On this day in KISSTORY - September 11, 1993 - We rocked the Foundations Forum at the Burbank Hilton Convention Center.

On this day in KISSTORY - September 10, 1975 - KISS ALIVE! was released. This double live album, recorded largely in Detroit's Cobo Arena (with some material from Iowa, New Jersey and Ohio), marked the pivotal giant step towards achieving domination in the 70's.

The multi-platinum album peaked at #9, and spent 110 weeks on the album charts.

"We wanted to put out a souvenir, almost like when you go to the circus," said Paul Stanley. "I really enjoy myself onstage, prancing around, shaking my ass, shaking my head, playing the guitar between my legs. I enjoy it as much as the audience. Basically, I am entertaining myself up there."

Thanks to Paul 'Blair' Christine for sharing his Dynasty, Unmasked, & Creatures Of The Night gold awards with us! Awesome!
