KISS IN SWEDEN 1983 … THE TV APPEARANCES!

In November 1983 Kiss came to Sweden on their ”Lick it Up” tour for 3 concerts. They appeared on at least 4 TV shows with shorter interviews (see down below). Most of them starts with a host that speaks in Swedish, but of course the interviews are then made in English (… probably an unnecessary remark).

Personally this was a huge thing for me, since I was 10 years old and had just discovered the band the year before. I had these interviews on VHS tape and watched them over and over again. My dad promised to take me to the Stockholm concert, which he then never did and til this day I have never forgiven him for it! Who said I wasn't resentful and couldn’t hold a grudge 😂

The Swedish concerts in 1983:
November 18 - Scandinavium, Gothenburg, Sweden
November 19 - Isstadion, Stockholm, Sweden
November 20 - Ishallen, Malmö, Sweden
