Live At Budokan 1988

---

“You want the best? You got the best!” Whoever gets these words hurled at, is about

to experience a musical and visual extravaganza delivered by a pair of fi rst-rate

show-offs – Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley – with supporting musicians fl ying

under the fl ag of KISS. Marketing pros of the fi rst order, Kiss have sold more than 75

million records during their career. Blessed with an excellent feel for catchy song arrangements, Simmons/Stanley

created many a timeless masterpiece of rock ’n’ roll. The pair is often listed as one oft the greatest songwriting duos

in rock history alongside Jagger/Richards and Lennon/McCartney.

In 1975, following the release of their album Alive!, Kiss were the biggest act in the US. In the second half of the

80s Kiss released a series of successful albums such as the release of “Crazy Nights” in September 1987 and the

best of- compilation “Smashes, Thrashes & Hits” in November 1988. During the Crazy Nights tour Bruce Kulick

played the keyboard for “Reason to Live”. The rest of the time Gary Corbett played the Keyboards but behind the

stage hidden by a curtain.
