DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
The success of Kiss’s first live album, Alive!, released September 1975, not only brought Kiss the breakthrough they had been seeking, but arguably saved the Casablanca label, which, at the time, was close to bankruptcy. Following this success, Kiss partnered with producer Bob Ezrin, who had previously worked with Alice Cooper. The result was Destroyer, released March 15, 1976, Kiss's most musically ambitious studio album to date. Destroyer, with its rather intricate production (using an orchestra, choir, and numerous tape effects), was a departure from the raw sound of the first three studio albums. While the album sold well initially and became the group's second Gold album, it quickly dropped down the charts. Only when the ballad ‘Beth’, the B-side of the single ‘Detroit Rock City’, began to gain more airplay on FM radio did the album's sales rebound. The single was subsequently reissued with the A- and B-sides reversed. ‘Beth’ peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's first Top 10 single in the United States.

The band’s Destroyer Tour, also known as The Spirit of '76 Tour, began on July 3rd ’76 - the day before the USA celebrated 200 years
of independence - and ran through until September 12th, when it concluded in Springfield, MA. With the exception of one date in
Toronto, Canada on September 6th, the tour was confined to shows in the US.
• Many Kiss fans still rate this stunning show as among Kiss’s finest ever from this era!
• Among the very finest concerts Kiss performed while on this tour was played at the Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ, 10th July
1976, their fourth gig of the tour. Supported by The J. Geils band and Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, the event was a night to
remember!
• Previously unreleased, the full set Kiss played that warm summer evening, now more than 45 years ago, is presented here on this new
CD!
