Creatures Of The Night Tour ⚡️
Irvine Meadows Amphitheater - Laguna Hills, California,
📸 Neal Zlozower
-First show with Mötley Crüe opening.
“During Saturday’s nights stop at Irvine Meadows of KIϟϟ’ 10th Anniversary Tour, it became apparent that history has come full circle. KIϟϟ was upstaged by it’s opening act, Mötley Crüe, an outrageous band that mixes the transsexual posing of the New York Dolls with a suggestion of Satanism and plenty of thundering heavy metal riffs. Although the energy and excitement Saturday night was with the rising stars, Mötley Crüe, KIϟϟ still proved it is a master of rock n roll extravaganza. Theater and entertainment have always been KIϟϟ’ strong suit. Unlike most rock acts in which the novelty effects wear off in the first five minutes, KIϟϟ managed to keep the thrills coming for the duration of the show. KIϟϟ’ 95 minute set featured a barrage of fog, smoke bombs, fireworks, flashing lights, cannon shots, and fire pots” (Santa Ana Orange County Register 03/28/83).
From another local review: "It's doubtful that anyone over the age of 10 has ever really cared about KISS's cartoonish, essentially juvenile approach to rock. Still, the group's performance Saturday at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre (to open the facility's 1983 season) showed there's nobody who deals with gee-whiz pop any better than KISS. Putting on one of the most elaborate state productions since the days when money was no object in the music business, KISS had the entire stage decorated as an armored tank and turret. This left the audience (gulp) looking down the barrel of the tank's cannon. Throughout the 90-minute performance, the band employed a slew of special effects including (wow) fireworks, explosions and a quartet of industrial-size flame throwers... While KISS' jackhammer brand of heavy metal offers little of lasting value, the group delivers it with some degree of imagination, and believe it or not, a lack of pretentiousness. For all the outlandish costumes and exaggerated behavior, this is a group that doesn't take itself too seriously" (Los Angeles Times, 3/28/83)

kissblr, how do you determine the personalities you personally give to the member’s personas? are you more media-based (phantom of the park, comics, etc)? do you base them off their rl counterparts? general vibes? some weird clusterfuck of everything? inquiring minds want to know 🤔

"Friends who've come so far to join us, We hope you come and join us again
Friends who've come to sing in the chorus, You floor us, we will sing 'til the end…
And I wish we all could stay, But I bid you a farewell
And it means the world to play, But I bid you a farewell...
Gathered here tonight… Did it up just right…
And It's all for you."
