Coming on April 7th in Kiss’ ongoing “Off The Soundboard” archival series is Live In Poughkeepsie 1984. The custom, mustard yellow double-LP set features one of only two full concerts guitarist Mark St. John ever played with the band. The November 28th, 1984 Animalize tour show from the Mid-Hudson Civic Arena in Poughkeepsie, New York comes only weeks before St. John was permanently replaced by Bruce Kulick on December 8th, 1984.
Mark St. John, who replaced Vinnie Vincent and played on 1984’s Animalize, developed reactive arthritis and although toured with the band — stood off-stage while his understudy — longtime Kiss associate Bruce Kulick actually played all but two-and-half of the tour’s eventual 119-date tour.
