KISS on The Midnight Special in 1975 Burt Sugarman's The Midnight Special was a place where famous and beginning bands got to play a song or two, mostly it was pop or a standard rock song... And suddenly there was KISS! Blowing the roof off!!

For a promotion appearance for their Dressed To Kill album and tour they performed Deuce, She, Black Diamond and C'mon And Love Me, sadly the latter, was never aired...

For some reason Peter started bashing his kit to hell after a few cymbals fell of his drum kit platform at the end of Black Diamond, why he did this was never known for sure, but i bet the rest of the band and their manager was not happy with it seeing it was a brand new drum kit from Pearl, who gave it just for this occasion...

Take a good look at the audience during this performance, this is how most of the crowds reacted with their first contact with KISS, a pure adrenaline hard rock show.
