COMMENT:
Sound quality was "F", now it is a bit better than a "D".
No more tape hiss at all (but no highs whatsoever)
and the guitars aren't so blaring anymore.
Note that they still are as shrill as they were live that night.
Were there even drums playing?  Can't tell.  That's how BAD this
source is. This remaster is on par (for lack of a better analogy) with
the 11-15-75 Rockford, IL show.  You have to remember they were
probably using a portable recorder that we used to use in
elementary school with an overhead projector!
The bass guitar on 100,000 Years intro now sounds very good.
Very dirty and so much 'growl'....very "loud"!
This is only for those looking to document KISStory, as it is such
an important gig.  Kudos to the kid that decided to roll tape!

December 31st - Industry premier at the Academy Of Music, NYC,
opening for Blue Oyster Cult with Iggy Pop and Teenage Lust,
where Gene sets his hair on fire doing the trick for the first
time in concert! This incident is handled with style with a
roadie extinguishing the fire with a jacket, while the set
continues uninterupted! Unfortunately, the band is not invited
back for a second set that night, but it doesn't matter!
