Kiss premieres unreleased track from Donington 1996 ‘Soundboard’ set

New vault recordings available in full June 10th

Kiss has premiered the first unreleased live version of “Do You Love Me?” from Kiss – Off The Soundboard: Live At Donington 1996, recorded during the Monsters Of Rock Festival at Donington Park in England on August 17, 1996. The studio version of “Do You Love Me?” is featured on the band’s 1976 multi-platinum selling album Destroyer and quickly became a Kiss Army favorite.

Kiss – Off The Soundboard: Live At Donington 1996 is the latest installment of the band’s popular official live bootleg series Off The Soundboard, and will be available on June 10th to stream and download, with a 3 LP standard black vinyl set, a 2 CD set, and a limited edition 3 LP set pressed on 180-gram red vinyl as well.

The set was recorded during the final year of the original run of the renowned annual music festival held at Donington Park in Leicestershire, England, and the 17-song set features powerhouse performances of classic Kiss concert staples such as “Do You Love Me,” “Shout It Out Loud,” “God Of Thunder,” and the title song from their 1976 multi-platinum Top Five album Love Gun. Kiss closed the festival on this date, which was also part of the highly anticipated Alive/Worldwide reunion tour featuring Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss, making Kiss – Off The Soundboard: Live At Donington 1996 a stunning sonic souvenir of this moment in KISStory.

The Kiss – Off The Soundboard series continues their storied legacy of groundbreaking live albums with a document of the spectacular, larger-than-life extravaganza that is a Kiss concert.
