The Asylum album was significant as it marked Bruce Kulick’s debut as Kiss’ lead guitarist, joining forces with drummer Eric Carr and founding members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. Notably, it featured the Motown-inspired hit single “Tears are Falling,” showcasing the band’s musical evolution during that time.

The Asylum tour was remarkable for featuring the largest illuminated Kiss sign ever taken on the road, making it a standout in the band’s history. It remains one of the few tours that had not yet been documented with a live album or home video, making this release particularly special for die-hard fans.
The most recent offering in the Off the Soundboard series was recorded during the 1984 Animalize tour, and it features the only officially released performance by Kulick’s predecessor, the late Mark St. John, making it a collector’s item for fans and music historians alike.
