This is the first date of the Dressed to Kill Tour .

According to http://www.kissmonster.com which states that the master tape for this show was offered on eBay in July 2013 by the seller/taper.

After the concert the taper actually went backstage and was able to talk with Peter Criss for about 15 minutes.

Chatting about a variety of topics. Peter discussed upcoming television appearances, planned magazine covers, the upcoming Beacon shows in 2 days.

He also mentions how his and Paul's voices are shot and most of the crew are sick. The band cancelled a show at Shaboo Inn in Willimantic, CT the following night.

This recording was found on a site called 'plumdusty blogspot'.

I converted the Flacs back to Wave and then tested the Waves for MPEG, using Traders Little Helper. All tested as: CDDA verified lossless. Results shown below.

I also tested for compression using EAC program. The spectral view, detected no compression.

The Frequency Analysis in 512 Hanning setting, tested fine, I'm confident this is Lossless.

Once I was satisfied that everything was lossless, I then checked the volume levels.

The right channel was about 2 decibels lower than the left. I raised and balanced the channels volume and re-tracked most of the songs.

I can believe that this comes from a master tape, it just sounds muddy and lo-fi...

As a teenager I absolutely loved this album and tried to teach myself how to play guitar listening to Ace Frehley.

I only wish I could have attended any of these concerts on this tour, but I was just a little kid at the time.

KISS in all their Glory Days... Glam-Bashing their way across the states. What a fun time to be living !!!!!
