pretty clever when Gene moves into that melodic bass riff when they start the 2nd verse...that always impressed the hell out of me...pulled me right in.
Paul has the best voice in rock n roll history. Allthough kiss is reconized as one of the greatest bands, Paul hasnt gotten the credit he deserves for his vocal abiliities.....His range is just incredable. So much power and soul in his singing.....................
@nederlanderbk I guess is a matter of preference. I like PC's raspy voice and Gene's growl. I think Paul sounds much better on studio tracks than live.
This Is Suppossed To Be A Master Tape, Firehouse Is TOTALLY RUINED BY THE CAMERO GOING CRAZYAND FUCKING UP Especially It's Special When Gene Blows 2 bLasts Of Fire More Intense Of An Ending !!
Kiss Alive, ..... one of the first albums i pilfered from my two older brothers, they had recently seen them open for Uriah Heep. Damn near wore the grooves of that bitch. Ended up buying it on cassette and cd ... raw, gritty ..... damn near perfect live rock-n-roll ....
@sagginepari Ha ha, that's awesome! I dressed up as Gene Simmons for Halloween 94' which was my senior year in high school. The only person who knew I was dressing up was my friend Mike who dressed up as Ace. Most of my class mates didn't know it was me until I talked to them. Then that night I saw the Rolling Stones at the Oakland Coliseum. I can honestly say that was probably the best day of my life, even better than the day I got married.
Every time I think I've given up on this band entirely--usually when I see Gene shilling anything he can for money these days--I see something like this. And I'm 12 years old again, just in awe of this band! Ace...Paul...Peter...Gene. They were *my* Beatles.
It was basically because of Gene Simons and the costume he wore. He used to spit out blood (probablyl was really something else) and stuck is tongue out real far, thats supposed to be some kinda devlish thing, supposed to mean something. Of course with his makeup and outfit, he looked like some kind of demon too.
the Bass Gene is using is a Gibson Grabber. the Biggest difference between a grabber and a Ripper is the headstock. A ripper has a les paul like headstock and a grabber has a Flying V type headstock.
According to the Kissology Vol. 1 booklet, they had three tapes of Kiss in Winterland throughout the 70s. And then there was a fire that destroyed most of the taped concerts filmed at Winterland. So to today this is the only Winterland concert of KISS available. I would have wanted to see the other two though.
fuck i'm glad i grew up in the70's....

@01po01po Thats a stretch, man. First off, Gene and Peter sing better than Paul in Kiss. And not to mention all the great voices in rock.

Whenever someone tries to do what they do not, the result is awful.
This was true of camera man who committed a "wonder" of losing Gene Simmons spitting fire twice.

In that era Simmons was alternating between a Gibson Ripper and a Grabber, so it's one or the other.
