master series leaked from the people involved in the golden age of pro-shots that knows no bounds. The latest bullet is the two series of “LOVE GUN Tour” that has been overlooked so far. “Complete version x 2 days” of the big classic Houston 77 will be released urgently!
This work is the first of two series. It is a multi-camera pro shot of “Houston performance on September 1, 1977”. There were several 1977 items in the professional shots that have been leaked recently, but the meaning of this week’s two series is different from them. In order to explain the area, let’s first check the position of the show from the 1977 schedule where the three tours are crowded.

“ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour”
・January 1-March 7: North America #1 (38 performances) ←※MSG FEBRUARY 1977
・March 24-April 4: First visit to Japan (10 performances)←* COMPLETE BUDOKAN 1977 (Diptych)
“LOVE GUN Tour”
・July 8-September 5: North America #2 (30 performances)← Coco (Diptych)★
“ALIVE II Tour”
・November 15-December 31 Sun: North America #3 (27 performances)←*LARGO 1977

This is KISS in 1977. We have introduced related masters such as “COMPLETE BUDOKAN 1977”, “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN FEBRUARY 1977” and “LARGO 1977” who came to Japan for the first time, but they are records of “ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour” and “ALIVE II Tour” . This week’s Houston 2 series is a full pro shot of “LOVE GUN Tour” different from them.
Also, the 1977 Houston performance was performed for two consecutive nights. The official version of “KISSOLOGY VOLUME ONE” was the second day “September 2nd”, but this work is a different first day. In other words, it is a super-important excavation with a value MAX that allows you to enjoy the full show that was not officially seen!
And the quality that spells out that precious scene is also shocking. If you have experienced even one of the related party master series so far, I think it will come to mind, but it is a completely official grade without questions … No, it is more beautiful than the second day video recorded in “KISSOLOGY”. As a matter of fact, the official “KISSOLOGY” version was also replaced with only 4 encore songs on the first day, that is, the same video as this work. However, the freshness is clearly a true master quality that this work goes above.
The “LOVE GUN Tour”, which is different from the “ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour” and the “ALIVE II Tour”, is drawn with a quality that exceeds the official. Since the representative images of the front and back tours are also a big hit, let’s organize the set while focusing on the songs that can not be seen here.

-Common with the tour before and after (10 songs)
・Hell Corps: Shout It Out Loud / God Of Thunder / Detroit Rock City / Beth
・Jigoku no Rock Fire: Ladies Room/Makin’ Love/I Want You
・Others: Firehouse/Rock And Roll All Nite/Black Diamond

●Songs not seen in “MSG FEBRUARY 1977 (ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour)”
・Love・Gun: I Stole Your Love/Love Gun/Hooligan/Christine Sixteen/Shock Me・
Rock Fire in Hell: Calling Dr. Love
●Songs not included in “LARGO 1977 (ALIVE II Tour)”
・Take Me/Hooligan

It looks like this. It is natural that the “ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour” does not have the “LOVE GUN” number, but “Hooligan” is a rare song that was not played on the “ALIVE II Tour”. Other classics also incorporate “Calling Dr. Love” and “Take Me”.
It is a video masterpiece that you can enjoy a full show that can not be seen officially, although it is of the highest quality that four songs are adopted for the official. One piece that is precious and outstanding even in the professional shot group released at the same time this week. Please enjoy yourself with the permanent preservation press DVD.

★ Multi-camera pro shot of “September 1, 1977 Houston performance”. It is the latest work of the master series of the shocking series of stakeholders, and it is a separate performance version that will be the day before the recorded video of “KISSOLOGY” (only 4 encore songs were officially adopted). The super rare song “Hooligan” is also the sister version of the sister work Pro Shot where you can enjoy the full show of the delicious “LOVE GUN Tour”.

止まるところを知らない黄金時代プロショットの関係者流出マスター・シリーズ。その最新弾は、これまで見過ごされてきた“LOVE GUN Tour”の２連作。大定番ヒューストン77の「完全版×２日間」が緊急リリース決定です！
本作は２連作の第一弾。「1977年９月１日ヒューストン公演」のマルチカメラ・プロショットです。このところ連発している関係者流出プロショットにも1977年物はいくつかありましたが、今週の２連作はそれらとは意味が異なる。その辺をご説明するためにも、まずは３つのツアーがひしめく1977年のスケジュールからショウのポジションを確認してみましょう。

“ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour”
・１月１日ー３月７日：北米#1（38公演）←※MSG FEBRUARY 1977
・３月24日ー４月４日：初来日（10公演）←※COMPLETE BUDOKAN 1977（二部作）
“LOVE GUN Tour”
・７月８日ー９月５日：北米#2（30公演）←★ココ（二部作）★
“ALIVE II Tour”
・11月15日ー12月31日：北米#3（27公演）←※LARGO 1977

これが1977年のKISS。初来日の『COMPLETE BUDOKAN 1977』や『MADISON SQUARE GARDEN FEBRUARY 1977』『LARGO 1977』といった関係者マスターをご紹介してきたわけですが、それらは“ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour”や“ALIVE II Tour”の記録。今週のヒューストン２連作は、それらとは異なる“LOVE GUN Tour”のフル・プロショットなのです。
また、1977年のヒューストン公演は２夜連続公演。『KISSOLOGY VOLUME ONE』の公式版は２日目「９月２日」でしたが、本作はそれとは異なる初日。つまり、オフィシャルで観られなかったフルショウが楽しめる貴重度MAXな超重要発掘なのです！
そして、その貴重な光景を綴るクオリティがまた衝撃的。これまでの関係者マスター・シリーズを１本でも体験された方ならピンと来ると思いますが、問答無用の完全オフィシャル級……いや『KISSOLOGY』収録の２日目映像よりも美しいくらいです。実のところ、公式『KISSOLOGY』版もアンコール４曲のみ初日に差し替えられていまして、つまり本作と同じ映像。しかし、鮮度は明らかに本作の方が上を行く真なるマスター・クオリティなのです。
そのオフィシャル超えクオリティで画かれるのは、“ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour”とも“ALIVE II Tour”とも異なる“LOVE GUN Tour”。前後ツアーの代表映像が大ヒット中でもありますので、ここではそれらでは観られない曲に着目しながらセットを整理してみましょう。

●前後のツアーと共通（10曲）
・地獄の軍団：Shout It Out Loud／God Of Thunder／Detroit Rock City／Beth
・地獄のロックファイアー：Ladies Room／Makin’ Love／I Want You
・その他：Firehouse／Rock And Roll All Nite／Black Diamond

●『MSG FEBRUARY 1977（ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour）』で観られなかった曲
・ラヴ・ガン：I Stole Your Love／Love Gun／Hooligan／Christine Sixteen／Shock Me
・地獄のロックファイアー：Calling Dr. Love
●『LARGO 1977（ALIVE II Tour）』にない曲
・Take Me／Hooligan

……と、このようになっています。“ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour”に『LOVE GUN』ナンバーがないのは当たり前ですが、その中で「Hooligan」は“ALIVE II Tour”でも演奏されなかったレア曲。他のクラシックスでも「Calling Dr. Love」「Take Me」が組み込まれています。
オフィシャルにも４曲分が採用されるほどの極上クオリティでありながら、公式では観られないフルショウを楽しめる映像傑作です。今週同時リリースのプロショット群でも貴重でズバ抜けた１枚。どうぞ、永久保存プレスDVDで存分にお楽しみください。

★「1977年９月１日ヒューストン公演」のマルチカメラ・プロショット。衝撃作連発の関係者マスター・シリーズの最新作で、『KISSOLOGY』収録映像の前日となる別公演版です（アンコールの４曲のみ公式にも採用されていました）。激レア曲「Hooligan」も美味しい“LOVE GUN Tour”のフルショウを楽しめる姉妹作プロショットの姉篇です。
