27 Years Ago Today

Today it's 27 years since Kiss performed for the first time without their make-up. October 11th 1983 Kiss played in Lisbon, Portugal and this was the opening night of the Lick It Up tour. At this show Gene was spitting blood during "God Of Thunder". This is the only time he has done that without make-up. It was clear that this routine didn't work unmasked.
Here's footage of "Detroit Rock City" from this show, 27 years ago today.
