KISS - New Orleans - December 4, 1976 - Part 1 of 3

[97warlock]

They were kickin ass .and not even Bothering to take names, then on to the next city to do it even better. Was they cool or what. The Mighty Zep couldnt match this live. Zep was awesome,but KISS were the new breed, & the best!

[tommytrixter]

this is my fav period of kiss,after alive but before alive 2or rock n roll over era/tour.magical/amazing the original kiss was.no wonder they ruled at that time.no one could touch them,no one..

[carolshewolf]

I was there tickets were $7.50 Lol Those were the days

[MetalHeart8787]

wow if you filmed this its good you did, you must be one of the first people to sneak in a video recorder, im sure they weren't checking for those back then.

how much was the camera back then? & how much were kiss concert tickets back in 1975-78?

[JENDALL714]

I wish there was footage of the few shows that used the Frankenstein Strickfadden machine, they used it only few times because they found how dangerous it was. There must be footage some where of these shows.

[metalmark2112]

at this point in there career, NOBODY could touch them

[lordzaphodbeeb]

Awww man, thanks for posting this. I was 12 when they played New Orleans in 76'. My parents wouldn't let me to go. My mother told me I couldn't see them till I was 18, so I had to wait till they did the Creatures show in the Superdome, Mardi Gras 1983. I think this concert was at the Municipal Auditorium. Great post.

Man, that was a hungry, give it all, leave it on the stage, band. Nothing compares.

[BlackDiamond1967]

Nobody moves at age 60 like they did at age 26.

KISS still puts on the best show out there.

[97warlock]

I wish they could get out there & put ona show with this kind of enthusiasm & energy. and Screw the Big screen crap, Whats a Kiss show without the Enourmous Logo & a stagefull of dry ice.

[lsunationalchamps08]

[rizzlaxl]

[tomcunha]

I was born on december 4th ten years later...

[southplnk]

i want proof

[holtzendorf]

I saw them on december 4th 2009 in Austin kinda cool with the dates :)

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

How the heck did you get this? i was into Kiss in these years and never saw this. Very cool footage.

[WINFIELD120]

ACE = BOOZE = GOD

[jesheris]

This is bad-ass....so exciting to see a true bootleg from this era

[jleftyy]

Rock n Roll over was their peak. They screwed up by not releasing Mr Speed. It was all down hill from here.

[01po01po]

@jleftyy I agree, Mr Speed was a great song that has long been forgotten.

[dimebagdave77]

this is great!so much energy!and pretty tight.

[leonidaschrisoulis]

this is probably the best bootleg i ever seen................toptac is right if gene had all these bootlegs he would have riped us apart ,,,,,,,,,,,,you no what i mean

[tomcunha]

Exatamente 10 anos antes de eu nascer!

Bem raro o vídeo!

[sjdss]

they should have stayed like 72-75

[kissed61]

I agree,Destroyer was the start of a sttep decline

[TOPTACO]

gene does NOT WANT YOU TO SEE THIS!!!!! unless you pay him.

[Hydrefyricon]

This is the shit. Much more interesting than anything on Kissology, whose has been old hat for years. Thank god for you tube and the free(downloads!)world.

[UofL93]

yes all recorded live...

[Sirscorps]

How much of this gig exists?????

[kiss8mmfilms]

All 3 parts of our video of this concert on youtube is everything known to exist on video from this show. We posted everything.

[Sirscorps]

Thank you for the info. I've been collecting Kiss (most is pre Reunion & mostly make up era.)

[HiOctane62]

@kiss8mmfilms it sounds kinda crappy.

[GeetarLuvah999]

Great post... What a great band they were back then... Great playing, chemisty, tone, showmanship, and the tunes.. never forget how awesome the tunes were! Saw them in LA Wednesday.. Great show! I miss Ace and Peter, but they still rock balls baby..

[sagedrummer]

WOW, what a great find!!! Hope people keep sending in 8MM film, this stuff is priceless!!! Thanks

[jvflexx]

KISS IN THEIR PRIME PRIME!!!!

[montelinus]

kiss should release a real live album not like the studio created crap like alive III

[sweetpain8277]

dude, alive III is like the only one that's not studio created. all of the tracks were recorded live.  but whatever, all three alives kick ass!!

[WINFIELD120]

I have the stoned in paris bootleg......and yes there are a few mistakes but not enough to make them sound bad. Kiss and all the alives werent made in the studio. Maybe touched up but thats all

[Hydrefyricon]

This is the shit...much more interesting than Shitology I-III.

[Lovegunner1]

Awesome video! Can't wait to see what surfaces next.

[redrocker1973]

this show is great! i just wish who ever filmed it would have filmed them doing 'hard luck woman' ,this was one of the few shows were they played it.

[catherinewheels11]

they played Hard Luck Woman live? you sure?

[Sirscorps]

Or "Tomorrow & Tonight." "I Want You" is from a soundcheck. The real version is on the box set.

[JPGR66]

They never played hard luck women live.

what you here on alive II is a fake "live" studio recording.

[kiss8mmfilms]

they did play hard luck woman live for the first few shows of the rock and roll over tour - of which this was one of those shows. The filmer never taped any footage of hard luck woman, sadly... Would have been amazing to see

[pornkingltd]

@kiss8mmfilms I have audio tapes of kiss in 74/75/, but no film....Hard Luck Woman is on a few of them.

[pottma01]

Cool, especially that acapella end to ladies room, never heard that!!!!

[chukhava]

really great

[tommyg75230]

Wow, amazing to see this footage. I remember the night of this concert! I was 11 years old. I had couisin and friend that went to this concert. Always wondered what it was like, so now I know!! Where is Part 2??

Thanks,

Thomas

[YooTubeSuxLikeHell]

Now THIS is Kiss.

[Tommyr]

The REAL Kiss! Not the current half a tribute band.....

[GrandFunker]

@Tommyr Considering how much Ace and Peter contributed to getting fucked up as opposed to the band, I say BULLSHIT!

[fender7375]

@GrandFunker Sorry man, but Tommyr is right

[GrandFunker]

@fender7375 Sorry man, I still say BULLSHIT

[tonetone71]
