KISS - In Store Appearance - Peaches in Atlanta (1976)

KISS makes an in-store appearance at a Peaches record store in Atlanta (1976 - give or take a year).
The podcast hosts of CONCERT BLAST! just happened to be driving through Atlanta and saw a crowd gathering. When they discovered what was happening, Mike pulls out his Super 8mm movie camera and begins to shoot.

I can't believe this. Thanks to whoever was involved in posting this. I was there and have this day in my mind ,but wow to see this.... I remember Ace being drunk and them staying at Peaches just a short time. I ran around to that wooded lot and saw them up close when they left. I still have a picture of Genes hand in the back window of the limo. THANKS !!! ASH

@zetamoon We were teenagers driving from Tifton, GA on the way back to Nashville, TN. We heard about the record store Peaches and wanted to visit. We couldn't believe the sign read KISS in store appearance today! I happened to have my Super 8mm camera with me and bought a new roll of film and fresh batteries across the street from Peaches. 3 out of 4 of our partners from our podcast, Concert Blast, happened to be there. A friend transposed this to DVD for me. Thanks, Mike A.

ohmigod. This is unbelievable. That's me and my friends in that first limo. I can't believe you have this.

I have lots of photos from that day. Me and my friends in those costumes before we went to Peaches, and me and Gene, and Ace at the hotel, etc. Wanna trade? I'd love to have a copy of this film! And I can sure prove it's me because I have loads of photos.

I was there and met KISS inside and my brother and I got their autographs on a Peaches flyer.I was so hoping to see myself in this footage.Glad to see it anyway.I almost got fired from my job for going up there to see KISS,because I was over 2 hours late to work.The idiot I worked for said he would not let me off to go to the concert so when I knew of KISS appearing at Peaches I went and didn't care if I lost my job.Luckily I didn't and got meet earth wind and fire wehn they stayed at my motel

@Vaekkrinhart They were cutting through a Kudzu trail behind the shopping center where Peaches records and tapes was located, but looks like somebody let the cat outta the bag ahead of time.

No cell phones back then. That same footage now would have everyone holding up a cell phone...

WAS Ace really that loaded?

the video states August 29, but it was August 14... August 29th was a show date they did in Atlanta...
