2014

February 14:  Deal struck with Sussex County Community College to co-sponsor the Alive! '75 performances planned for November, 2014.

April:  Alive! '75 commissions construction of an exact, albeit modern replica of the iconic 1975 illuminated KISS logo.

August:  Just three months prior to showtime, Joe Gillies replaces Albert Rager as the Catman and comes aboard with an obsession to completely replicate Peter Criss' parts on Alive!.  Joe painstakingly transcribes the drum charts for every song on the album and the Band instantly recognizes the music is suddenly coming ALIVE!

November 7 & 8:  Alive! '75 brings the Alive! album "TO LIFE" in their debut performance. The event includes an immersive 1975 time-warp "pre-show" that takes attendees back in time through a combination of poster-art, audio/visual media, sights, smells and live actors depicting the period. The show is unlike any KISS Tribute show before it.  This initial engagement was to be a one-time concept show.
