KISS - "Tokyo Went Crazy Again!" (Japan 1978)(Sonic Restoration 2026)
Recorded March 28th, 1978 at Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, Japan.
Promoter: Udo Artists
Other act(s): Bow Wow
Reported audience: 11,000 **SOLD-OUT
Recorded by Mr. Peach
Recorded on the second Japan tour one of the best ever performances was digitally remastered from the master audience tape of the March 28th performance, which was the second day of five consecutive performances at Nippon Budokan in 1978. Recorded in very high quality for the time. Already gaining popularity on a global scale and making a huge splash in 1977, the level of enthusiasm in Japan was incredible, especially since the tour was held after the release of the live album “ALIVE II”, which was exceptionally well received at the time. On the series of performances at the Budokan, the excitement was unprecedented! Often massive chorus' can be heard and the crowd seems to react to the spectacle on stage with one overwhelming voice.
The source of this day's recording was not only in limited circulation, but also the quality was poor, so this is truly an upgrade for many. The show includes songs from the album “LOVE GUN”, added to the previous year’s performance, as well as a guitar solo and Ace’s vocals on “Shock Me”, a great flow to Gene’s solo to Peter’s drum solo and with all the explosions going off the Japanese go off in a frenzy. In all it's bombastic glory, this is the story of KISS at its peak in the ’70s!

KISS - "Rage TV Special 2001" (KISS' Greatest Hits in Music Videos)
Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons of KISS present their biggest hits in the Rage TV studio.
This is the rebroadcast from June 30th 2001 on ABC TV Australia.
Before YouTube we kids of the 1970s would watch the TV each saturday morning for hours. We could not skip songs or shows. Now, in 2026, that seems unreal, yet it is oddly refreshing and even mindful to try and watch this nearly 2 hours long KISS compilation in one sit.
Enjoy!
