Kiss Cobo Hall Detroit 1977 - Backstage

[tanukiss52]

paul...what a sexy man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MixxMasterKid]

The song is I love you baby - Jeff Beck

[jody8526937]

The music that you hear in the background is what was being played over the PA before the start of the concert. I was at this show. Actually this was one night of three shows. I think the date was late January, 1977? I was in the audience on the third night of this tour and the previous year, Alive" tour. I can't express how great it was. The next year, 78 they played Olympia stadium and the year after, 1979 was the big Pontiac Silverdome show with Cheap Trick and some other band.

[vee863]

@jody8526937 was @ all the shows!! Uriah Heep was the other band!

[TheMullerFan]

Great song. Ace is god

[mikenobeardthepirate]

I saw this tour in Southern California.....and it was as AWESOME as you can imagine it was and so ,,,so much more !

[The6thSimpson]

Why is the jeff beck song playing over? Did it play when this was shown for the actual gig?

[LisaBaby67]

Man, I wanted to see this concert. I was only 10 then, though. I didn't see them for another 2 years.

[RCshortstop10]

@LisaBaby67 I know what you mean Id kill to see this tour. Too bad it was 19 years before I was born

[MrLemmy2000]

@RCshortstop10 Don't worry I saw kiss in 1977 when I was 9 don't remember much because I was on ground floor(stand up seats) and i wasn't tall enouph to enjoy. I wish I was like 17 in the balcony seats. I did see them in 96 on the balcony good show on the reiunion tour

[syntasticfan]

XD the pineapple

[ColtsFan1818]

little did they know this would be one of the most famous concerts of all time

[97warlock]

oh....."In Hopes of"  well, that makes more sense.

[97warlock]

Too bad they played cheesy muic in the beginning over the peoples talking.  wouldve been cool

[Obelisk2290]

@97warlock Paul wrote hard luck woam in hopes of giving it to rod stewart rod is awesome

[KevinRichard87]

What is the name of the song in the background?

[CosmicSoulMaestro]

@KevinRichard87 the song is Let Me Love You by the Jeff Beck Group - and in case u wonder ... yes that's Rod Stweart on lead vocals. NOTE: After The Yardbirds split Jeff Beck preferd Rod Stewart on vocals where as Jimmy Page wanted to use Robert Plant - hence Jeff Beck Group formed and Led Zeppelin formed seperately - initially Beck and Page were gonna start a new group together. Cheers!

[CosmicSoulMaestro]

@KevinRichard87 i love the bass on the song it even sounds like gene is playing it on that black studded LoBue bass. luuurv it.

[1976kissfanforever1]

I have the movie "Detriot Rock City"......and it had to do with this concert.........and that is pretty cool

[ChokeslamKing]

if i was those kids idv probly shit myself wif excitement! lol!

[SpicyTaco29]

rofl is ace holding a space bear? XD i need to get me one of those. i lub that guy. he wins.

[bazou136]

Oooh my godd! Paul is so sexy . And Ace rocks

[deuce1231]

My biggest problem with the new album isn't really aproblem, but more of a strange observation. See, he's finally recording Sister for an album release. I have about 10 different demo versions of that song already, and I remember when it was reported as a new song in Ace's set prior to the Reunion. So it's almost funny to see Ace recording and releasing a song he wrote in excess of 15 years ago. Almost funny, because it's actually NOT a bad tune. I just have 10 demos of the song alrready!!

[jcgm97]

There aren't TEN different demos of "Sister",

[smackythefrog23]

i think ace was working on that stuff for that long, mainly cause he was having such troubles staying sober, and dealing with the reunion tour and so forth, that probably KISS as an organization had a ban on outside stuff while KISS is going. Im just glad that Ace is still rocking as well as in his KISS era prime, 74-77. anomaly is that solid.

[OrangeSFO]

the best feature of this 119 second video is that a full 70 seconds at the end are pitch black. Good post!

[imagesk8r6969]

Gene Simmons is a BEAST!!! haha KISS is fuckin awesome... i cant believe that was 32 years ago..(im only 15).... [~:

[swishersweets2008]

gene simmons is just a shadow of himself nowdays. but i agree in the 70s he was a beast. same goes for the other three as well. kiss's best days are past them. now its about the nostalgia.

[judah1227]

what song was that playing in the background?

[missionaryridge]

Its Rod Stewart. Whether it is when Rod was with the Small Faces or in Jeff Beck Group I cannot say.

[idkdrum71]

The song is Let Me Love You by the Jeff Beck Group. It's on the Truth album.

[Reozren]

if this is 1977, why dont they have ther Love gun outfits?

[KARFan]

Because that's Rock And Roll Over tour.Love Gun tour started couple of months later.

[SopeRo111]

[swishersweets2008]

[laragunner123]

At 0:31 what is ace holding?

his guitar and the famous "space bear" ??

[AceFrehleysParasite]

SPACE BEAR =]..

[deuce1231]

Space Bear was a joke on the Tom Snyer show in 1979, well over 2 years after this clip was filmed.

[thunderstruck665]

There's going to be a track on Ace's new album called Space Bear and a bonus track called The Return of Space Bear. Can't wait for it to come out!

[uwish9999]

[74BlackDiamond74]

Thanks!

[dhjmasa]

What did they pick up from that table?

[74BlackDiamond74]

Ace picked up a pineapple and I think Paul got a toothpick.

[19KISS69]

wot about the uk? they never seem to come here.

[kataboy]

They dont come to The UK anymore because they had alot of trouble selling tickets for the last tour thay did. Apparently the promoters have got burned by KISS a few times to many. Gene said that due to the fact they would only sell enough tickets for 1 show it would be to expensive to ship everything from the main land. Makes sence to me!! What gets me is that they tourded extensivly in the eighties with the crappy Animalize and Crazy Nights tours. Maybe thats what killed them...

[mrdreamwhip]

the 80's were the re-birth of the band... make-up gone and a whole new life for them... the band had to keep touring or it would have ended for sure. they needed money too...

[GREENDATE]

i hope kiss do a world tour next year

[vanhalenforever1]

they are Tommy Thayer confirmed it, and when Tommy says something is going to happen IT'S going to happen.

[74BlackDiamond74]

Paul said the other day that Kiss are doing an Australian tour in March 08 :D

[GREENDATE]

[74BlackDiamond74]
