KISS has premiered a live version of “Lick It Up” from “Off The Soundboard: Live In Virginia Beach”, which is being released on March 11. The original album version of “Lick It Up” came out in 1983 and is the title track from the band’s platinum-selling release. The song quickly became a fan favorite, with the promotional video featuring the band without makeup for the first time.
“Off The Soundboard: Live In Virginia Beach” was recorded live at the Virginia Beach Amphitheatre on July 25, 2004. This is the second in a series of live releases by the band and will be available to stream and download, with a three-LP standard black vinyl set, a two-CD set, and a limited edition three-LP set pressed on 180-gram opaque green vinyl, all available exclusively through the official KISS online store.
“Off The Soundboard: Live In Virginia Beach” finds the legendary band in the midst of their “Rock The Nation” tour, which is notable for being the first full U.S. tour of the longstanding Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer lineup. The career-spanning 20-song set includes classic KISS tracks such as “Lick It Up”, “I Love It Loud” and the worldwide smash and No. 11 1979 U.S. Billboard-charting “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”, as well as perennial KISS fan favorites “Makin’ Love”, “King Of The Night Time World” and “100,000 Years” that dig deep into the band’s astonishing 40-plus-year back catalog.
KISS is globally recognized as one of the greatest live bands of all time and are the creators of what is universally considered the best live album ever, 1975’s gold-certified and No. 9 Billboard-charting “Alive!” The “Off The Soundboard” series continues KISS‘s storied legacy of groundbreaking live albums with a document of the spectacular, larger-than-life extravaganza that is a KISS concert.
Known for their trademark performances, KISS has proven for decades why they are hands down the most iconic live show in rock n roll. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and are America’s No. 1 gold record award-winning group of all time in every category. Peerless as a live act, the band’s illustrious legacy has been marked by record-breaking global tours during a remarkable 48-year career.
