Product Description
Contents: [Limited Edition] [Paper Sleeve] [SHM-CD Specification] This album, the fifth in KISS's live album series, is a recording of their performance at the Mid-Hudson Arena in Poughkeepsie, New York, USA, on November 28, 1984, as part of the "Animalize World Tour." It is known as the only soundboard recording featuring the third guitarist, Mark St. John. Of the setlist for this historic performance, "Young and Wasted" and "Rock 'n' Roll All Nite" are incomplete tracks due to losses during tape changes and insufficient tape remaining, as they were originally recorded for archival purposes. However, the fact that St. John participated makes it a historically important live recording. The "Animalize World Tour" was a success, featuring a lineup that existed for only a short period: Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Carr, and guitarist Mark St. John. This album, "Off the Soundboard: Poughkeepsie, NY 1984," captures the legendary band in the midst of their US tour. The 18-track set includes songs from that era such as "Creatures of the Night," "I Love It Loud," and "Lick It Up," as well as the 1984 hit "Heaven's on Fire," which reached number 49 on the US Billboard charts. Furthermore, "Poughkeepsie, NY" also features timeless classics such as the anthems "Detroit Rock City" and "Love Gun," which have been loved for many years.
