KISS - "Adelaide: Is That You"Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, Australia November 18th, 1980

Notes: obviously any show KISS plays "Shandi" at is a rare event (it was a hit record in Australia), and the quality of this recoding makes it all the more enjoyable. The band play a very tight set with Eric adding a new energy live that was missing in 1979 on the "Dynasty" tour.

KISSMonster Notes:
While in Adelaide a bomb hoax was called into the hotel forcing its evacuation on the night of November 16. The following night a dinner at the private "Ballroom" of Ayers House for the touring entourage was scheduled.
This is the first known set from the tour, which was essentially the same Europe with the addition of "Shandi," due to the success of the single and "Unmasked" album on the Australian charts.
From a local review: "After months of expectation, Kiss was on-stage at Adelaide Oval, despite early fears the concert might be cancelled due to the weather... Most of what we had been promised came true... The music was a well-rehearsed, if sometimes scratchy, soundtrack for the Kiss special-effects show... Given the trying conditions, it was a commendable effort" (Tim Parker).
One newspaper reported that 200 fans were injured during the concert. The police denied the rumor which had "incensed member of the band" (The Sydney Morning Herald, 11/21/80).
