Kiss Anaheim 1976 - Black Diamond (Wide Angle)

[jnyveslbl]

Still amazing, ain't it!

I never get tired of listening to them, up to Dynasty album (I prefer studio takes though), I still discover some "little tricks" of theirs (music arrangements) here and there I have missed back then! I try hard but can't find that Rock nowadays...

[97warlock]

see, THAT was when they kicked so much ass. Go out, Play hard & take names later .......IMO Paul does a bit too much "socializing" with the audience now,which slows down the show. Unlike the old days like this.

[forbzee63]

nice collection buddy havent seen many like this great job

[LawnDarts1]

KISS at their Destroyer prime!

[Hydrefyricon]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing this...they played really well here. Seriously, who needs Kissology? This will go well with Ace's biography, not to mentions Peters. Can't wait...

[pistache7]

the mix is not bad from here.....

[DisasterBlaster500]

I can only imagine what a great time this must have been. I wish I'd been there. I was born too late! :P Oh well, at least I got to see 'em in '96 and '98 when Ace and Peter were still around. I saw them recently, but without Ace and Peter it's just not the same.

[jnyveslbl]

@DisasterBlaster500 I agree so much! After Peter left, it wasn't KiSS anymore (musically speaking). No idea how old you are but it is nice to see you lock on great music. From 1967 to 1979, it was golden age in Rock music (Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, Classic Rock). I can't get why no band have picked up from those and went on with the same style and quality.

[Tommyr]

The REAL KISS! Accept NO imitations!

[FLTlingit]

Well that was Awesome!!!

[LightningMultiBolt]

Ace made it down the steps like a pro

[5150RDH]

Awesome vid...5*s! Really gives you an idea of what it was like to see a show before the advent of jumbo-vision!

[7FlamingYouth7]

really awesome

[Deucealive75]

Kick ass stuff there.... God I love Ace's guitar work.

[Symbiotespider5]

i believe thats a epic urban legend.

[zenrunner5000]

To me this is KISS, the original and best line up. and I don't care who played with them in the 80's on up and how much better musicians they may be, this right here is the SH**!

[TNdragonslayer]

Wow!!! I was 15 years old at this concert at Angels Stadium! Was probably stoned at this point. Was an all day concert with Bob Seger, Montrose (they were awesome) I think Eddie Money, and Ted Nugent who arrived on the stage by Helicopter, he was amazing. A group named Shanana was there too but not so good. There was about 70,000 there and the scoreboards warned people not to jump when KISS was playing. It was crazy!! Monster Joints were passing thru the crowd, wow the 70's were just classic!

[SatanicMajesty]

Kiss in their glory days. The mixing desk was the best place to be. It's also where a lot of the boot leg recordings come from. The person who put this up for everyone should share more footage. He obviously has some good stuff to put out there. My oldest brother was at this concert before I was even born.

[OneGuitarDude]

Wow, even better footage of the concert that contained the largest American crowd ever for a Kiss concert. Dude, you have got to find more footage from this angle because it freckin rocks!!

[Symbiotespider5]

kiss should go back to a stage show like the destroyer era.. what they got now is cheesy technological wounder with cheap fireworks. go back to the electric towers that had lighting rigs on top, the exploding crumbling wall, the lightning bolts that shot the kiss logo, neat stuff like that.. Bring back the big gaint snake on the staff that rose from the stage.. that be cool.

[bareknuckles2u]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this!

[sln526]

Never heard that before. Would be kinda cool, tho.

[JPGR66]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[TonyBeazley]

sounds like the audio is from the aux board mix..... this is really cool vid.....

[milehighmuskie]

Wow...Ive seen this show before, but not this footage...AWESOME!!!!

[Nnora]

They are so awesome.

[electricianron66]

I have at least 150 kiss concert videos and I've seen or heard this show more than a few times, but I have never seen the full-stage version. I have the close-up "been around forever" version. Nice to see this one!

[ibmorjamn]

Wow, you tube is unbelievable. I was there as well. what a great time it was and a great time for the dawn of rock!

thanks for the vid via the way back machine by the way class of "78" kiss Alive at the forum was my first concert

[Ayiana1990]

\m/~.~\m/ Freakin Awesome Dude!!

[gibbons3458]

thanks 4 the vid. I was at this show! It was a blast!

[Chrisdrumz]

Wow! Never knew the did the N.Y.C. skyline thing in the back. Was that just this show?

[74BlackDiamond74]

They did this at every stadium show on the Destroyer tour.

[mjethen]

@74BlackDiamond74

Not to split hairs, but in the book Kiss: Alive Forever, the Complete Touring History (Curt Gooch and Jeff Suhs), the authors say that Kiss stage show "was even more exaggerated for this show; a lighting effect modeling the New York skyline was added above the main lighting rig." (p.72). They don't mention the few other stadiums on this tour.

Thanks for posting this!

[Tommyr]

Thanks for the vids Paulie!

[pitdog34]

Hope they name the next dvd set "KISSOLOGY IV The stuff we should have put on the first three sets"................ Thought the first three volumes were great, anyway.

[jorgecrazynightsmex]

I agree, but i prefer this footage for the kissology V (i hope) and kissology IV most be 2001-2008.

[skuzz]

looks like his drums didint work so great lmao

[bublrck]

kewl.

[jhg1234]

Very cool. Do you have more? I wonder why they shot it from so many different angles.

[74BlackDiamond74]

kissonlinedotcom has uploaded the whole show but I thought it might be interesting to add this to Youtube.

[jhg1234]

I meant do you have more from this angle of the show or do you just have this clip?

[74BlackDiamond74]

Only this Im afraid.

[hootenzie]
