This concert was the last known performance of 'Ladies In Waiting'. Rather than deal with the glut of interview requests, the band held a press conference at the Airport Hilton for key members of the Detroit media. No other interviews were granted during the band's three day stay.

Upon arriving in Detroit on the 25th, Bill Aucoin (their manager) went straight from the venue to a video suite for the intro to the evening's show. The video was projected on a screen above the stage prior to the beginning of the concert. All three of KISS's January 1976 performances at Cobo Hall in the Cobo Arena were archived on videotape by the Kelly Kirby production team.

The band's first tourbook, 'In Concert 1976', debuted at this show, it was one of three initial pieces of merchandise sold by Boutwell Enterprises, who were brought on board in January to handle merchandising. Boutwell was also in charge of handling the band's fan club, the KISS Army!

  • Paul looks sick with a Les Paul!

  • @johnny72764 and why is that?explain

  • fantastic!!!

    

  • @jacky95tp its in the beginning of the video

  • is this the 25th, 26th or 27th?

  • This is awesome. Look at Paul with that sweet Les Paul. Is this from the DVD or is this an alternate night? I love this period of KI SS. They were young and hungry. And wrote songs like Parasite and Watchin' You and Ladies in Waiting.

    Does anyone know why LiW was dropped from the setlist?

  • I wonder if Ace knew where he was that night...

  • @redhead5150 listen to Ace on the reunion tour, and you understand why tommy is a much better option. no offence to Ace i love him, but tommy is a great guy and guitarist and he deserves more than he gets from the ''fans''

  • They were AMAZING in those first four years...

  • THIS is the REAL Kiss folks! Accept no imitations!
