Context
The Unmasked Tour introduced Eric Carr to audiences after Peter Criss left. Alongside Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley, the drummer took part in the 1980 Australian visit. The Sydney Showground recording corresponds to the November 22 performance documented on Kissology Volume Two.
Detroit Rock City opens the sequence, which includes three tracks from Unmasked: Shandi, Talk to Me and Is That You?. Ace also sings 2000 Man and New York Groove, widening his space in the set. Eric's solo comes before the final stretch of God of Thunder, while Paul gets an individual spot before Black Diamond.
The edit shows recent material, 1970s classics and songs associated with Ace living side by side. The timestamps come from a pinned comment on the upload itself. The set and the date were checked against the concert catalog and the Kissology announcement, keeping the link between the Australian performance and its later DVD release.
