Tokyo has always held a special place of importance throughout the KISStory of the band and Off The Soundboard: Tokyo 2001 captures KISS giving the packed 55,000-seat venue the quintessential KISS live experience, direct from the soundboard with such classic anthems as I Was Made For Lovin’ You, Heaven’s On Fire, Rock And Roll All Nite and the #7 1976 Billboard hit Detroit Rock City, as well as rarities such as I Still Love You from 1982’s Creatures Of The Night. The 21-track concert is a celebration of the band’s musical legacy and features co-founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, with Ace Frehley on guitar and Eric Singer on drums.
KISS is globally recognized as one of the greatest live bands of all time and is the creator of what is universally considered the best live album ever, 1975’s gold-certified and No. 9 Billboard charting Alive! KISS – Off The Soundboard continues their storied legacy of groundbreaking live albums with a document of the spectacular, larger-than-life extravaganza that is a KISS concert.
Known for their trademark larger-than-life blistering performances, KISS has proven for decades why they are hands down the most iconic live show in rock and roll. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers who have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide have said this tour is devoted to the millions of KISS Army fans.

I pre ordered the cd version. Ace. Talk To Me. Sold. I do hope there are vintage original band shows up for release, hopefully ones no one has on actual bootleg. Or, cleaned up versions of favorites like Stoned In Paris, Fried Alive, Destroys Anaheim, the Michigan Palace FM broadcast from 74, etc. How about this: a 2 disc set of a Destroyer show, and disc 2 the Destroyer rehearsals/demos? The versions out there sound awful. All in all, this idea is a good one, it’s nice to look forward to Kiss live concerts.
I know there are bootlegs out there, but I would love to have releases featuring the Carr/Frehley and Carr/Vincent lineups. The later may never happen due to obvious reasons.
Medved, although I favor the original lineup, it would certainly be nice to see them put out soundboards from those eras, especially Creatures. We all love Eric Carr, how about the Palladium show from 1980? And just for archival and collection reasons, dare I say it, something from the Asylum tour. The Creatures and Asylum tours seem to be swept under the rug, and I don’t think Vinnie has any right to sue over recordings with him on them, he never signed his contract. It’s Gene and Paul who own all rights, I would imagine.
@Shannon: Didn’t know this platform requires objectivity like CNN. I’m entitled to my opinions just like you are. And who anointed you as the arbiter of what is deemed serious or non-serious? I scoff at your KISS fandom, and your weak Dr. Phil guru lingo about “art” and “living in the present.” We are arguing over grown men who wear make up. No one has seen the doc yet, so how does anyone know if it has something or nothing to offer? With this web site it’s always the same four guys posting the same ole rants.
Did you just cite CNN as a source of objectivity? LOL!!!!
@Dana: “CNN…” that’s me being a smart a**. Shannon and Doug are mostly right to not take me seriously. The only thing I’m serious about is my love for KISS, and that includes all line ups!
Oh thank God, you scared me there a bit..LOL!
My comment about art and living in the present is from philosophy, not any psychology or Freud. Maybe think about what I said instead of just dismissing it.
