Kiss Foundations Forum 1993 Pro Shot Raw Footage Newly Discovered! Revenge Era Must See Kisstory!

[@leokimvideo]

Must have been one of the best small concerts Kiss did. Pauls voice is just past it's best year but he's singing amazingly here. Just shows how Kiss stripped back of all the tricks, bells and whistles is still a incredibly powerful live band

[@88kwthomas]

depending on the lineup..

[@bjornar9026]

I don't think his voice started deteriorating before the early 2000's.

[@KissArmy2000]

Ich denke, Pauls Stimme ist immer noch sehr kraftvoll. Erst nach dem Sydney-Orchester-Konzert wurde es schlechter.

[@vegasaxeman]

I WAS THERE!!! This was THE CLOSEST show to seeing them in New York City clubs in the early days! UNBELIEVABLE ENERGY! The Revenge album was out, and they were out for their "pound of flesh"! This was an industry event for new, up and coming HEAVY MUSIC Bands, and KISS received a Lifetime Achievement Award. I can't say enough about this show. This video brought me right back to that ENERGY FILLED NIGHT OF KISS ROCK-N-ROLL! Thanks, man! God bless and take care...

[@JPL1311]

Glad you enjoyed it! Saw KISS three times in small clubs and they were all amazing experiences!

[@dr.darkroom]

Pretty cool because they were pretty much a new band at this point with Eric doing the club shows. Best era ever!

[@GodBlessAndTakeCare5066]

​@dr.darkroom Hi "Doc" LOL! Eric is a drummers drummer... This guy is comfortable playing anything from Gene Krupa jazz stuff to Alice Cooper stuff! (Who he played for before he played with KISS) I actually got to know both Eric and Bruce pretty well, when my band opened for both of their bands several times! Once when they had a band together even! It's too bad that KISS became a "TV Soap Opra" with all of the bickering and name calling... Anyway, thanks for the reply man! Long live ROCK-N-ROLL! God bless and take care...

[@jameshughes6049]

They actually played 2 NYC clubs right before the Revenge tour in 1992, L'amour's and the Ritz.

[@brianrogers5537]

WOW, this is the most clear recording of Gene playing bass I've ever heard. It is all in the left speaker of my headphones, really, really cool hear him playing in this recording.

[@PowerTom_kyle]

I've had this show on VHS since 1995/96. It is a great show and great songs.

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

yea, the VHS tape trading network has had this full concert for a long time, mid 90s.

[@Dr.Jekyll]

Do you have a version without Take Me being cutoff?

[@VampyreGothique]

It's the first time I see Bruce's guitar version of "She", "Let me go rock n roll", "Got to choose"...Thank you very much. ...best regards from Perú

[@JPL1311]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@enzosixx123]

in some shows of the revenge tour (1992) they played she, and in only 2 shows forever on amplified guitar instead of acoustic (I think it was in Japan 1992)

[@Kissrulz67]

The Revenge “ rehearsal tour” was amazing had the privilege of being at center stage amazing experience

[@JPL1311]

The Tevenge Era shows were the best the band sounded

[@jflago]

I saw the show in SF! Amazing night!

[@twoo57]

HOLY SHIT BRUCE IS ON FUCKING FIRE FOR THIS SHOW !!!! You can tell he's been WANTING to play the classic songs. Holy fuck.

[@Rutigliano]

Thank you for sharing this piece of KISStory! Really appreciated!

[@JPL1311]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ausbornbred7358]

For all those people that say Kiss are just bombs and pyro, they need to watch this.

They sounded amazing with this line up reinvigorated for sure!

Thanks for This ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 1:38

YEEAAHHHHH ¡I LOVE REVENGE ERA!!

[@JPL1311]

Sound wise it may have been their finest era

[@brianrogers5537]

I love Ace Frehley as much as anyone, but Bruce steals the show here. He did each time I saw this era live too, he just rips through these songs with passion. Ace has a great, great sound but man I love Bruce's versions

[@JPL1311]

Bruce was a very underrated member of KISS

[@viniciuscastelli4264]

Wish I could see them like this again: no pyro, no makeup, just the songs, loud and IN YOUR FACE!

[@JPL1311]

And Paul's voice was in prime shape! They definitely had attitude and no nonsense approach back then!

Got to see them back to back nights on the Revenge tour. Tightest the band has ever been since ALIVE!

[@JPL1311]

Definitely a short but great live era!

I knew i had to find this gig after seeing a clip of it on Bruce's 30th anniversary of alive 3 video n he says ye got to play songs live which he never got to play live before. I love the original line up and i also love eric carr, but this line up is so amazing. Thanks for uploading!!

[@WilliamCurry-bh3dk]

B.K played EVERYTHING Kisswise

[@JPL1311]

He was the versatile guitarist they had

[@jameshughes6049]

The Revenge Era was the most comfortable and engaged Gene was out of makeup.

[@JPL1311]

He definitely recommitted himself to the band.

[@calebkey2050]

Seems they had finally found their ‘identity’ outside of the makeup. Unpopular opinion, but I think it’s a shame they put the makeup back on, and kept it on after Ace and Peter were gone. They changed course right when they were really getting the whole ‘unmasked’ thing down, and that’s a real bummer to me

[@Avetorro]

Hey guys, we (La Salle) were on that bill and you did a video for us. I've been trying to get hold of it for decades. I dont suppose you still have it?

[@JPL1311]

I don't have it

[@Avetorro]

[@gtyler7451]

Why do they sound like the old days here ? Friggin awesome

[@JPL1311]

In my opinion. This is the best they ever sounded live between Hot in the Shade and Revenge!

[@bw2937]

They sounded best here, better than the 70s.

[@j83vfn]

18:13 Baby, Let Me Go

[@WilliamCurry-bh3dk]

was fun huh ? my favorite era - the best JUST THE MUSIC

[@JPL1311]

Definitely fun brought new life to the band

[@annwilkiemeyer3433]

Actually Eric Singer has been in KISS since 1989 8:40

[@jameshughes6049]

No, he hasn't. He became a member after Eric Carr died in 1991. He was Paul's drummer on his solo club tour, that's it. I saw Eric Carr's last show before his death on the last show of the Hot in the shade tour at MSG in NYC, November 1990.

[@wmnhradio2177]

I feel like Bruce was kind of the star of the show here. I like it.

[@JPL1311]

Bruce definitely sounded great during this time period!

[@marcusmoon1859]

I wish they played these songs today. I know they’re a lot older now but as much as I love them to this day, they’re just going through the motions. Here they seem really into what they’re playing & they’re having fun. Not today. It’s so obvious. I’d be willing to bet Tommy & Eric would love to playing these songs instead of the stale setlist they’re playing today. Just my two cents 🙄

[@JPL1311]

I think at this point they thought it would be done and the pandemic interfered with their plans. I wish they changed up the setlist a lot more and played some deeper cuts for the fans

[@javtimestwo]

This is awesome footage. High quality and sounds great. Was this filmed by MTV? They seemed to report from this Forum every single year, huh? Let's not forget Kiss was in big decline that year. Despite Alive III being released, the band was unable to tour to promote the record due to lack of demand/interest. This version of the band was playing at a high level but hardly anybody in the music world cared and the lack of radio/sales/promotion impacted Kiss negatively.

[@JPL1311]

Yes it was I believe it was for Headbanger's Ball

[@Dr.Jekyll]

Unable to tour? They were on a national tour and just played Miami Arena on 10/31/92, and this show is just 5 months later. What are you talking about that couldn’t tour? FAKE NEWS!

[@AlmostReady504]

Passion in Eric's playing back then

[@JPL1311]

Yup he just joined his favorite band and it showed!

[@jayshomer4191]

I missed the Revenge tour but I was fortunate to experience the reunion tour February 1997 & the farewell in 2000. That was the end of the band.

[@JPL1311]

In my opinion Revenge Tour was the band at its peak sound wise!

[@bobbywhiles6252]

What model was that Les Paul looking guitar Paul was playing?

[@bobowrathsovine.]

Where the hell is the Foundations Forum? I never heard of the place

[@bbqlarry4294]

It was a rock music convention back in the 90’s somewhere in Burbank. I think it was at the Hilton. I just saw myself in the front row of this show. Scorpions headlined the night before.

[@bobowrathsovine.]

@@bbqlarry4294 In the Kiss Confidential home video from 1993. I saw myself and a friend I think it was right before the closing credits. We were standing in the ilse banging our heads like dorks. Most of it was filmed at The Palace Of Auburn Hills Michigan in November 1992. The majority of Kiss Alive 3

[@pauldunlea3669]

This Is One Good Damn Show. I Wasn't Really In To '' This Era Of Kiss '' But They Played Some Damn Good Vintage Stuff Here !

This all started during the Hot in the Shade Tour and reached its perfection during Revenge

[@robertnobody]

1992 was their last USA arena tour that was plagued with attendance problems, they spent the next few years 1993-1995 doing special events like this, it wasn't until 1996 when the original line-up Reunited, that KISS returned to the larger venue hockey rinks in the USA.

[@JPL1311]

It depended on the area I saw them in NY metro area and PA where the shows were pretty close to if not sold out. This is when the 80's Metal started losing out to the Grunge movement. It wasn't just KISS

[@choborrete]

También conocido por su personaje teatral, The Demon, es el bajista y colíder de Kiss, la banda de rock que cofundó con el cantante y guitarrista rítmico Paul Stanley a principios de los 70's. 74 AÑOS.

[@FlyingIcemanVX]

Damn…. They kicked into “TAKE ME” and then it cut to another song! Crap! Would’ve been badass to hear them kill that song! Show was badass though!

[@JPL1311]

Sadly the footage was other production purposed so not always full songs or shows

[@mattjeka5553]

This was when kiss was a real band 👏

[@JPL1311]

This was result of Gene fully committed to KISS

[@peterdwyer9430]

Unless this got edited off the video, I didn't like them only playing the start of Take Me and not playing the whole song. Stuff like that leaves me feeling disappointed. I remember Ace did that with Ozone on one of his solo shows in 2015

[@JPL1311]

It's raw footage and some songs were cut off due time limitations of what could be filmed

[@TonysMusic1974]
