I just wanna say, i've been a Kiss fan for about 38 years and the good guitarists and the good drummers have come and gone.. A band is not about any 1 person and that is what KISS proves. I didn't like what i heard, happened over the years but life goes on and sometimes it is better to just move on and hope that others understand the politics involved in running a multi million dollar business so, To all you haters..dont hate the player, hate the game!
@lancetop According to you. I think, among many other, that they produced some of their best songs after Ace left. Such as I love it loud, Lick it up, Heavens on fire, Forever, God gave rock n' roll to you etc. However, I do prefer Kiss in the 70th, but they still kicked ass in the 80th. Eric Carr stepped up the pace!
is this audio recorded actually from that gig? i've heard that when Kiss Alive they when to the studio to re-record the whole concert cause ti had real bad quality.
@justsupersteve The audio is actually live. The shows recorded for "Alive" were not as good quality. Watch any of the shows from Cobo Hall and nothing matches up with the audio on "Alive". KISS pretty much re-recorded the entire album in the studio. They also added "enhanced crowd noise". I always loved "Alive" but learning this took the shine off it a bit. I could never figure out why they didn't just record a different show - like this one! They sound great here!
that has never been a prooven thing ,,that's something the kiss haters out there made up...kiss alive was mostly recorded at cobo hall...but were from 2 other live shows..kiss just took the best of all 3 shows and combined it as one show,,,at that time remember kiss was out since 73 but not with much record sales...people wanted to see them live record sales were poor until alive,.,.they had no money or budget to re-record anything ,,as per paul and gene themselves.
@camarotoro It doesn't need to be "prooven" - Gene, Paul and Eddie Kramer have already gone on record to say that the album was not "touched-up" but basically re-recorded in the studio. Very few tracks from the live performances made it into the final mix. This was not "something the kiss haters made up", i's fact! So what you are saying is complete bullshit. Again, listen to the audio on the live video recordings of the Cobo Hall shows - nothing matches the "Alive" album.
This was back when Gene actually player his bass! Miss those days. this is a great tune,not even sure which first 3 albums this song came from.. good stuff
you are right ,,,gene simmons is a pretty good bass player,,,these old tunes have great bass lines ,,and a booming gibson bass sound...he gets no credit for his bass playing.
@leatherebel1 no im sure they loved it! back then people never sung along or moshed or got wild at concerts, because they paid money to watch the group do their thing
That riff right after the chorus used to drive me crazy with the one extra eighth-note tucked in there. One of those rare and wonderful riffs that is actually easier to play when you DON"T count it :)
Listen to the groove they are laying down to start the 2nd verse @ 1:15 ! Gene & Peter are so immersed in the song its fantastic & the Demon is incredible here !
a lot of people don't give KISS credit for being heavy. but, listen to this shit, detroit rock city, black diamond and many others, and KISS was heavy. KISS!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, it would have been awesome to see KISS in 75 at a concert like this. They were so badass back then. This is clearly when they were at their best.
Always been a favorite song. If I was to see this band play this song today at some club I would say NOW these guys get what rocks. Catchy riffs,killer singing and they are having FUN!!!! and being badass. I've been sick of rock n roll all night for years. Must dig deep into their earlier albums to find the kick ass songs and this is one of them. Thanks for the upload of this killer Kiss song.
they turned it into a job....its not about the music anymore, listen to genes voice in this hes hitting high notes n shit...they dont do much of that anymore its just "play the songs and get me off stage"
Ace did Nazi stuff purely as a joke for fun and sometimes took it a bit far when he went drunk. Paul thought it was funny most of the time and wasn't offended. Gene really did always treat Ace unfairly though.
In honesty, when you think of it, the original KISS lineup was a clusterfuck - there's Gene & Paul -2 Jews, Peter Criss the Italian Roman Catholic, and Ace, the Nazi fanatic - its a wonder they lasted so long

@trueRock100 Don't think so. He is half indian half dutch (or to some degree from his father's side). The average Dutch is more laid back than other europeans.
@trueRock100 - To be honest, I think Ace started using the wole Nazi stuff just to get back at Gene. Since Gene is Jewish (Paul as well), it's Gene who was always treating Ace like a nothing, so Ace figured the Nazi stuff was his way of getting back.
i would have loved to gone to this tour, 12 n 75, this is when concerts were concerts, but i did see them n 77, this 1975 tour is part of rock n roll history dose'nt matter if u like it r not, it is what it is,how many of u know any one who was there, early 70s, best rock concert erea ever,this was a big bad ass rock n roll party,u cant do shit at concert halls now,i'll bet this concert was about 10 bucks r less,n 77 i paid 7 dollars for a sit upstaires,the real CRAP IS WHATS OUT NOW
Listen To How Great Gene Sings This.........High Falsetto, What Happened He Stopped Singing Great And Became Too Much Of A Demon And Just Growled Every Song ..........
this is the best era of kiss, gene and paul can say what they want, they 4 kicked ass when they were young and raw no one can replace ace and peter. not to mention gene really was still the demon back then
If KISS 1976-1978 were the superheroes.Then KISS 1975 were the super villians. I love the pure power and destruction of their attitude . They come off as if they'll tear the building down. Gene looks purely evil. I love this video. This shows why they were destined to become superstars [or superheroes] .

When I was little and first saw Gene Simmons, he scared the shit out of me. Now 35 years later as an adult, Gene Simmons still scares the shit out of me. LOVE their music though, esp in their early years.
It's the 1974 tour (and outfits) for the Hotter than Hell album though it inches into January 1975. KISS looking and sounding dangerous before commercial success got to them.
@TheSlatanic You and your sister saw Kiss when you were 9?! How lucky can you get?! Who did Kiss open for-or did someone open for them? I bet that show was LOUD!
This is one of my favorite perfomances of KISS mostly because it's was there earlier stuff which is what I really like because the magic it had because how this was during the time where barely anyone knew what they looked like without the makeup, it was mysterious and fun. Now I do like there newer stuff to and I don't care about what members are in the band or what. As long as there still around i'm good. I only wish though I could have been able to witness KISS during this time period.
@pack05intx: name me one band where this doesnt apply?
Anyway I never saw them in the 70s so I cant compare but I saw them for the first time this year and as far as Im concerned they slayed more than any other band Ive seen apart from one particular Rammstein show.
@sjdss They sucked AFTER 1975?? Are you retarted, they put out some great songs after then too. They didnt get bad until about '82, The Creatures of the Night albulm has some great songs--I love it Loud--War Machine etc.
the good ol days! back when gene was Godzilla, instead of a sleeply lizzard, Paul was the Starchild with the voice of the gods,instead of a man in make-up singing through his dentures, and when we had Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley!!
This is the band at the absolute height of their powers. They were hungry,raw and they kicked ass. I actually prefer the live sound of this show than the slightly more polished Alive! record.
Well, Alive and Alive 2 wasn't really live. Most of it were made in a studio. They were more "live feeling" albums. But this clip proves that they were able to play awesome live.
I never got the feeling that Gene and Paul had crappy attitudes till 1978. They were happy with this line-up till Peter asked for more songs on an album. They have not created the 70's since.
Gene's on FIRE!!

I'm a big Kiss fan and love this song. This is back when they were young and hungry like someone else said and I love that.
Just like with Motley Crue, Van Halen, Rush, etc... I really dig their first albums, videos, etc... more than their later stuff.
All those bands I mentioned still rock, though. Just sayin...

One of my favorite KISS songs. And the BW does give them that certain raw, evil look.

This show alone makes Kissology Vol 1 worth it buying

black and white suits them fine.They look a little more like ''Knights In Satan's Service'' ; )

KISS when they were young and hungry were way better than when they got old and greedy.

@pack05intx: name me one band where this doesnt apply?
Anyway I never saw them in the 70s so I cant compare but I saw them for the first time this year and as far as Im concerned they slayed more than any other band Ive seen apart from one particular Rammstein show.

@sjdss They sucked AFTER 1975?? Are you retarted, they put out some great songs after then too. They didnt get bad until about '82, The Creatures of the Night albulm has some great songs--I love it Loud--War Machine etc.

The main riff sounds like something Jimi Hendrix would play. COOL!

the good ol days! back when gene was Godzilla, instead of a sleeply lizzard, Paul was the Starchild with the voice of the gods,instead of a man in make-up singing through his dentures, and when we had Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley!!

Peter Criss is great here, he's very underestimated.

This is the band at the absolute height of their powers. They were hungry,raw and they kicked ass. I actually prefer the live sound of this show than the slightly more polished Alive! record.

This is KISS when they were totally raw just the music no theatrics no pyrotechnics just KISS b&w and raw.

Well, Alive and Alive 2 wasn't really live. Most of it were made in a studio. They were more "live feeling" albums. But this clip proves that they were able to play awesome live.

Wish they would release this as a live album also the roosevelt stadium show.

I never got the feeling that Gene and Paul had crappy attitudes till 1978. They were happy with this line-up till Peter asked for more songs on an album. They have not created the 70's since.
