KISS - "Tokyo Went Crazy With KISS" (Tokyo Japan 1978)(Sonic Restoration 2026) Turn Me Up!™

 



For me personally the 1978 "ALIVE II" tour of Japan is the pinnacle of what we could enjoy from the original 4 before they split up. This show presented here is one of my all-time favorite audience recording of the band. Sadly the version out there is brick-walled and compressed to a pulp which causes listening fatique. I reintroduced peaks and valleys in the sound, recreate the transients and the soundstaging, re-EQ'ed the whole so it would sound as good as possible and it sounds like you were actually there in the audience. This recording became one of the best (Audience Recordings) out there IMO, if not only for the amazing performances and the wild participation of the audience.

Enjoy!

Recorded March 29th, 1978 at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan.
Promoter: Udo Artists
Other act(s): Bow Wow
Reported audience: 11,000 **SOLD-OUT

KISS - "Crazy Nights" (Remixed & Remastered 2026) Turn Me Up!™

 




©1987 Mercury, KISS Catalog Ltd. 

℗2026 Hipper Than Hell Records 

 

01 - Crazy, Crazy Nights [00:00:00] 02 - I'll Fight Hell To Hold You [00:03:46] 03 - Bang Bang You [00:07:55] 04 - No No No [00:11:48] 05 - Hell Or High Water [00:16:05] 06 - My Way [00:19:32] 07 - When Your Walls Come Down [00:23:35] 08 - Reason To Live [00:26:59] 09 - Good Girl Gone Bad [00:30:58] 10 - Turn On The Night [00:35:33] 11 - Thief In The Night [00:38:52

 

Since long KISS fans have been complaining about the somewhat sterile production/mix for an otherwise great album. I do like the original, mostly because of the time that it transports me to whenever I hear "Crazy, Crazy Nights", "Reason To Live" or "Turn On The Night". But, yeah, it's kind of a whimpy, too poppy targeted sounding album too. So, I have tried to put some emphasis on the drums and bass, give the guitars a bit more grit, and kill off some of that screeching high pitched energy in Paul his voice all the time. This remix / remaster does have balls in comparison to the 1987 version. Which is a great album in itself.

This is a post for the younger generations that often don't even know what dynamic range in music is because they've never experienced it. This Music Video Album was compressed and clipped to a dynamci range of 3dB. That's not music, that's sonic warfare! LOL
