  On January 1, 1985, KISS recorded "Animalize Live Uncensored," marking a pivotal moment in their career during the 1980s. Prior to this live performance, the band released the album "Animalize" in 1984, which featured tracks like "Heaven's on Fire" and "Fits Like a Glove," songs that were staples in their live sets during this period. The concert showcases KISS's signature high-energy performance style, a hallmark that helped redefine the live rock experience. Notably, this recording was significant as it was one of their early concerts featuring lead guitarist Mark St. John, who had joined the band after the departure of Ace Frehley, thus adding a different dynamic to their sound. The era also marked KISS's reinvention as they moved towards a heavier sound, striving to regain the attention they sought after their earlier success, and solidifying their status in the changing landscape of rock music in the 1980s.
