Kiss Winterland Concert Watching You

[cobias]

Kiss - 73-77 KICKED ASS ! Kiss, hotter than hell, Dressed to kill, Alive !, Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over.

Love gun had bad Production...thin sounding. Dynasty was alright. Creatures was pretty good. Early 70's they were their best though !

[jammerholic]

Shared facebook!back to my cghildhood!Love it Kiss made me the rock Icon I've become today

[wickedcurve]

Whoever recorded this as it was happening...THANK YOU!!

[MrPhromsombath]

Wow Gene has a voice, unlike what he sounds like nowadays

[Gerkinstock]

@MrPhromsombath... And look how skinny he was. Much freakier looking.

[johnnyw12]

Kiss They were hungry and on fire!!

[METALIZE1]

I've seen just about everything when it comes to video of KISS and to me this was one of their best live shows ever, maybe the best!

[themelimouse7]

ace ♥

[AngelofAnguish]

So THIS is what this concert is, huh? Kiss Winterland concert 1975. On the back of the first KISSology DVD set, it said "Winterland concert 1975." Unfortunately, I had NO IDEA what that meant-UNTIL NOW! Thanks to YouTube, I, NOW, KNOW! F**k today's Grammys, the American "Music" Awards, Super Bowl halftime "entertainment," and other shows that feature live "entertainment!" In my opinion, '70s KISS levels them ALL!

[CrazyNights14]

@AngelofAnguish LOL, yeah the Super Bowl halftime had been sucking for a while already, specially this year. That was a f****** offense to music.

[GraciaMatt]

Zero dislikes thats how it should be

[TonyBeazley]

Metal KISS ....love it!!

[TheAntman1265]

One of the best heavy Kiss songs. and Peter Criss just kills in this song.Brilliant druming all over this tune. He was truly underrated.

[URturn2njoy]

Ace looks so cool and in his element. His grooving, his Taurus artistic sensibilities. They all look like they are enjoying themselves! Later in the KISS saga we find it has become some corporate thing. But this is the when they were still struggling artists.

[swanker63]

Awesome!!!!

[nd631]

KISS is the best!

[razamanaz90]

when KISS kicked ass

[7FlamingYouth7]

Gene cuts his nose LOL

[sjdss]

what does the guy at 6:42 say? ace was awesome back in the day no one at his age now is as good when you were hungry even eddie vh or clapton are not  as good at their ages now as back when thats natural you have a peak at some point aces ability peak was around 1988 or so

[spudnutsncoffee]

For the record, I think Peter is truly a superb drummer. He is old school, in the tradition of Gene Krupa.

[pleximanic]

Peter is the most underrated drummers

in rock history!

It's really sad that the drugs messed up his time!

[vonvlad]

WOW. If anyone notices...well 1st off the 1st Van Halen album came out in 77. And Eddie claims that he was the 1st to ever tap on a guitar neck. I'm not trying to take anything away from EVH, he totally changed guitar when there was nothing going on. But clearly ACE is tapping on the neck in his solo!!!

[batto092]

@vonvlad:- eddie never claimed to invent it. "I think I got the idea of tapping watching Jimmy Page do his "Heartbreaker" solo back in 1971. He was doing a pull-off to an open string, and I thought wait a minute, open string ... pull off. I can do that, but what if I use my finger as the nut and move it around?" ... I just kind of took it and ran with it." there's heaps earlier stuff too, just gotta look into it.

[bdorough]

WOW...If you notice, even back in 1975 it was all about Gene & Paul...the only reason Ace is in the video at the end is because he was soloing...and it just so happens that Peter's drumset is in the middle of the stage...

[batto092]

yeah man, thats one thing that gives me a shit about the old stuff. it always has gene and paul on camera. barely any ace or peter

[GOORVY]

@batto092 well, however ace at the first tours prefer to be out of lights, and at one side of the drums, he was really shy, well he still is

[batto092]

@GOORVY yeah i know, but it wouldve been nice to see the man doing what he does best haha

[krollaostmedburger]

@GOORVY thats why he was drinking so much alcohol

[mrspeed41]

Gene and Paul are the lead singer of the band...thats why the cameras are always on them...simple!

[spudnutsncoffee]

@mrspeed41 Bingo. Every band has a front man...or in this case two front men. FOr the record, all of the concert footage from this era features all for members of the band. Otherwise, how would Ace and Peter have the following they have til this very day, and their popularity as icons continues to grow. So, lay off Gene and Paul, all you haters!

[CF1975]

Brilliant song: I can imagine they really had balls back then. They probably see themselves more as a commercial product than as a actual rock band, Too bad: their 70's material was great.

[Gurra88]

Isn't the riff at 3:27 the same riff from "Let me know"? Why is it played in this song?

[ExlRocker]

is just part of the show... on the alive album they do the same thing but in the song "She"... i think so... :)

[flyman]

eddie van halen scored the tapping off of Ace man.......

[southplnk]

fuck eddie van halen

[SyClopps]

Wow! Ace was tapping in 1975 5:16 !

[STARCHILD180]

This has to be one of Ace's most incredible solo's

lol it's so hard to choose a favorite out of Kiss

but it is Paul for me rofl I so can't wait to meet Ace in brisbane on the 21st!

[ColdfireGuitar]

the hottest band in the world KISS!!! this riff is more than cool !

[yeahsee33]

Their first two albums are the best. First three maybe. They stopped being cool for me after Creatures of the Night.

[bufralo]

Yeah, I think "hotter than hell" is their best record, their most hard rock album!

[emptyandgray]

Creatures was their 10th album.

Kiss, Hotter Than Hell , Dressed to Kill, Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, Love Gun, the Solo Albums, Dynasty, Unmasked, and Music from "The Elder" all came before Creatures.

[yeahsee33]

I know that. I'm just saying after Creatures the music changed as well as the image.

[BigBozSicenunow]

Ya speak for alot of people!

[BigBozSicenunow]

Yeah credible point

[Obelisk2290]

back then they concentrated more on the performance than the production. Budget was the rule then

[BigBozSicenunow]

Good point Obelisk2290,thats what missing nowadays!!!

[Jamnjukebox]

Ace was sooo great then.

[Cannibal600]

Ace is one of the best guitar players ever!!!!

[johnny10301968]

[spernoadversa]
