The unstoppable 70’s KISS professional shot excavation series. Two outflow masters of 1977, which is the latest bullet, will be released at the same time!
This work is the first of such two series. It is a multi-camera pro shot of “February 18, 1977 New York performance”. Speaking of 1977, it is also a time when three tours are mixed, and the time is close to the recent excavation pro shot series. In order to grasp the positional relationship of each, it will be a little long, but let’s take a bird’s eye view of the activity summary for two years.

This is the 1976/1977 KISS. The “ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour” spans the year-end and New Year holidays, and the MSG performance of this work is about a month before the first visit to Japan. It was a concert that was the 30th performance of “North America # 4b”.
This show has long been known for its professional shots, and has been formalized as a bonus DVD for “KISSOLOGY VOLUME ONE”. This work is also the same pro shot, but it is a full-length version that is much longer than the official version. If you are an avid collector, you may already know that the long version master is on the market, but this work is (of course) different. It is a new excavation master for the first time in the world brought from a unique stakeholder route that has repeatedly released shocking works, and it is a shocking work with greatly upgraded sound and images.
“The quality is truly unprecedented.” Compared to the previous version, it is clearly young and has much less dubbing marks, and there is almost no white line noise that was an eyesore. More than that, the pixel itself is completely different. Details that have been crushed until now are left in detail, and even the wrinkles on the face hidden by makeup are clearly drawn. You can even see that the snare and strap, which you thought had a smooth surface, had a pattern.
“The voice is also completely different.” A beautifully floating contour, a glossy sound without distortion, a clear detail up to the breathing of the vocal, a beautiful separate feeling up to 11 notes for each instrument …. When I try to synchronize playback with the conventional version, I can see that the performance is the same, but when I listened to it, it was reborn so vividly that I thought it was a different live performance.
The full set of the “ROCK & ROLL OVER Tour”, which explodes in the United States, is depicted with such master quality. As mentioned above, it is much longer than the official version of “KISSOLOGY”, so let’s check the increase while comparing.

● Hell Corps (5 songs)
・Detroit Rock City (★)/Do You Love Me (★)/God Of Thunder (★)/Shout It Out Loud/Beth (★)
● Others (10 songs)
・Emissary from Hell: Firehouse/Cold Gin (★)/Nothin’ To Lose/Black Diamond
・Jigoku no Rock Fire: Take Me/Ladies Room (★)/Makin’ Love (★)/I Want You (★)
・Others: Let Me Go, Rock And Roll／Rock And Roll All Nite
* Note: “★” marks are songs that were not seen in the official “KISSOLOGY” version.

… and it looks like this. Out of all 15 songs, more than half of the 8 songs are significant upgrades. And the set is basically the same as the first visit to Japan. Currently, “COMPLETE BUDOKAN 1977 AFTERNOON SHOW / EVENING SHOW” is a big hit, but this work is also its home country American version.
The climax full show alone will fill you up, but this work also includes valuable bonus footage. Three songs “I Want You”, “Love ‘Em And Leave ‘Em” and “Hard Luck Woman” in the TV program “Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert” that appeared on “May 28, 1977”. This is also a leaked master that is different from the official “KISSOLOGY” version, and instead of Don Kirshner’s talk, it is recorded from the work countdown scene. The colors are more vividly emphasized in the official version, but the details and resolution of this work are much higher.

KISS is said to hold their last concert in 2023. The venue is likely to be in his hometown of New York. New York is the land of such beginnings and will be the land of the end. Speaking of its pronoun, Madison Square Garden is the only one, and what is engraved in this work is KISS in its heyday standing on the symbol stage. It is a multi-camera pro shot that captures the full show of the career climax, and the master outflow master who has greatly updated its highest peak. Please fully experience the press DVD that will never lose its shine.
