I saw them live that same year and I've been to well over one hundred concerts and I have to say that KISS in 1977 was the best concert I've ever seen 🤘🎸♥️
No band could ever match Kiss, the way the were back in the day. They had an appeal unlike any other. Everything was perfect, from top to bottom - the name, the logo, their incredible image with the make-up and costumes and the mystique surrounding the band because they didn't show themselves without make-up - to me it was like there was something almost supernatural about them with that image they had, like they were from another world, and of course the great music and epic stage shows. That whole package altogether is light years beyond any act in the history of rock IMO. I'm glad I started listening to them when they still had the make-up and was able to experience that era of Kiss.
I was a HUGE fan back in the 70s...As a fan i am embarrassed at how they constantly bitch about each other in the press nowadays. But back then...no one could touch them..One of the best live acts ever.
Used to walk home from school hit the take away shop play 1 game of space invaders 20c 1 icey 20c and 1 pack of kiss cards 15c then home to listen to love gun or aces solo album ..1979 in Australia
I remember getting $10 out of the bank, buying an album(VH or Kiss 😂) for $6.99 and having $3 left over for Meteor asteroids and Galaga 🤟🤟✌️✌️ Oh ya those triangular icy u could stick a straw in ?
MegaChorro123 They were, but they were absolutely huge in the late 70's. I was all part of that scene. Kiss late 70's was as big as all the hair metal bands put together from the late 80's...believe it or not, thats how popular KISS was. In the late 70's, most people in my school listened to KISS, but there were some kids that were into DISCO in that time. I am glad I got to experience the 70's...the time we are living through now is really bad. Every decade seems to get worse as time goes on.
I wasn't at this one but I was at on in Ft Worth. IT was so loud it vibrated my jeans .... the little fold your jeans make when you sit down? on your shins. It vibrated THAT fabric. It was obvious enough I pointed it out to my date.
Did you ever seen them on stage with the four founders ? Ace was a green plant on stage. He never mooved like the others. The show always be done by Gene and Paul, so it's a little bit normal the cameras catch them. Ace was a good guitarist, but not a stage performer.
Was a KISS fan since age 7 1977 never saw til the reunion 1996 at the Houston Summit. They still sounded good at that time and all THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS
The Love Gun tour was my favorite and it was when KISS was at the pinnacle of their success. I've seen The Who, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Led Zep, Sabbath, Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Tull, Van Halen, ACDC, and many more classic rock bands and never enjoyed any of those shows like the Love Gun tour, KISS is what made my teen years bearable and stood for everything I wanted at that time in my life, Flaming Youth will set the world on fire!
Jose Mendoza Thx for the reply, the proof is in the pudding with Garth Brooks and other icons admitting they stole ideas about concert gimmicks from Kiss. They were truly pioneers in the sense of what a real rock concert should include.
Good point, I remember Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons wanting to play in Tupelo MS in honor of Elvis, they weren't allowed a permit to have a concert there. But they said the big Elvis in lights inspired them to highlight their logo on stage. They also credited the Beatles with wanting to get the female crowd excited.
@@Mansondandy Paul much better than Bowie weak ass music put on your red shoes and dance lmao what did he ever write that actually really rocked like I stole your love overrated Rolling Stone cover boy Kiss and Alice Cooper real theatrical rock Major Tom another dumb ass boring song 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is exactly how I'd handle things if I had a rock band and we were playing a live show. I'd find one of our best songs, open with it, go straight for the throats of the audience, show no mercy and keep attacking them musically right to the very end.
@@ASKMEABOUTMYGARDEN excellent song! One of my favorites of theirs. Heavy riffs and a screaming, spaced out guitar solo with awesome vocals mixed with Peter's solid, driving beat, it's dark lyrics, draw you in instantly. It also has a catchy chorus that easily gets stuck in my head. Even if I wasnt a fan I would still love this rad track. Merry KISSMAS!😎⚡😊
Saw them in Phila. Dec. 22, 1977. They opened with this song. Saw them again when the original members united with the makeup in 1996. Have seen a lot of bands over the years such as Styx, Def Leppard, Van Halen, the Kinks, Iron Maiden, Queensryche and Whitesnake. All great bands, but none of them put on a show like the original Kiss did. Pure energy and magic.
Digiusep1 Likewise! In my opinion, Kiss was MEANT to be a "spectacle" and NOT "just (merely) get on the stage, plug in your instruments, and play music!"
They opened this Love Gun Tour in Halifax, Nova Scotia on July 8th, 1977 with this song and stage set up and I was there! 16 years old right upfront with my 2 buddies. I still have an Ace guitar pick and my ticket stub from that show framed in my man cave. Fast forward to 2009 and I see them again in Halifax with my wife. Simmons forgets the lyrics to Deuce, no Ace, no Peter, and Paul's voice is shot. Ah nostalgia!
I bought Destroyer and the first kiss album at Record City. I was 13. They were hungry at that time and they rocked. I saw the reunion tour with all 4 right before Criss walked over $ there was tention in the band. Frehley was drunk. I was a few feet away from him at front stage. I could smell the alcohol from him. Simmons yelled at Frehley. It was kinda sad. I had a camera. Right in mid song Stanley stopped and posed for me while i took the pic. Great show. Glad i saw the 4 originals. Rock on brother!!!
Peter Criss is the reason why I want to play the drums, Paul Stanley was the reason because I learned to singing and playing the guitar at same time, Ace Frehley made me to play the guitar and Gene Simmons animated me to play the bass
Web Direct Brands That's how my mom felt when she found i enjoyed Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Slayer, and Motley Crue! From the posters, to the t-shirts, to magazine pin-ups, to going to the concerts, you name it!
Web Direct Brands Awesome, funny though my mother bought my ticket to the Alive II concert and of course she was there one fantastic night. Came home with massive ringing in my ears, my body shaking from the awesome amps and my hair full of the God of Thunder machine confetti machine. Thanx Mom!
here i am, as well! 51 years old. Thank u KISS for opening the Gates!!! I cannot thank you enough! I stole your love is the root to everything else! Thank u thank u and grazzie so much!
One of their songs I play a lot on repeat. Totally gives me energy. Definitely my favorite on the Album Love Gun. I wish, they would have played this song live more often. The crowd gets super charged, when they do. 🤘
Purchased my very first Kiss Lp in 1977 - Love Gun. Addicted since. I worked more than 40 years in the music business, saw more than 500 Bands live and i say, there is no better Band entered the Stage as KISS in their prime Greets From Austria🤩❤😛
I was at this show, my dad took me and my best friend Andrew, i was 12yrs old and couldn't believe i was actually seeing the real KISS in person. To this day i've never experienced anything as electric and exiting. Best time of my life. R.I.P. Andrew... we had a blast
I was 7 years old and my older brother and I had their albums. He got me into them... LOL our poor parents but we loved it. Most kids did back then. Good times.
This is the KISS I loved and bugged my parents to give me money to get the albums when I was in junior high. This is actually my sophmore year in high school when they did this performance.
I saw this tour in Denver when I was in sixth grade. Parents dropped my buddy and I off in the parking lot. My mom says she must’ve been crazy doing that. Lol.
My first concert 1978. They were at the top of thier game then. I was simply amazed. Looking back, i dont think I ever saw a more entertaining band ever.
My first KISS show was 4 months after this concert, December 19, 1977 at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. AC/DC was the opening act. It was a great show They seemed to play forever. Seeing KISS live in the 71's was a ROCK experience with no equal!
Yup I agree. My brother took me to see them on this tour in 1977 in San Francisco. The opening act was Cheap Trick. Great show, and I really enjoyed both bands that night. The show was actually the same night Elvis passed away. August 16th 1977. KISS dedicated Rock & Roll all night to Elvis at that show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍
Just reading the biography from Paul Stanley which was released several years ago. Always been a fan of this band and i am owning the two KISS pinball machines as well. This has always been one of my absolute favourite songs from them. Great how they enter the stage while the hard and heavy riffs makes you go crazy. I have only seen them once here in germany back in 1997 (Hamburg - Trabrennbahn) after they had re-masked. It was one of the greatest shows ever! Paul was only 25 years old when this video was shot. Great! Great! With regards from germany.
Those were the days. Paul says ace and Peter today can't keep up with him and gene talent wise. Well sometimes this is what is all that's needed. To me this is the real KISS
KISS 1976 I was age 11. First song I heard by them was Beth at a friends house with headphones. My first KISS album, "KISS", their first album. KISS was huge mid 70's. Alive Album.
Michael Coffman Turn it up loud and sing along with it. That's how I get music like this over to young people. When they catch the vibe, groove and spirit of songs like this, they will appreciate it! lol
I like Kiss if only for the fact that their songs are so easy to learn. DP, Black S, LZ from the 70s can be really involved. I never liked Kiss because I knew them in their Grunge Death Metal trying to keep up with the kids phase. But in their prime pre-1982 they had some really great riffs. I must say that this I Stole Your Love does remind me of Deep Purple and Blackmore's Rainbow who did this sort of thing before KISS.
Imagine singing and playing this song in front of thousands of people, in the dark with bombs going off, in platform boots and totally making it rock. Watch Paul. Between each chord or verse, he strikes a killer pose, tosses a pick into the crowd, points to whichever lady he wants to meet after the show, jumps or spins in those boots or running down a staircase .Lol. And he keeps that energy up the whole show .
Fuckin' sweet lyrics. The way Paul Stanley lays down the vocal over the riff & groove is absolutely brilliant. For how great a song this is, I always thought the original studio version is produced very poorly. The guitar riff is NOT given the justice it deserves with that production. It's a shame you can't get to hear, "I Stole Your Love" with the same sonic tone of the production of the "Rock And Roll Over" where the guitars and drums sound SPECTACULAR and not muddy like the production on the "Love Gun" album.

Best shows I ever saw was alice cooper welcome to my nightmare and kiss on their 1996 reunion tour
if you werent a kid back in 76 77 78 79 ...you have no idea how big kiss was ,,they were so important to so many people,,,such a big influence

True!
Rock on !!!
My grandpa went to this shit! He said the music was like ridiculously loud. Lol I wish I would've been born in the 70's
if you were born in the 70's, you would not be able to see them..you would have been a small child at this concert.
Bob Silver well yea but Kiss was still going strong in the 80's.

i stay in jackson ms...didnt know about that....when did this happen
I no your comment is old but thanks for the info, always wanted to no what kiss thought of elvis
Seeing Paul jump across the stage as soon as he gets off the lift our chills on me lol greatest front man ever
KISS was truly the best. No band will ever match the excitement of a KISS concert in the 1970s
We're at there Peak
Zeppelin was getting burned out same as Sabbath Aerosmith the Who the Drug thing
1) Led Zeppelin 1969 - 73
2) KISS 1974 - 79
3) Van Halen 1980 - 84
Now this is the mighty KISS. Old school.
It's the mighty Deep Purple BURN 😂😂😂
Exactly
This video just goes and proves that they were something special about the four original members of KISS. Unreal. Long live rock!

I certainly will. Thanks!@@danlorenzo

I saw this show in Madison Square Garden in December 1977. I will be at their final shows there this coming December. I'm so stoked!

Yes that and Detroit Rock City

When KISS actually ruled the world.
for the very short time they ruled,because music in second half of 70s was dead

A good example of Peter's jazzy "swing" style drumming on a hard rock song, which is what made Kiss sound so unique at the time.

He wasn't completely addicted to coke, pills, and booze yet.

Such a great moment. Very raw and full of energy. ¿They did rule the world for a moment didn't they?

And, if you want to learn about marketing and merchandising, listen to Gene Simmons.
This is the best looking stage stage setup they ever had. Even the coolest outfits too.
This was them at their 1st peak. Imo they had a few more. 80s and 90s too
Also I wish they would restore some of these old concerts videos to hd.

The real Kiss. I saw them five times in the 70s and twice on their reunion tour. This was the absolute best lineup. Ya. I’m a fan😜
What a fantastic entrance! They haven't beaten it since!
I may have been 3 or4 but kiss was everything snd that led me into a life of metal
Too bad Gene is such an A-hole
Seems like just yesterday i was at that show a 9 yr old kid seeing his musical heroes for the first of many shows. KISS still Rocks 🎸👍✌
1977 4 guys caught lightning in a bottle ❤❤❤❤
Say what you may about Paul Stanley's guitar playing...but only use words such as 'fantastic', 'superb' and 'excellent' to describe his songwriting.
Kiss at their absolute peak here!! Still love this song! What an opener for Love Gun!
This song is 100x better live
today is 1/2/23. I'm 65 and this kicks the snot out of everything ! EVERY thing
Just reading the biography from Paul Stanley which was released several years ago. Always been a fan of this band and i am owning the two KISS pinball machines as well. This has always been one of my absolute favourite songs from them. Great how they enter the stage while the hard and heavy riffs makes you go crazy. I have only seen them once here in germany back in 1997 (Hamburg - Trabrennbahn) after they had re-masked. It was one of the greatest shows ever! Paul was only 25 years old when this video was shot. Great! Great! With regards from germany.
Saw this tour, greatest band ever
And some little idiots say that Gene can't play. Just listen to that bass.
Those were the days. Paul says ace and Peter today can't keep up with him and gene talent wise. Well sometimes this is what is all that's needed. To me this is the real KISS
This one and Love Gun are two KISS songs I will never get tired of hearing.
One of the hottest openings ever!
I was at this concert; Chicago Stadium, fifth row center from stage. Unforgettable and great. Kiss at the top of their game!
Peter's just having a jolly old time back there!
KISS 1976 I was age 11. First song I heard by them was Beth at a friends house with headphones. My first KISS album, "KISS", their first album.
KISS was huge mid 70's. Alive Album.
Peter Criss is such an awesome drummer
was
To go back in a time machine and see this live.... oh man
For some reason, I can't convince my son and daughter how cool this is. Kids these days...
Give them some time :) I have switched from thrash to KISS at the age of 38. Its never late :)
Michael Coffman Really? I'm 15 and LOVE KISS!
Michael Coffman Turn it up loud and sing along with it. That's how I get music like this over to young people. When they catch the vibe, groove and spirit of songs like this, they will appreciate it! lol
Fraevo10 I can see that working.
+EHEC19200 I liked kiss from the age of 4.....im better
Kiss is for ever , I am 51 now still on me , they will never die .
what an amazing performance
I like Kiss if only for the fact that their songs are so easy to learn. DP, Black S, LZ from the 70s can be really involved. I never liked Kiss because I knew them in their Grunge Death Metal trying to keep up with the kids phase. But in their prime pre-1982 they had some really great riffs. I must say that this I Stole Your Love does remind me of Deep Purple and Blackmore's Rainbow who did this sort of thing before KISS.
Song still gets me to this day. Gotta love Kiss
This is My KiSS. At their peak and headed into the dirt. 74-78. KISS Army forever
No other band have ever come close to what KISS was at this time.
Greatest tour ever!!!!!!!!!
Debatable.
14 years old, and I was there!
What a privilege...you were an eyewitness to the peak!
Now this is KISS and without Ace and Peter it is not KISS love it
Paul Stanley s voice is monumental and he struts on stage with the platforms with style!!
They rocked this song like no other. Pure showmanship and a little talent went a long way for decades.....
Great hard rock talent
Imagine singing and playing this song in front of thousands of people, in the dark with bombs going off, in platform boots and totally making it rock. Watch Paul. Between each chord or verse, he strikes a killer pose, tosses a pick into the crowd, points to whichever lady he wants to meet after the show, jumps or spins in those boots or running down a staircase .Lol. And he keeps that energy up the whole show .
Fuckin' sweet lyrics.
The way Paul Stanley lays down the vocal over the riff & groove is absolutely brilliant. For how great a song this is, I always thought the original studio version is produced very poorly. The guitar riff is NOT given the justice it deserves with that production. It's a shame you can't get to hear, "I Stole Your Love" with the same sonic tone of the production of the "Rock And Roll Over" where the guitars and drums sound SPECTACULAR and not muddy like the production on the "Love Gun" album.
+Fraevo10 it's a great track but he stole the riff from Ritchie Blackmore on Burn by Deep Purple!
This was my first Kiss concert in 1977 they played in San Antonio Texas same year as the Summit it was great
KISS is amazing,paul stanley is the best
Seen this show in dec.77 in Wichita Kansas. Life long fan.
Classic KISS, great times, real great times
