as mentioned at the beginning, this work, which conveys such a precious scene, has a super thick sound of “Isn’t this a soundboard?” class. There is no sense of distance in the dense core on the on, and the sense of separation is clear down to each and every note of each instrument. For example, even compared to the genuine soundboard masterpiece “ALBUQUERQUE 1984 SOUNDBOARD”, the effect feeling is different, but the direct feeling is not lost in this work (!). As usual, it is an original master brought by our own related route, but if it had not been noted that it was an audience recording, it would have been introduced as a soundboard. It is a cultural heritage that allows you to fully experience the historic “first European no-makeup KISS” with a completely soundboard-class super direct sound. Not only the precious “Exciter”, but also the spirit of re-debut / re-invasion of the world that fills the entire show is delicious album. A super-thick audience recording of the “Lausanne performance on November 15, 1983”. The direct sound is so on-core that you can’t help but think, “Isn’t this a soundboard!?” The separation is also clear down to each and every note of each instrument. This is a cultural heritage album that allows you to fully experience “KISS’s first European tour without makeup” with a sound comparable to the genuine soundboard masterpiece “ALBUQUERQUE 1984 SOUNDBOARD”, and the super rare “Exciter” is also delicious.
