KISS - Sydney 1980 - Black Diamond

[deathmetalhippy]

Paul Stanley guitar solo is TERRIBLE....OMG lololol

[Elmer74]

This is huge. Awesome.

[Bikkiegobbler]

I was at that concert. First rock concert I ever went to. Got the tickets for my 15th birthday. Thanks for posting. Where did you get this footage from?

[TheSuperspudnik]

alright OOOOHHHHH! love that part

[TheRantingRocker]

My favorite KISS lineup doing my favorite song of theirs. doesn't get any better folks. A traditional metal classic.

[TheRantingRocker]

Eric Carr has such a diamondy voice, hard yet smooth.

[richard20bris]

This was THE BEST KISS LINEUP! Paul, Gene, Ace (sober) and Eric Carr playing the s**t out of those drums!

It's just a pity that this only lasted for about 2 1/2 years. But at least we got CREATURES out of it :-)

[Kewln00b]

@richard20bris That was actually Vinnie Vincent playing on that album. Ace actually left before that album.

[ajaxrules1975]

@richard20bris Ace Frehley sober on this tour?? Hahahaha Ace was always, i mean always drunk on this tour brother. Look for the video "KISS apresenta Eric Carr para a Australia (Legendado em português PT-BR)" ,right there Ace was drunk. Look for the famous Tom Snyder interview, there was drunk as well.

[richard20bris]

Man, now that was a GREAT performance and some GREAT quality footage! Does anyone have the rest of the concert?!

[nickcastrellon]

I get chills each time I see this. Eric Carr was such a beast on those drums and he OWNED this song better than Peter Criss or Eric Singer. AMAZING!

[nickcastrellon]

Awesome solo Paul. Damn he's good!

[MarshallDawn]

I'm sorry but some of that 'solo' at 1:24 sounded a lot like ace's tapping and then his little solo lick at 1:49

[MaddBadgerr]

3:00 paul is such a show off

[wclaurence]

Paul shows the extent of his guitar playing ability at the start of this video. And, does his best Hulk Hogan impression.

[MaddBadgerr]

@wclaurence where in the vid?

[wclaurence]

@MaddBadgerr Starting at 2:30, with his hand to his ear.

[FireboltAce]

Awesome vid love pauls little guitar solo at the beggining and Eric has the best voice for this song i love this lineup

[TheKissmaniac]

wery good

[TripperLV]

Awesome! Thanks for posting! RJ

[chiefbigbeef52]

this is definitely one of the best KISS songs in KISStory.

[firemage1986]

Dear People,

im lookin for a live recorded version of this song. can any1 tell me which one has the awesome Paul solo at the beginning? like can i find it on one of the Alive CDs?

[CGtrojans11]

the midnight special i thinmk 1975

[firemage1986]

i'll look for it, thnks very much

[tonygrimsley]

Hulkamania running wild 2:30

[ShaNaNa1973]

This Sydney show I think is their best concert on the Kissology right after the Winterland. Also I will say that this is the best show Ive seen documented so far. Ace shines on this one!

[PatNKurt1]

6:05 GOT YOU UNDER MY THUMB I love the way Eric sang that.

[StarStable]

Eric was the best drummer, but peter is the original. God bless them both. And ofc Eric Singer too 8)

[bAIRSOFTGUYd]

i miss Eric Carr so much,if there was a way,i would do anything to bring him back

R.I.P Eric Carr

[KissFanForever77]

@bAIRSOFTGUYd I met his parents, in 2003 they are nice people, and I apologized to them about Eric leaving this world. Eric, will always be in our hearts, forever and ever. Rest In Peace, Mr. Paul Charles Caravello a.k.a Eric Carr. 1950-1991

[KMH4021]

@KissFanForever77 at least he'll be with his mother because she died last year RIP

[KISSfanMONKEY]

Damn! mines sucks ass compared to yours. I recorded this same performance on TVwith a camera because i don't know any other method to put it on youtube

[Lisasfavoriter]

kiss is best in the world!! all right sydney?? you wanted the best and you got the best, the hardest band in the world KISS

[AsPizzzza]

''Hardest band in the world''

My ass, but they are sure one of the greatest bands =)

[iopunderstealth]

I thought the saying was "the hottest band in the land"

[Pumablues2525]

It is.

[brooooos9094]

that was the saying until about 1977 I think

[guitarfreak094]

KISS ROCKS MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[jplitch]
