The Palace of Auburn Hills, Auburn Hills, MI, USA 27th November 1992

　The last masterpiece of the no-makeup era, “REVENGE.” Enjoy the “hard and aggressive” KISS, with these three top-notch pro-shots released simultaneously!

　This is the second installment of a trilogy. It’s a multi-camera pro shot from the November 27, 1992 Auburn Hills performance. As some of you may already know, this is the complete version of the classic pro shot that was also included in the official “KISSOLOGY VOLUME 3.” Not only is it a complete work, but this is also the most important footage of the no-makeup KISS, and more specifically, an absolute must-see in the entire history of KISS. To explain its significance, let’s start with the final steps of the no-makeup era.

[A complete master version that surpasses the official version, unearthed through a unique route]
　This is KISS in 1992. The tour began before the release of “REVENGE,” but the main leg, “North America #2,” was about six months after the album’s release. The Auburn Hills performance in this work was the 39th performance.

　This day is also the most famous show on the “REVENGE Tour.” It was one of the original performances of “ALIVE III,” and our store’s press masterpiece “DEFINITIVE DETROIT 1992 SOUNDBOARD (Zodiac 792)” is also a big hit. Even the pro-shot footage is widely popular, being included in the official “KISSOLOGY VOLUME 3.” However, the official version is an incomplete version with several songs cut. In contrast, this work is a complete master version that includes all of the cut songs.

　Moreover, this work, discovered through our exclusive insider channels, also boasts the highest video quality. While the official version of “KISSOLOGY” was vivid at first glance, the highlights were digitally enhanced for a vibrant look, but this work showcases the natural feel of the young generation. The details are meticulous and not obscured by highlight processing. From Gene’s impressive facial expression to every strand of Paul’s flowing hair, from Bruce’s fingering to Eric’s drum solo, every moment is clearly visible. Another key point is that there are no audio overdubs. This is truly a pro shot that reigns supreme as the “REVENGE Tour” masterpiece.

[A full show packed with classic songs not seen in the official version]
　And it’s worth more than just being the pinnacle of the “REVENGE Tour.” First of all, the set list is delicious. Let’s take a look at the set contents here.

●80s and later (5 songs + 7 songs)
・REVENGE: I Just Wanna / Unholy / Domino / Take It Off / God Gave Rock ‘n’ Roll To You II
・CREATURES OF THE NIGHT: Creatures of the Night / War Machine / I Love It Loud
・Other: Heaven’s On Fire / Forever (★) / Lick It Up / The Star-Spangled Banner
●70s classics (11 songs)
・KISS: Deuce / Firehouse (★) / Strutter (★)
・HOTTER THAN HELL: Parasite / Watchin’ You / Hotter Than Hell (★)
・Other: I Want You (★) / Rock And Roll All Nite / Detroit Rock City / Shout It Out Loud (★) / Love Gun
*Note: Songs marked with a “★” were cut from the official version of “KISSOLOGY.”

…And so it goes. The show also features plenty of songs not seen on “KISSOLOGY,” as well as each member’s solo in full. Including five songs from “REVENGE” and three from “CREATURES OF THE NIGHT,” as well as popular 80s hits like “Heaven’s On Fire” and “Lick It Up,” half of the show is made up of numbers from their no-makeup days.

　This sense of balance is quite delicious. The next tour, “KISS MY ASS Tour,” was based on the concept of looking back on KISS’s entire history, resulting in a revival of many ’70s classics and a reduction in the number of songs from their no-makeup era. Needless to say, the ’70s have taken center stage since the original reunion. In contrast, this film captures the essence of their now-extremely precious no-makeup era with superb professional shots.

　Furthermore, the spectacle of the stage performances is also a key point. While the no-makeup era is often thought of as unspectacular due to their bare faces, the “REVENGE Tour” is a spectacular show that overturns that image. Starting with the spectacular “War Machine” performance, in which a giant Statue of Liberty explodes and transforms into a skeleton, visuals including flames and lighting are unleashed one after another. The multi-camera professional shots capture the spectacle in full. Even without makeup, “KISS with their amazing gimmicks” was back.

　This is the masterpiece of the “REVENGE Tour,” the absolute highlight of KISS’s no-makeup era. It’s this work. It boasts the highest quality, surpassing “KISSOLOGY,” a complete version that brings back six officially cut songs, and a spectacular stage performance, including a giant goddess explosion. This complete work is an essential piece not only for the “REVENGE” era, but also for the entire history of KISS. Please enjoy it to the fullest.

★ Multi-camera pro shots of the “November 27, 1992 Auburn Hills performance.” This new master, unearthed through our exclusive insider channels, offers a complete version that includes classic tracks and solos that were cut from the official “KISSOLOGY VOLUME 3.” The video quality is also amazing, with a natural feel that updates the peak. Experience the classic songs from the no-makeup era, which make up half of the show, and the spectacular stage performance, including a giant goddess explosion. This is the masterpiece of the “REVENGE Tour.”
