Go back 20 years with the anniversary of the 'KISS' concert in Tokyo in 2001. For those who have not known the 70s/80s, 'KISS' is an American hard-rock group internationally known for two decades and whose the members performed in concert with make-up and costumes that were extravagant to say the least. While waiting for their farewell tour in 2022, they therefore come out of the recordings of concerts and this live in Tokyo (the Japanese have always been unconditional fans of the Americans) plunges us back into these crazy atmospheres of their concerts of the time with a set-list well supplied since it is more than two hours available to us. We find the essential titles with 'Detroit Rock City', 'Firehouse', 'Calling Dr. Love', the ballad 'I Still Love You', 'Black Diamond' and 'Rock And Roll All Nite' and, of course, the hit interplanetary 'I Was Made For Lovin' You '. In short, beyond the fans of the Americans, this live album is a good way for others to discover this legendary group and the live atmospheres of that time (see the video above from 'Love Gun') with, icing on the cake, long improvised solos that embellished the concerts with among others, for this one, a guitar solo in 'Shock Me' and a drum solo in 'God of Thunder'...
