After starting off the concert by introducing the “hottest band in the world,” KISS open the show the same way they opened their biggest selling album: with a rendition of “Detroit Rock City.” The song notably features Paul Stanley’s trademark exclamations which make the Alive series so distinctive....
[Intro: Eddie Balandas]
You wanted the best, and you got the best! The hottest band in the world: KISS!
[Verse 1]
Whoo! Hello!
I feel uptight on Saturday night
Nine o'clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song, it pulls me through
It comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to
[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City
[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
[Verse 2]
Getting late, I just can't wait
Ten o'clock, you know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car, try to make the midnight show
Let's go
[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
[Verse 3]
Move real fast, doing 95
I hit top speed, still moving much too slow
I feel so good, so alive, I'm so alive!
I hear my song playing on the radio
It goes
[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
[Verse 4]
Twelve o'clock, I gotta gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh, I know I'm gonna die
Why?
[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
