Episode 37: The Boot I - Dynasty Tour The Omni 1979

As 2022 comes to a close one looks back at the past and remembers what lead us to this place in time, that was the previous episode. Now we look towards the future. The Future with the band, future KISS related items... and the future of RBTE of course. We are so excited for what's in store for this show, including the episode you are about to hear, and a new segment that we are adding to the show, bootlegs!

The Dynasty Tour 06-30-1979 Atlanta, GA The Omni, Soundboard (Partial)

A big part of any major KISS fans collection are bootlegs. 2022 saw some major leaks this year, it rekindled the bootleg discussion on the show. The latter part of 2022 saw the "release" if you will of a soundboard recording that most fans were not aware of. Where it came from we do not know but what we got from this set was amazing look at the tour! Atlanta Georgia at the Omni on June 30th 1979 on the Dynasty tour. This this the peek of the bands popularity and the drop that is about to happen inside and outside of the band. In this episode Nick, Nikko & Rob discuss Atlanta, GA The Omni 1979 and The Dynasty tour!

This is how we close out 2022, and ring in 2023 with a kick in the but from our BOOT!

KISS Off The Soundboard: Des Moines 1977

The Year 1977,  KISS is on it's ALIVE II tour and makes a stop in Des Moines Iowa!?..... that's where we pick up the latest Off The Soundboard album. This is fourth in the series and the second in a row featuring the classic lineup of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, the last one being Donington 1996. This is KISS in its prime and dare we say at it peak in 1977.  KISS is everywhere and on all types of merchandise TV appearances, the radio and on the edge of collapse if they are not careful. This is a band that is at the top of it's game and can do no wrong. Is that what this release shows? How does it sound.. and is it the best of the series so far? Nick, Nikko, and Rob answer all these questions and more. The three generations of KISS fans dig in to what is going to be a special Off The Soundboard album!

Episode 33: Crazy Nights (35th Anniversary)

KISS released their 21st album on September 21st 1987. Paul and Gene worked with the hot producer at the time Ron Nevison for the next chapter of the band. Crazy Night would bring a pop/rock/metal sound for this album. More akin to 1980's Unmasked album but with a heavy keyboard presence.  Speaking of presence, Gene's was almost nonexistent. Gene was spending more time in Hollywood leaving the reigns to Paul and Ron. Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick delivered more on this album with Gene's on again off schedule. The result, a Platinum album for the band  and one that was on heavy rotation at MTV. 

On this episode Nick, Nikko & Rob look back at the album and review song by song, plus they pick their 9 as usual. How about we go back to 1987, push play on the cassette deck and as Paul would say "if life is a radio, turn it up to 10!"  Let's celebrate 35 years of Crazy Night!

Episode 32: Ace Frehley 1978 KISS Solo album

In an effort to keep Ace Frehley and Peter Criss from exiting the band in early 1978 pursue solo careers.  Gene, Paul and band manager Bill Aucoin said that each member should do just that, record KISS solo albums. Each album would be a KISS solo album where each member would be the center star of their own direction and music and would be in complete control, all while still being under the umbrella od KISS.

September 18th 1978 would see the release of 4 KISS albums at the same time on the same day. Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley. The ladder is where we start this episode. Each September on the podcast Nick, Nikko, & Rob will look at one of the solo albums and review it. They are joined by In My Head KISS YouTube Podcast host Brant Meredith  to discuss and review the solo album that many KISS fans say is the best of the four. How do the guys feel about the album, how will they rank the album, and what about the cover? Its time to go back in the New Your Groover and back to the birth of Superhero KISS and 1978 and look at KISS Ace Frehley 1978 solo album
