Kissin’ Time in San Francisco

~ Release by KISS (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Tracks 1-13 recorded live at the Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, CA on January 31, 1975 during the band's supporting tour for Hotter Than Hell. This concert can be seen in its entirety on Kissology, Volume 1. The bootleg pressing contains multiple track spelling errors, which have been corrected for this entry.

The final four tracks are as follows:
14 - An instrumental demo of "A World Without Heroes" from the 1981 sessions for Music from "The Elder".
15 - Another demo from the Elder sessions. Different versions of this bootleg identify it either as "The Difference Between Men & Boys" or "The Unknown Force". No official version of this song has ever surfaced.
16 - A 1983 instrumental demo for "Young and Wasted". The bootleg mistakenly gives this a 1971 date.
17 - This is not, as labeled, a demo for "Shout It Out Loud" from Destroyer, but rather one of the mixes of a song recorded by the pre-KISS band Wicked Lester for their never-released debut album.
