Just to those wondering and those giving the wrong figures, the number of people that attended this concert is widely reported to have been 137,000 people or 200,000 depending on the source. It isnt 80,000 or 300,000, its one of those 2 figures above.
The cool thing in the 80's was that the classic heavy metal guys really knew how to dress up!!I mean, they all looked dressed to kill unlike these daysl!! Long hair! Cowboy boots! Tight jeans! Skinny cloth! No beard! No moustache! Nowadays in the 21st century "wanna-be" metal guys look like this: beards, baggy jeans, glasses, bald, fat....I mean, hello? That's not how heavy metal guys are supposed to look like. These days those "wanna-be" heavy metal kids just sadly don't have any style !!
@shaniafaniscam If I remember correctly, I think there were 80,000 or so.. Biggest show ever in south america at the time- biggest show they had ever played in their history
Vinny was not the first member to join before Kiss was "unmasked". Eric Carr joined in 1980. Eric was told to hide his Kiss identity for 3 yrs. Vinny didn't join until late 1982.
This concert was horrible on the Kiss Documentary DVDs. They cut out the drum solo, and in between songs, was horseshit and this was the show i wanted to see the most.
To Kissbestfan guy who said Paul was using a Gibson Explorer, sorry, it does look like an Explorer but a small cut away is on the bottom wing thats buy the neck plus if you paus and zoom in on the head of the guitar it clearly shows that it is an Explorer copy by Hamer (pronounced Hay-mer) Paul had pretty much stopped usin Gibson at this time, he used Ibanez PS-10s, B.C. Rich and Hamer, he may have still used Gibson Specials to bust up at the end of the shows though!
Rock and roll is a universal language. Brazil a speaking-portuguese country, 200.000 people singing a song in english. This is the power of rock'n'roll.
@wayneandgarth122 he has two..the one by the toms is a closed one as he uses double bass..and is hitting both bass drums so his normal hi hat would be open and sound shit...
@Bahwhe99 I heard a rumor,that goes like this:Everytime this song is played Justine Bieber and the lame wads suffer a heart stroke!So??KEEP ON PLAYING IT OVER AND OVER!!Until we nail'em all!!)Lol!!
Its a Custom Guitar Paul had made for him and its made by a company named Hamer.Its called the Hamer PS Explorer.Only two were made like this from what I know.
To pull 200,000 fans to their concert at the time where the KISS was in a steep decline is just speechless! To this day i dont think any band has played to bigger audience. Feel free to correct me if im wrong.
HEAVIEST LINE UP EVER-YOUR DAMN RIGHT ABOUT THAT!! It really is just too damn bad that PAUL AND GENE haven't figured out that people are demanding this be put out on cd as the full concert,am I right!!??
Actually it's a Hamer Explorer copy. Tiger stripe painted. You can see the head isn't a Gibson Explorer head but has 3 screws on each side. I looked it up in the Auction catalogue...
@Gecko7291971 No, it's a Custom Made PS Explorer, more similar in body shape to a Gibson Explorer and if you look closely, you'll notice that the peghead has three tuners on each side, while the Scarab has all tuners on the same side.

total capacity 330 thousand. in 1983 220 thousand total. They changed to acommodate FIFA Rules. Todays , given and Taken 90 thousand (outside field area). Other Concerts-- Rock in Rio II, Hollywood Rock, among others.
Well, I dont have K-logy Vol.2 where that concert is, but I know that their last show iin makeups was in Sao Paolo 25.6.83. The number of people, who came there varies, few sources tell, that it was 137000, others that 200000
The one in the video is recorded in Rio, not in Sao Paolo. The Maracanã is the biggest stadium of the world... with full capacity of 330,000. They changed it to less yeeeears ago, but if we consider the field level, it easily can reach 250,000. It is the official number of the stadium.
Rio was not the last one. It was Sao Paolo or Belo Horizonte.
@KISSbestfan The official number is 137 000 people in Maracana that night, but Gene says that there were 200 000 people there, maybe it was because there were lots people who didn't pay to go and see them...
yeh the brazillans are loving it im from australia u would never see 80000 thousand aussies at a kiss concert show as a much passion as they do its unreal but yeah ur right it is played too fast
