In 1988, KISS was at the height of their no-makeup era, sending their ambitious work "CRAZY NIGHTS" to 18th place in the US for the first time since "DYNASTY". This is a rare video that allows you to experience a full show with plenty of rare songs. This work contains the "New York performance on August 13, 1988". It is a scorching audience shot taken at the legendary club "The Ritz". Speaking of the "CRAZY NIGHTS Tour", their first visit to Japan in 10 years is also a memorable place, but it was also the largest world tour in the no-makeup era worldwide. And as if reflecting that momentum, they mass-produced video masterpieces. It's a good opportunity, so let's start by checking out their masterpieces while taking a bird's-eye view of their activities. 1987 "CRAZY NIGHTS" released on September 21st November 13th - December 31st: North America #1 (31 performances) ← ※ PHILADELPHIA 1987 1988 January 1st - April 2nd: North America #2 (66 performances) April 16th - 24th: Japan (5 performances) ← ※ BUDOKAN 1988 2ND NIGH July 4th: Swansea performance August 12th + 13th: New York (2 performances) ← ★ here ★ August 16th - October 4th: Europe (23 performances) ← ※ MOR 1988 and others This is KISS in 1987 / 1988. The New York performance of this work was a shoulder warm-up club gig held before the European tour. The video of this day is also a bonus exclusive to Best Buy of the official "KISSOLOGY VOLUME TWO", but this work is different. Unlike the official version, which was a digest of only 11 songs, this is a 100% live audience shot taken throughout the full show. Not only the length, but also the shooting position is completely different from the official version. The official version was a distant one-camera from the back of the venue, but this work is in the middle of the arena. It is a scorching hot image with plenty of realism that you are participating in the show. It is not called a spectacular view because you can see the arms of the front customers, but the power of approaching the members in a close-up and the enthusiasm of the club far exceed the official version. The official version (perhaps it was a documentary shoot) felt like it was shot from a distance, but this work has a strong feeling that Paul, Gene, and Bruce are "right in front of you", and the fan psychology of trying to capture them even a little up close is also hot. In addition, the fans on the scene surrounding the photographer are excited by each song, and the joy of "I can't believe I can see KISS at the club!" comes out of the monitors and speakers. In such a club, you can experience a full show with plenty of rare songs that were cut from the official version. Let's compare the sets and organize them. 70's (10 songs) KISS: Deuce/Cold Gin/Black Diamond/Firehouse/Strutter (★) Others: Love Gun/Calling Dr. Love/Shout It Out Loud (★)/Rock And Roll All Nite (★)/Detroit Rock City (★) 80's (10 songs) CRAZY NIGHTS: Bang Bang You (★★)/No, No, No (★★)/Crazy Crazy Nights/Reason To Live (★★) Others: Fits Like A Glove/Heaven's On Fire/War Machine/Tears Are Falling/I Love It Loud (★)/Lick It Up (★) *Note: The "★" mark indicates a song that was cut from the official version of "KISSOLOGY VOLUME TWO". In particular, the "★★" mark indicates a song that was only available on this tour. ... and so on. The official version was about 46 minutes long, while this work is about 87 minutes long. Naturally, the number of songs is overwhelming, but in fact, the content is also not competitive. The "CRAZY NIGHTS Tour" is famous for having many limited songs that are not played on other tours, but the official version cut out the essential "Bang Bang You", "No, No, No", and "Reason To Live". Of course, this work allows you to fully experience the full show, including such rare songs. As you can see from the schedule above, the "CRAZY NIGHTS Tour" is a treasure trove of footage. Starting with the press masterpiece "PHILADELPHIA 1987 MASTER VIDEO" from the related route, there are many outstanding professional shot masterpieces, such as the classic "BUDOKAN 1988 2ND NIGHT" and "MONSTER OF ROCK GERMANY 1988 UPGRADE". However, there is no other work that allows you to experience the extremely valuable club experience. You can experience the closed room space that everyone envies 100% of the real thing. This is a piece that overwhelms the official version in both length and heat. A scorching audience shot of the "August 13, 1988 performance at The Ritz." This is a different version from the official version of "KISSOLOGY VOLUME TWO," and is a super-realistic video with a sense of being in a closed room at a legendary club. This is a masterpiece of an experiential shot that allows you to enjoy a mountain of songs that were cut from the official version, including the limited songs "Bang Bang You," "No, No, No," and "Reason To Live" that are only available on this tour.
