  • Did Eddie van halen play on this in studio? Rumor is he did but wasn't credited. Does anyone know?

  • Whats up with paul stanley and the pink 'arm warmers'? is it some secret homo thing?

  • @adampie12 it was 1979 what do you expect skinny jeans and a beanie

  • Funny how Paul fucks up the chord and Ace looks over at him like "Who hit that wrong chord?" hahaha You're bad if Ace is wondering if you've hit the wrong note! haha Terrible tour, great song. Peter could barely play by this point...

  • @scjklp6971 Actually I thoutgh the diffrent chord Paul did was good... Hahaha

  • Love kiss,but they sound like shit here

  • I loved the Dynasty outfits. My favorite. Paul at the beginning 'Mind if I take off some of these clothes?' No not at all, take anything off you like Mr. Stanley. <3

  • Ace is in a VERY big hurry in this clip. Absolute respect for the man, no question, but he's just rushing ahead of the rest of the band.

  • Is this a tribute band to Mick and the Spiders??

  • Justin Beiber needs to redo this song!

  • Ace is so wasted that night!! XD

  • This concert was a the Capital Center in Largo Maryland. The Capital Center is no longer there...its now a shopping center...However I was 13 years old and was at this concert...It was the first time I ever saw KISS live and turned me into a KISS Army fan for life!!! I will never forget it a truly unforgetable concert then and to this day!!

  • 1:30 Aces face looks HOTT!!

    <3

  • 1:31 Aces face looks HOTT!!

    <3

  • what kind of bass is that Gene's playing? what brand & model?

  • @cciemail  I THINK it is a spector

  • @balancepiston

    I know he played a Spector later on, but I'm not sure what the one in this video is.

    Anybody else know?

  • @cciemail it looks like an Ibanez Iceman

  • @fuckyou1894

    that would be Paul's guitar. I meant Gene's bass.

  • Man, I love the beginning ACE part. But dang Paul came in terrible ouch....

  • Paul fucked up!

    

  • Wow! Paul made a major chord mistake. Ha but what fun they had ha? It was about this time that Gene and Paul were thinking on kicking certain people out?

  • I just watched Tommy doing this solo on 'Rock AM Ring'..Ugh..I had to come watch for the real feel of the song

  • Young and Powerfull!

  • Ace rules all.

  • I love the look on Ace's face when Paul starts playing the chorus part at the start of the first verse. That's rock'n roll.

  • Wow, I remember the Capitol Center in Largo, Maryland. I grew up in Annapolis and saw many concerts there. Unfortunately Kiss was not one of them. I saw them at Merriweather instead.

  • Wow, Largo, Maryland. I grew up in Annapolis and remember going to many concerts at the capitol center. Unfortunately Kiss was not one of them. I saw them at Merriweather instead.

  • Yeah a big FUCK YOU to the rock n' roll hall of shame!

  • subpar

  • kiss,need i say more

  • I love this riff! It is so simple yet very affective. Ace is the man. I never understand why people hate on KISS so bad. Say what you want...... KISS worked very hard for their spot in rock history. Fuck you rock n' roll hall of shame!

  • @dvda0616 great bands like kiss acdc and rush are still not in there but wtf madonnas in there?

  • Thats the fastest I've ever heard this song played... Fkin awesome video!!

  • I admit, I'm only a "casual" KISS fan, but I love this song!

  • this is the best i have ever heard this song

  • Ace knows there are four chords in the verse. So what if he doesn't play them in the normal order? Ha ha. Ace was sooooooooo great. He was the greatest thing KISS ever had. And Peter was next. And dumbass Gene let them both get away.

  • LOL...Ace is fuckin' hammerd

  • @kingfucter yea but gives a kick ass solo

  • 1:17 Epic!

    Ace backing is perfect!

  • @Mssmaimone do you know why there is so much Largo footage? Seems like there is more than any other footage.

  • @kingfucter Don't know the why of this fact, but they played a lot in Largo in the 70's., maybe is because of this, I think almost ever tour they've done, except the Club Tour, had at least one show at Largo (every tour in the 70's). And I think these shows are the best, specially the 1977 show, that night Peter Criss ruled!

  • @Mssmaimone My guess the location of 'Largo, MD' is a misnomer because they are probably referring to a large indoors sports venue previously known as US Air Arena-google it- which is/was used for music shows-including KISS but it's actually located in Landover,MD,which is a few miles north of Largo, MD. It's got similar build/capacity to Madison Square Garden,NYC. Also, it's just outside the Capitol Beltway,bordering the District,so it caters to the whole Washington D.C. area.

  • @egyptianminor Well, think you're right. Actually, you can explain it better, because I'm Brazilian, so my answer wasn't so sure! Haha!

  • EAT-D

    CREAM-E

    COOK-E

  • If you hate kiss dont watch the freaking videos i mean relly ur only doing this to rat on the band

  • I hate Paul's jacket. The glitter jacket from the Unmasked tour(As well as the jacket he usually wears) was better.

  • paul fucked up did u see ace look back

  • these guys are my inspiration... if you like unique KISS bits and skits like this, you have to check out Pal Stanley's Rock Show right here on youtube... you can also follow me on facebook. Just look up Pal Stanley and "friend" me

  • Gene looks pissed off!!!

  • Man,I don't care if I was in this band only making one million per year,while the others made $10 Million...I'm on top of the world....If you're the number #1 band in the world, how in the heck ya going do any better...~~> Peter/Ace.

  • that was awsome...ja ja Ace starts with high speed but Peter goes insane...and paul can get it

  • KISS is my favorite band ever and I love them...they are amazing live, better than in the studio actually...but this is an awful performance by them honestly, way too fast and rushed by all the members....

  • I went to a. Concert and they were good

  • gene simmons voince is sooooooo cool

  • ..."Your not the only one I've ever had"...

  • WOW! they really suck live.

  • @shermpinkstaff This isnt the right video to judge them by. I strongly recommend you watch the Dr Love from Largo two years before this one, it's WAY better

  • oh my... Ace....destroyed by the excess

  • @mandrocker wtf do u mean?

    the opening? It was Paul that fucekd it up you can see Ace looking at him with the disgusted face!!

  • @Death2RockwayMiddle

    I was not talking bout the music, just about how he looked like..Those were tough years for him .. not very present on the songwriting with the bands etc etc ;)

  • whats with aces voice?! and why does peter criss doesnt sing the "DR LOVE" with paul?!

  • what an EMBARRASSING VOCCAL EFFORT

  • @shane69999 learn how to spell first retard... and tell your mom i said hi...

    I still owe her 7 bucks.

  • @CatboxDesign XDXDXDXDXD

  • @CatboxDesign

    i spellt it likke thatt on porppose... idiot.

    Regarding monies owed ... you can keep it ... my mom said you were in need of performance enhancement , i figured you'd need the money lest you come up with another poor performance. Oh i saw your picture with the dwarf......... oh it's your mumm....( what you were doing is illegal)... its clear you have thing for mums

  • it seems like all they wanted to do is get the show over with.

  • @commandergree119

    it seems thats what the crowd wants too... ive seen them........... hurry up... where is Aerosmth

  • Thats NOT ACE.

    Gene Simmons sounds like shit............. what an embarrassing vocal effort

    Dont you think????

    Im starting a movement to have Paul stanley replaced... he's very old now and cant hit the notes anymore. I want to have WIG WAM' singer replace him.......... lets all call for paul to be fired.............. paul out .... wig wam in!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  • @shane69999

    That IS Ace, you idiot.

  • @Waldenpunk

    Its not, it's his guitar tech... i'm sure

  • @shane69999 Fuck you!!

    Don't you dare say that to  the world best rocksinger EVER!!

  • @KissFan1997

    hey geney baby! you r the worst singerrr ive ever heard... you need to be sacked along with paul and replaced wit new guys. Like youre talking of doing.All i wantis for you to bring this date farwar, you leave the band and new killer voices to be installed into kiss.

  • @shane69999 You don't gonna say anything, Paul Stanley is WAAAAAAAAAYY better then u are !!

  • Im obviously having an internal struggle with how I feel about this version at the moment.

  • Ace has a really good voice

  • @MrStarwarsfan4ever his skills with a guitar rock!

  • Tight!

  • wow this is horrible

  • @SouthSideLocos33 shut up and go back to bieberland

  • @SouthSideLocos33 Ur comment is HORRIBLE,

  • everybodys doing it so ill say it. 14 justin bieber fans got scared because they just heard the best of the best play

  • are kiss better now then back then? i'd say so! sure their voices aren't as awesome, but the show and the music and of course the singing is great! kiss will always rule the world!

  • Lol i love how Ace notices that paul messed up in the begging and looks at him

  • @rossrules6869 : yes that is hilarious Ace looks over and is like WTF? And yes I was a young teen right at the height of the hype, like 1974-77 and at that time, love 'em or hate 'em, it was about the biggest show when it rolled through town, insane. This clip is a little after that time, Ace is cooked for sure and if it is Peter Criss on the drums his days were numbered, too. Ah, youth. :)

  • Unless you actually were around in the 1970's, you will never comprehend how bigger than life this band really was. I saw them as a kid in 1977 and it was the absolute most insane concert I have ever been to. The crowd reaction was indescribable. Their stage set and effects on this tour was bigger than an amusement park.

    There is no greater present day nostalgic feeling in music, than when I come across an old KISS LP from this time period.

  • this is kinda bad.... but hey, kiss rules!

  • As musicians, KISS is horrible. They've managed to make it though

  • @laxmam lol lets see your srry ass do better

  • @laxmam Actually, they're average and they even admit it. It's rock and roll, not opera or philharmonic crap after all.

  • @laxmam So what if they're not the best musicians? Kiss still made the best music of all time, so shut up. "They made it through"? haha...

  • @laxmam what like justin bieber rocks? THINK AGAIN!!

  • @laxmam

    yes, thanks in no small part to their kiss dolls, lunch boxes and a million other kiss uranus toys. Talentless, superior business men, and all round girly boys

  • Comment removed

  • whats up with genes sex offender facials?.....in radioactive he looks like a creep too.

  • To anybody who wants to rag on KISS, let's do an experiement. Compare how much money YOUR fans paid to see YOU play and to buy your records vs. how much money KISS's fans paid to see THEM play and buy THEIR records. That should put an end to the ragging. Fucking idiots.

  • damn listen to this at 1:10-1:16, sounds like shit. way out of key.

  • @ClassicRockfan79 Yeah paul kinda ate it the for a second

  • Lord I want to go back to '76 and stay there

  • @40Rtruss

    GO, who fukkin needs you??

  • @40Rtruss

    Go who fukkin needs you??? piss off

  • Mimes meet NY dolls = ?

  • hahah KISS-- the good ol "Clown Of Rock N' Roll"

  • Ace is a Howler Monkey to Jimmy Page is a Upward looking tourist

  • this is from the alive II ?

  • @NegativeScoffKurdt

    No...this was recorded in1979 and Alive II is from 1977

    Alive II was recorded at the Los Angeles Forum in 26-28 August 1977

  • @Jellyboy20 ohh thanks i just tought it ´cause Paul says the same at alive II (:

  • Kiss is an influential band no doubt bu not because of their music...their image and the way they sold th label of kiss Is influential. If u want a band that is influential because of music check led Zeppelin, rolling stones, the beetles, cream, and black sabbath. Those r bands that can play.

  • @21brutusbrad you do have a point but kiss's music is pretty good you gotta give me that at least

  • Great Dynasty footage!  Thanks!

  • Didn't now they play'd this song ad Dynasty tour!

    Awesome!

  • Motley Cruemis the GREATEST band to EVER EVER EVER walk the earth!

  • You know i have seen arguments on vids that bands like metallica or slayer are the best well I am here to say that KISS is truly the greatest band to ever walk the fucking planet we call earth

  • @MrSeventhplague they r good...but not the best

  • i hate the Beatles

  • and i hate you.

  • @urgaytreo screw you!

  • BtwBenjifag, have a q for you.

    How many albums have you sold?

    How many arena have you filled?

    Shit, I'll bet you couldn't find a G string if one came up and flossed your ass.

  • Yeah, Paul was the one who fucked up. Ace looked a bit pissed when he looked over in his direction.

  • I think that it's Paul who fucked up the beginning

  • Something did seem off at the start, but Ace blew that solo out of the water.

  • Yeah man Ace made up for it on the solo lol

  • Ik don't ever try to compare benjamin to kiss no other band will ever be like kiss kiss will always be amazing and they will never di I have listened to kiss since I was 6 iam 16 now and my taste has never changed kiss will have an impact on every body for years to come

  • Fastest I've ever heard this song.

  • @selatik1 If u think this is fast? Check out Kiss Rio 1983. Calling Dr Love is just a bit faster than this version. I like both though, It's different.

  • @selatik1 The drummer being coked out of face will do that...

  • @selatik1 yeah dude totally agree

  • this band freaks me out

  • did ace have a guitar problem at the begining of the song? like a wrong note was played and then he looked back at someone but idk who.

  • Love this concert footage! This tour and Love Gun are my abosolute favorites to watch! Dynasty costume is though for some reason my favorite...I think it's because how hot Paul looks in his lmao they need to put this onto the next KISSology dvd if they make another that is and hopefully they do lol

  • @Inuyashafan5677

    already one in the works for after the reunion tour w/ ace and peter through the Alive 35 tour so it'll porbably be out in like a yr, yr and a half

  • know why they wore make up and dressed up.

    cause they sucked!

  • @biomansoil If they sucked then how come they got millions of fans all around the world and get sold out concerts still? If they sucked then they wouldn't get as much attention as they do and have crazy ass fans (like me) who are influenced by them every single day? You probably wouldn't know good music if it bit you on the ass! Leave your rude comments to yourself and let us KISS Army members be since we all know that we're right and your wrong :P

  • ha ha! they were and are crappy, the only gimic you were attracted to was the make up, that got me at first as well, but it faded and just left a bad taste in my mouth. hey if you like shitty music then good for you. sorry to hear there might be millions of others like yourself. I guess they too didn't grow up.

  • @biomansoil No actually i'm attracted to Paul Stanley because he's super hot :P

    But, there music is amazing and I don't know how you could say they suck. I'm 16 and think that KISS is better then any other band out there, oh i'm a girl to so to see that because of my age and since mostly KISS appeals to males because of there music. I've actually gotten my friends into KISS, so then how could KISS suck if i've gotten my FEMALE friends into them who mostly like rap and such?

  • well I was into them when I was young as well.

    your taste will change.

    how about Stained or crossfade breaking benjaman or even chevelle? those are good bands. much better than kiss atleast.

    of coarse opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and most stink!

  • @biomansoil I've listened to Breaking Benjamin and there...ok, when it comes to now in day artist i'm more for like All-American Rejects, Marilyn Manson, Boys Like Girls and I use to like The Jonas Brothers but, i'm WAY over them. I listen to all kinds of music 'cept for rap. But, I rarely listen to now in day artist, i'm more for music from the mid 50s till early 90s

  • @Inuyashafan5677

    im glad you realized the jonas brothers are shitty =)

  • the taste won't change i guarantee that

    sorry for bad eng

  • @biomansoil

    why would you look up a kiss video to say that? grow up. please and thanks.

  • yeah KISS goes HD 1080p!!!! XD

  • Thanks for that video!!!

  • this is brilliant... you're all twats and not real fans

  • are you ready to rock and roll!!!! hahaha what a good laugh, but i would have loved to be there stoned with a plain jane white chick who wanted to just fuck all night after the gig.

  • I was at this concert in 79... AC/DC opened up... thanks so much for whoever posted this video....

  • @CatboxDesign Omg I envy you!! lol I am always watching this concert it's one of my favs. I got to see KISS last year at the Verizon Center but, I wish I could have seen um back then when Ace and Peter were still in the band. Though I like Tommy and Eric but, it's just not the same without Ace or Peter :(

  • Kiss is the king of Hard Rock

  • OMG, I LOVE THIS SONG, and to all fags who think that kiss are gay: YOU ARE GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i no everyone plays faster in concert, but i prefer this at normal speed.

  • Great tune- too bad they played it way to fast and screwed the begining up

  • I just cant comprehend how someone can possibly insult KISS

  • @gdawgs101 there AWESOME

  • Capital Centre 1978 senior in High school one of the few black guys at the show. Then our team won the championship great year.

  • remember gene is college educated, a teacher with a bachelor degree, who taught music. Perhapse his base playing skill goes far beyond what you hear him playing, but he realizes the importance of playing what the song needs aposed to showing off to prove he's great

  • i learned sonething today. thank you.

  • Yup, I am amongst the generation that was warped by these guys, lol:-)!

  • just think, this was the heaviest kid music of all time. this is when they were selling dolls and lunchboxes. there was a lot of kids under 10 at these shows

  • He's cuter now then he was then, screw

    the bass!!

  • Comment removed

  • ace!

  • Wow, I can't believe how many people rant about KISS not being able to play, or not being as good as Rush, or Tool, or any of the other 'we know so much about music we can't play a simple A chord and not get bored." To all of those that say KISS sucks because they're not technically the best, I say... A giant E chord thumpin up your ass will always kill anything Geddy Lee could do with his Keyboards, or his washing machines.

  • hey man, why you trashin on rush? if your gonna talk shit make sure the band of which your speaking actually sucks!!!!!! rush can play, and kiss can play, so KEEP YOUR BULLSHIT TO YOURSELF!!!!!!!

  • what the fuck is he wearing?

  • you get your moneys worth either your a fan or your not?

  • Compared to The Who, Kiss is a friggin' terrible live band. Wow, just awful

  • they are'nt terrible live at all just little clumsy when they're playing so shut up!

  • they were all stage show, asshole. not musicians even by a stretch unless you mean ace, who was badass. they couldnt hold a candle to rush, elo or any other real band of the era.

  • first thing, if they were only stage show, why would they have sold millions of albums worldwide, if you can't see them playing only listen? second thing, man, i respect your opinion, but everybody is tired of hearing this crap about'em, 'cause we all know that they play concerts only for money, and hey, if you earned the money that they do, wouldn't you do the same?

  • you are right

  • I agree to a certain extent. However, KISS is no worse than Creed or any of today's hottest bands. Creed charged 85 bucks for tix, bottom level. I payed 45 to see KISS. Not to mention they're true to there word. Every single dime I payed, I got back fully. KISS is like a musical circus. But contrary to the beliefs of certain IDIOTS, they are musicians. Go listen to Gene's bass runs and see if you can play em CVH.

  • i can play any bass line easily that simmons can play, except that dumbass "solo" he plays, because even he just makes the shit up. He is among the least talented bass players of all time.

  • bitch you cant play shit, simmons sucks on bass but he had the stage persona, so i give him his props on that shit. he aint shit on bass and i can play them shits on bass
