70’s KISS professional shot excavation series that does not know where to stop. Two outflow masters of 1977, which is the latest bullet, will be released at the same time!
This work is the second in a series of such works. It is a multi-camera pro shot of “December 20, 1977 Lago performance”. Speaking of 1977, three tours were mixed, and the legendary first visit to Japan was also realized. Furthermore, “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN FEBRUARY 1977” will be released at the same time this week. In order to organize their positional relationships, let’s first look back at the outline of the activities at that time.

This is the 1977/1978 KISS. The big hit “COMPLETE BUDOKAN 1977 AFTERNOON / EVENING SHOW” and the simultaneous release “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN FEBRUARY 1977” were “ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour”, but the Largo performance of this work is “ALIVE II Tour”. It was a concert that was the 22nd performance.
This show is famous for the masterpiece pro shots that convey the golden age, and has been made official as a bonus DVD for “KISSOLOGY VOLUME ONE”. Furthermore, a complete version master with a counter was also discovered, and it has been very popular in our shop. This work is also the same pro shot video, but the master is completely different. It is a complete version without a counter, and it is the world’s first appearance version that greatly updates the highest quality ever.
Such a work is a master outflow of the people involved brought in by the same route as the recent shocking professional shot group, but its visual beauty is “completely official grade”. As mentioned above, it is actually officialized in “KISSOLOGY”, but it is more master quality than that. There are no twists, distortions, or bleeding, and there is no dubbing marks or fading over time. Although the audio mix is a little rough “excavation official class”, the screen is beautiful even among the newly excavated professional shots of recent years, and it makes me think “Is there an official complete laser disc?” Of course, such a thing does not exist in reality.)
A full show that surpasses the official number of songs and volume that is depicted with such an official quality. Let’s organize it while comparing it with the official “KISSOLOGY” version here.

● Hell Corps (5 songs)
・King of the Night Time World/Shout It Out Loud/God Of Thunder/Detroit Rock City (★)/Beth (★)
● Others (12 songs)
・Jigoku no Rock Fire: Ladies Room/Makin’ Love/I Want You/Calling Dr. Love
・Love Gun: I Stole Your Love/Love Gun/Christine Sixteen/Shock Me (★)
・Others: Firehouse／Let Me Go, Rock And Roll（★）／Rock And Roll All Nite／Black Diamond
* Note: “★” marks are songs that were not seen in the official “KISSOLOGY” version.

… and it looks like this. Unlike the conventional master with a counter, it is not until after the “Black Diamond” performance (a bonus scene where the disco ball and the exiting guests were silently reflected), but the show itself is completely recorded. Above all, the quality that penetrates the whole story is too different.
In addition to such a full show, this work also includes a valuable bonus video “Alive II Promo Reel”. As the name suggests, this is a promo video of “ALIVE II”, but 6 songs are collaged in about 5 and a half minutes, and the highlight scenes of the live are drawn one after another. The video itself has been uploaded to a certain major video site, but this work was created from a master film that also has a countdown screen for editing, and the quality is completely different.
Recently, we have introduced a large number of shocking professional shot masters that have leaked out from related parties, but this work is undoubtedly the best masterpiece in terms of quality. An absolute video that captures the full show of climax KISS with quality beyond the official. Please fully experience with the press DVD that leaves this shock forever!

★ Multi-camera pro shot of “December 20, 1977 Largo performance”. It is a master leaked by the parties concerned brought in by its own route, and it is a complete uncut version and more beautiful than the “KISSOLOGY” version. That’s the official LD drop (of course, such a thing does not exist in reality). Rock And Roll” is also included. The best masterpiece video of Golden Age KISS, including the precious “Alive II Promo Reel” as a bonus!
