KISS - Off The Soundboard. Is this the “Big Thing”?

It’s Tokyo 2001.

Ugh...I hope not. I wanted anything without Tommy or Eric on it.

Tokyo 2001 is with Ace and Eric (Singer)

I'm aware of that....I'm not a fan of Eric.

well, at least Ace is on there!

[Easy Catman]

I was thinking "the big thing" might have something to do with the 50 year copyright thingy that has seen the Beach boys release a lot of interesting old stuff?

[pepperkitty]

How about an early copy?

I have that cd. Don’t listen to it a lot but I enjoy it when I do.

IF this is Tokyo 2001 I welcome that. The video and audio that is circulating was captured from a low bandwidth webcast and suffers from audio scrubbing and low fi sound. BRING IT!

If it’s a soundboard release of a show, that would be amazing!!

What significance would the release of a 2001 show with Ace have though? And Jeeze, I just realized that Ace hasn’t been in KISS for 20 years now.

But really, I could see it in a series of shows being released but as a standalone?

[Tito]

And Jeeze, I just realized that Ace hasn’t been in KISS for 20 years now.

Which is way longer than he was ever out of the band before 1996. The mind boggles...

For starters they added Talk to Me when Eric rejoined. Beth was dropped in favor of I Was Made for Loving You - another song they were not doing in 2000. The band sounded much tighter and were playing incredibly well in Japan and Australia.

No, I understand that very well. Trust me, as a diehard it’s a dream. But what significance does it have if KISS randomly releases a show from 20 years ago? They can’t dub it as the “glory days” or anything.

It was the most talked about show for KISSology III. I think it was even shot by NHK (pure speculation) so maybe this is the first of many. Who knows. KISS never makes sense with their releases.

Gotta start somewhere, and I'd like it being unpredictable and not chronological. Bounce around the timeline — 2001, 1992, 2010, 1975, 1982, 1995, 1977, 1990, 2006, 1984, 2004, etc. Kruise shows in the 20-teens, Foundations Forum in 1993. Wild surprises! However unlikely.

This is Shock Me being done Total Justice. My favorite rendition since 1977, the energy and the jam was back.

What version of KISSology 3 do you have? I bought them all at the time to obtain all the bonus discs and then sold off the extra copies of the main package. I don’t have any 2001 shows here

And KISS is very linear to me. If anything, they never go against the norm. Live albums follow the tour that it came from. Like I said, I would certainly welcome this if this is the case but just seems like an oddball choice. KISS has conditioned me on what to expect from them, that’s all.

DAMN IT! I was hoping for something 70’s, hell I would even take 80’s Eric Carr era. But 2001?

I heard it’s a release based off a film some dude named Andrew made.

Could it be Dubai?

[joma5477]

If I paid $1000 for the platinum package to get the vinyl and then they just released it for everyone, I'd be pretty fuckin' pissed. Lucky for me I didn't pay anything and have zero interest in the Dubai show either way...but just sayin'.

It was talked about because it wasn't on KISSology III

It’s Tokyo 2001.

This would be bad ass!!

If they do put out shows, hopefully it won't be half-assed "cut some songs out" to fit it on one CD.

Yeah not cool since this is coming out in march 18th you would think there would be a picture and track listing

[Planet Caravan]

If its Tokyo 2001 without the poor lo fi internet audio, or alternatively any soundboard audio from 2001 that would be awesome.

I'd love an ongoing series of soundboard audio releases. There are lots to choose from, from the 70s, 80s and 90s.

I just hope its not yet another poor quality half asked kiss release.

Of course it’s not Dubai!!! Dubai was professionally recorded. Dubai will get its own release, on vinyl and for the masses. I don’t think they said anything about the vinyl being exclusive.

[godofthunder1969]

Preordered the vinyl.

Man, you don't even know what it is bro .

There is a thing called being able cancel an order.

GOOD IDEA! I just did the same!

I was at that show, so it would make a cool souvenir if it's done well.

While I don't think it's that, I would love for all the instant live shows to become available again at some point.

[metalfuel]

Whatever it is the price of the vinyl version is BIG.

[Tail of a hurricane]

Tokyo 2001 would be cool, but I think one of the Australian shows from 2001 would have been better. The band were more settled in, playing better, plus there were the cool medleys added to the shows.
But I’m glad to have anything new. Hopefully we get official news and full details soon.

I witnessed it in Melbourne. Fantastic 3 nights in a row.

[ktalley84]

Looks like maybe its sold out?? Target site is unreachable

$8.00 for standard shipping including tax. We dont even know what concert it is!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you take the word of the guy with connections, it's Tokyo 2001.

What we don't know: packaging and if it's exclusive to Target. Seems a little strange, though, that it's supposedly only a month and a half away, it's nowhere to be found elsewhere at this point, and no official info has been released.

If this is the "big thing" they were making a fuss over, then I'm hugely disappointed!

Isn’t “the big thing” going to be a two part, Paul sided KISS doc?

If that is, I would take the soundboard show every day of the week.

I'm not in the know other than what I read here, but that's not the impression I got. Sounded like it was product we'd likely be excited about...
