On August 20, 1976, KISS performed in front of over 42,000 fans at Anaheim Stadium in California. It was the then-rising band’s largest audience to date; only three years earlier, the band had been performing to audiences of ten people. The band are now commemorating the 50th anniversary of a seminal concert with a new collection titled Destroys Anaheim ’76.
Eddie Kramer, who originally recorded the concert, has newly mixed the material from the original multi-track tapes. The album features liner notes by Ken Sharp, who has authored multiple books on the hard rock group, including the New York Times bestseller Nothin’ to Lose: The Making of KISS. The special collection includes unreleased photos and memorabilia imagery.

…Available on four CDs, Alive! features the original double album along with two more complete shows (plus some relevant rehearsal audio and an excerpt of a third) that were, with a few post-production tweaks, used to create the landmark Alive! These overdub-free recordings have been newly mixed by the album’s original engineer, Eddie Kramer, who’s also done mixes of the original album in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround on the accompanying Blu-ray.
Kiss’ third album Dressed to Kill – the edge of their commercial breakthrough – is getting done up to the nines for its 50th anniversary.
