Hey there KISS Fans, listen up – This is not just another KISS tribute band…
Alive! ’75 is a live concert concept performance that brings the KISS Alive! album to life within a period-specific 1975 atmosphere. So much more than just guys dressed as KISS playing KISS songs, the overall experience is completely immersive and is designed to take you back to 1975, to see, hear and FEEL what a 1975-era KISS performance was really like.
Think about it – back in 1975, and following almost two years of non-stop touring across the US and Canada, KISS was determined to hit it big. They criss-crossed the country incessantly, playing anywhere and everywhere they were welcome. And with virtually no radio support to speak of, KISS was finally about to “make it”. Their double live album Alive!, released on September 10, 1975, proved to be their break-out album. And now with Alive! ’75 – A Tribute to KISS, you can experience the magic and excitement of this period in rock ‘n roll KISS-tory…
It all starts with the “pre-show” experience. As you enter the Alive! ’75 theater, you are completely surrounded by elements of 1975. Blockbuster movie posters and other large-print advertisements and photographs catch your eye. Classic TV sitcoms, movie trailers and iconic commercials tickle your senses. The audio-visual displays, wall art, and an overhead soundtrack of “Time Warp – 1975 with Bill St. James” combine to provide a rich sensory sampling of this by-gone era. And as if that wasn’t enough, character actors provide an additional element of surprise and entertainment to complete the 1975 experience.
