Notes:
- The concert started 30 minutes late.
- From a local review: "One thing a KISS concert isn't -- is dull. If Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have learned anything in their 12 years with the band, it's how to put on a show. Last night's performance at Freedom Hall was chock-full of the dazzling theatrics that catapulted the band to stardom during the mid-1970s... Many of their tunes are based on simple chord progression that Stanley played at great volume but with little originality. But he's a better singer than he is a guitar player, and he was quite convincing on the slower, bluesy numbers... Carr played a dismally dull drum solo, but it went over well with the audience... Simmons' vocal work wasn't much more than shrieks, but he delighted the crowd with his trademark stage shtick, the one where he sticks out his tongue for moments on end" (Courier-Journal, 12/14/85).
- An excellent AUD recording circulates from this show.
