If you havent seen a KISS concert in person, yhou've missed out - only Bruce and Prince compare for me - never saw Zepp or U2 - and not the Stones, for that matter - but these guys never let me down, although their shows always hit about 80 minutes, usually without an opening act. - still Journey went longer and jesus, what a bunch of drab music they played in concerts - all post-Escape, all filled with Pop Schmaltz.
Some of you folks gotta realize, for one, sound reinforcement was very different in the 70's and early 80's , no where near the quality people take for granted today. Back then it was very rare to see your heroes actually moving on tv. Besides an appearance on Don Kirschner and the Phanton movie I had only seen kiss on their album sleeves or a magazine ..till I saw this tour. So it's probly hard to imagined but back then it was so thrilling to see and hear them live, so raw,so organic, your just trying to soak everything in and hope it never ends. People didn't nick pick on all this minutia, you where just happy you where there. Plus these dudes worked there asses off for yrs traversing the globe putting in work nite after nite, and when your playing 5 nites a week, at least 2 of those shows are going to be off nites,it's just how it goes when you tour. And ya things may have started going downhill, maybe relationships where fractured, but again that's how it goes. Most bands are lucky to get 6-10 yrs , every show can't be a banger, every relationship can't stay in a perpetual honey moon . These four made magic together, I'm so glad I caught them during their first run, it was truly a thrill of a lifetime.
Great post, amigo! Yes, other than Don Kirschner's tv show and The Midnight Special, you HAD to go see these great bands live to be sure they were real moving, breathing people. Ha ha.
Also, the quality of this audio in particular isn´t great, like the image isn´t as well. We have abundant good quality video and sound evidence that KISS kicked ass with a consistent high quality delivery. Touring bands really worked hard AF, and the travelling was much less comfortable that it is nowadays.
Kiss one of my all time favorite bands, New England was the opening band, I went to this show July 7th 1979 at the Capital Centre in Largo, MD, this show was July 8th 1979 I think released on the Kissology videos, Rocking concert and the loudest concert I've ever seen, Ted Nugent being the 2nd, incredibly powerfully loud! Being there and seeing it live is where it's really appreciated, the video doesn't capture it the same but non the less Awesome to see!
I love reading these comments, especially you being at this gig. My first was gig was the Lick it Up tour 1983. Glasgow Apollo Theatre. A blistering set and the loudest I'd heard, my ears buzzing for days. My favourite band these fellas.
That's awesome I didn't see that tour but many other tours after that, they certainly were the loudest band I've ever seen, LOL....Thanks for reading!@onroy8341
Hands down. To me ACE in kiss and his sound and solos happen to be the best. He had his own style and signature licks like no other! To me guitar playing of excellence! Still so very sorry they couldn’t see it through to the end! I was 7 in Albuquerque New Mexico when I saw this tour for the first show I’ve seen .Very emotional to relive this time! It was the best ever!
And Paul and Gene saying that Ace and Peter were completely incapable of playing their instruments by this point which is complete BS I saw them on this tour I was 10 years old and saw them like five times after this and this was the best day ever played in my opinion. I think there were other people that wanted Ace and Peter out so Paul and then we just say whatever they were told to say. Is clear by the video that they're coherent and playing quite well in fact.
They were at their peak back then, authentic! I saw them in 1979. ACE looked & sounded great & Peter certainly kept up. The original line-up was & still is, the best!
@@maria-lena5919 absolutely i saw them on the Dynasty tour and thought that Ace & Peter both were playing better than ever. It was all about money and control, Paul and Gene wanted all the control and when Ace and Peter started complaining that they weren't being paid the same as they were they were afraid of being exposed so they defamed them both to make them look bad so if they said anything they can say oh they're just a couple of druggies. I mean don't get me wrong they were both partying seriously way too hard Peter has admitted he had a crippling cocaine habit Ace also and he drank A LOT and I'm sure it was brutal trying to maintain on the road but there's plenty of evidence proving that they were still more than capable of performing. I've been a musician over 30 years myself and partied hard back in the day and I can tell you right now the road will beat you down and if you're not eating right and doing a bunch of drugs and drinking You're going to be seriously hurting trust me I've been there. Either way Gene and Paul are both liars and if they weren't the way they were I'm sure they could have worked things out.
Like his solos - but they are all derivative of each other, scratchy finger-picking through one register about 3 or 8 frets up the bar...alternating quite predictably. Even by 70s standards, this is pretty routine.- like bad blues rip-offs.
Busted my cherry cobo arena 1973 John winter and his brother with Rick Derringer with Bob Seger playing frist, needless I was 5th southern comfort with window pain acid out of my mind!!!!!
Saw that tour with KISS and Judas Priest in Kansas City, Missouri on Suptember 30, 1979. Can't believe it's been almost 45 years ago! Saw them four more times since, including the final tour.
San Francisco’s been home since 1993…but this tour was my very first concert. In Denver, November 4th, 1979. Wow, if ANY RUclipsrs got footage of that show…PLEASE POST IT! 🤘🏿🔥🤘🏿
Watch this concert carefully. Paul said it's this era where Peter & Ace were playing really bad not interested in being in the band. What's seen here does not support what was said. Ace doing 2000 Man is just awesome. Ace's playing through the whole concert is on point. The whole set list is so different to the almost frozen setlist of the latter year Kiss
Ace didn't like the direction the band was going in. When Peter left Ace had no say anymore. Gene and Paul have proven often that they are jerks. When they wanted to be back on top in 96 who did they call up?
Quite the opposite. I thought Ace played some tasty lead and held up the songs well. Peter isnt really noticeable which is always a good thing with the drummer. Solid. I always rate Gene vocally and his bass anyways. The only noticeable flaw is Pauls vocals.
This is the era that drew me in as a kid. They may have had better stage set ups than this, but the wardrobe is phenomenal and makes up for it! Kiss forever 👍 edit : Everything about this is phenomenal !
... adoro, amo a este súper grupo ... lástima que no pudieran o pudieron continuar con esta su alineación original ... la perfecta ... pero ... pero esos malditos egos enfermizos que no se saben manejar mandan al carajo con todo lo bueno que pueda existir ... y no solo en la música, es en todos los ámbitos de la vida. Pero bueno, quedémonos en nuestro corazón con estas joyas audiovisuales. Yo seré, pese a todo, seguidor de este súper Grupo hasta que me muera. Tengo 62 años. Espero seguir con ellos cuando menos otros 30 más. Dios los bendiga. Salud!
This is the first KISS concert I ever saw, on rented bootleg VHS from my local record store. I remember Peter bobbling the words to Beth. On Kissology, they edited that mistake out, and I was supremely disappointed. I have a 3rd gen copy of that bootleg on VHS that I dubbed myself in the KISS collection.
This was the tour I first saw them on in 1979 at the Anaheim convention Center. I was in the very first row. I agree with the person below that stated that Paul has accused Peter and Ace of playing terribly and it's clearly not evident in this concert footage as Peter and Ace are on fire, playing with plenty of enthusiasm and tightly, and on time. Paul is full of it, they sound great during this concert and just as equally at the concert I saw them at 79. This is a great show. Oh, and did I mention how awesome it was as a KISS freak, to see them in the very first row? No I didn't, but let me tell you it was incredibly awesome!!!! Watching this concert footage brought back the great memory of that night.🤘🏼
You weren’t at every show. You don’t know what happened within the band then. Peter admitted to screwing up intentionally during shows to piss the guys off, so there’s obvious something of truth to it.
"King of the Night Time World" "Radioactive" "Move On" "Calling Dr. Love" "Firehouse" "New York Groove" "I Was Made for Lovin' You" "Love Gun" "2,000 Man" "Tossin' and Turnin'" "God of Thunder" "Shout It Out Loud" "Black Diamond" Encore "Detroit Rock City" "Beth" "Rock and Roll All Nite"
Saw this tour in my hometown Halloween ‘79…..it was perfect!! Then came home and watched the infamous TOM SNYDER Tomorrow * show which they were on….recorded of course a week before…
@@TheMcrico84 The music and live show is still amazing. Be prepared for Pauls voice. Even tuning different he's still struggling.But. You'll have a blast!🎶🎆⚡🤟
Este es un video genial, soy fan de Kiss desde los 70's, y esté se me escapó, estos son los verdaderos originales, sin pirotecnia, pantallas, exceso de luces etc. Está era la verdadera magia y misterio del grupo, Y para mí Singer no sabe cantar, no sé como lo dejan, ( y repito que soy fan ). Saludos desde Cd Neza, Edo de México....
KISS es exceso de luces y pirotecnia, qué dices? Conocidos por sus extravagantes shows desde sus inicios. Y Singer tiene una voz muy buena, cuestión de gustos pero no es mal cantante. Creo que eres un poquito hater eso si, porque dices que no sabe cantar lo cual es incorrecto.
@@MrOzzysabbath exactamente. Sin Tommy y Singer, las nuevas generaciones como yo no sabríamos nada de KISS. Peter y Ace fueron también muy buenos, pero el problema de ellos dos está por demás contarlo.
Pero kiss murió después de la salida de Peter y Ace tuvieron que retomar el maquillaje de nuevo para que se dieran cuenta las nuevas generaciones que aún existían y para eso llamaron a Peter y Ace para retomar fama y reconocimiento de nuevo y no pueden negar que gracias a ellos tuvieron de nuevo la gloria que en los 70s tuvieron como grupo
My very first concert. Kizz Dynasty tour. I was in 6th grade and a Kizz Army fanatic! My parents let me go for my birthday and my high school age brother and sister took me! An unknown Johnny Mellencamp was the opener!
I love everything about this tour, love the dynasty custumes and album, and i love the four solo album tracks live, would have loved Paul to do tonight you belong to me instead, and rip it out would have been cool
RIO would’ve fit in nicely after Radioactive and Move On, as they’re all around the same tempo. NYG slows the momentum down too much, but it was the single, so I understand why they needed to play it…
Thank you so much for uploading this. I've seen clips of this concert over the years on various video clips. Mainly the Kiss my Ass video and Kiss exposed video, but i always wanted to see the whole show.
Listening to Paul’s audiobook, according to him Ace and Peter were completely incapable of playing their instruments by this point in their careers. Kinda hard to hear Peter but he at least seems to be keeping time and Ace is clearly doing great.
I've kaZillion live performances (and I myself play bass and can run thru quite a few KISS songs) and alot of times GENE plays WTH Gene feels like playing. The proof is in the audio. Unless (lol) it's not him playing and these are 70s makeup videos LIVE. KISS UNPLUGGED is a good audio show. Plus you can tell they are actually playing and singing. ( which I never jumped on the "performing to playback" bandwagon that has surfaced the last year or two.) Sadly tons of musicians are guilty of it these days. Ace and ACE's band doesn't do it. I've watched too many of his performances and a pretty good FB friend with Aces drummer Matt. Listen to the beginning of Dr Love here. 3rd song. Idk what's going on there but it's horrible for a band like KISS at that time to have live foulups like that. I think they all hated each other equally at this point.
And WHO is fucking up the chords in the beginning of "Calling Dr. Love"? It's NOT Ace! NOT the first time HE does THAT during concerts! And he's sober & lucid! GO FIGURE! And, Peter played GREAT during many shows on the 1979 Dynasty Tour! He just LOST the interest in playing w/ KISS. It's exaggerated that he couldn't play anymore in 1979.
Paul (and Gene) will never waste an opportunity to bash Ace and Peter (as well as Vinnie Vincent and Mark St. John), but they both sound fine during this performance.
Awesome! finally somebody else that was at the same show. I was I also saw them on this tour at the Anaheim convention Center! Right on brother it was a killer show wasn't it?
I saw this tour in Nashville, TN at the Municipal Auditorium. My very first concert at age six. It was the best! Awesome that you have still have this footage. Really rare. Thanks for sharing!😊
Que suerte la de ustedes yo los vi a los 41 años y fue genial las dos veces, amo a Kiss , con todas sus alineaciones. Aqui la clasica formacion tocando increible , muy buenos.

Pretty sure I was at this show. I think they played two shows in Largo in this tour. It was my first concert at 9 years old and I cried it was so loud. The band New England opened.
An edited version was used as the one of the bonus disc options on Kissology Vol. II. I had the full show on a bootleg VHS back in the 90's, though. I remember Paul forgetting some of the words in Move On, and then completely botching the intro to Calling Dr Love, as well as Ace not being able to find the hook to hang his guitar on for the levitating guitar trick after the smoking pickup solo. Oh yeah, and Peter completely losing his composure during Beth.
@@Kohntarkosz Haha... Lol... Yes, there's a reason why all of their live albums are overdubbed (edited) ...But, still a little sad we'll never get these treasures in HD. It wasn't their time. ...btw, nice name, from Magma, perhaps? 😎 Cheers!!!
Ace’s Dynasty costume kicks ass!!! I saw KISS front row Dynasty Tour in 79!!! There was this spot light it kept shining in my eyes. See people front row can be a bitch sometimes. Here comes Ace to my side of the stage and he’s jamming and sees me struggling with that light and I looked at him and he had this extra cool smile and flips a pick in my direction and I couldn’t see shit but I was front row and Ace flipped the pick right in my hand!!! As soon as I closed my hand I could feel the pick and people are trying to steel it but no way I was going to let that happen. Ace will always be my favorite KISS MEMBER!!!
Saw this tour as a 9 yr old the same night 20/20 news program aired a segment on them. I never understood them saying this tour was the start of fans bailing on them, playing half full arenas & such, seeing how big the arena was & how quickly it sold out. To me, they were more popular than ever, then again, I was 9 yrs old lol
The tour was a complete failure ronnie. Some of the first night crowds were fine but the biggest problem Kiss had was thinking it was going to be bigger than Love Gun Tour and require multiple shows in each town. You only need to look at the amount of free days/unsold and cancelled shows that were on the itinerary to see they thought they'd be big enough to do multiple shows in my citiies.
@@petesopenrailsvideos Yeah, I take your word for it. Keep in mind, it was my first rock concert, I was 9, & that same night they were on primetime telivision 20/20 which was rare back then, & later in the tour they were treated like the Beatles when they visited Australia lol My idea of seeing them faulter was 1983 Creatures of the Night tour, when that same arena really WAS half empty lol. Have a good one sir.
@@ronniepatterson2827 I probably should clarify my comment by saying failure by their own standards. Each previous tour had been bigger than the one before it and they were expecting Dynasty to do the same but in terms of ticket sales and their live performances, it was a big leap backwards. I'm an Aussie and you're right, the 1980 tour was huge here and our media treated them like the biggest thing since the Beatles, but yes, it all went downhill fast after that. They probably had to wait for the Reunion Tour to see the same level of media interest and ticket sales they'd enjoyed here in '80.
@@petesopenrailsvideos Oh yeah, sounds right when you put it like that. Though ive seen KISS with Eric Carr more than a few times with & without makeup, im thankful I caught them live with Peter Criss shortly before he bolted on them. Thankfully saw that original lineup again in the 1996 reunion tour, though Carr is a far better drummer than Peter "imo"
I wish I could have seen them in the 70's never got the opportunity, my age and family stuff was out of control. Did get to see the original line when they put their make up back on later on before the split up again. Greatest concert of my like.
I feel for ya, brother. I had friends whose parents would not allow them to come with me to see KISS and other great bands (like Van Halen and Ted Nugent) back in our schooldays. It sucked for them!
Same guy who says Ace and Peter would turn the band from kiss to piss because they're not up for it, yet has been caught with backing tracks for 5 years and lost his voice 10 years ago or more.
La historia no te dio la razón.. hubieron mejores guitarristas (Vinnie y Bruce y hubieron mejores bateristas (ambos Eric)... quizá tenían menos personalidad pero sí hubieron músicos más talentosos
Context, it was a gooood night out i bet.not every show caught on film or recording is relevant to thier best nights but i liked the tour of 79.(even if i wasnt there lol)
I just love how high paul gets on i was made for lovin you! Goosebump!!! And my beautiful Ace is always great!!! Love when he sings! Can't forget Gene in God of thunder badass song! Peter sounded great on his drum solo. But wht do I know? I'm just a fan not a musician! 😂
Un concierto clásico, con la banda repleta de experiencia, introduciendo novedades en su setlist, muy lejos del refrito repetitivo de la última gira de despedida 2023, que solo busca hacer caja y más caja... A classic concert, with the band full of experience, introducing novelties to their setlist, far from the repetitive rehash of the last 2023 farewell tour, which only seeks to make cash and more cash...
Ace was very motivated 1977 thru 1980. just look at his output. SHOCK ME, ROCKET RIDE, 3 songs each on Dynasty & Unmasked, an amazing solo album and even the best song on THE ELDER. Peter started going down hill after BETH Sadly.
This is exactly the time they should have called it quits. They were trying like Hell to stay relevant. I saw them for the last time on this tour and the venue was filled with 10-12 year olds with their parent's.

It's just you.
Forever and always
Always was always will be
He is the real deal my friend. Look in the dictionary and look up the word cool and you'll see Ace's picture. Now am I right or am I right?

My first concert. Halloween night 1979, Texas. Remember it like it was yesterday!
My first, Lakeland Fl. They rose up out of the stage. Packed arena. Mom loved it too!
... adoro, amo a este súper grupo ... lástima que no pudieran o pudieron continuar con esta su alineación original ... la perfecta ... pero ... pero esos malditos egos enfermizos que no se saben manejar mandan al carajo con todo lo bueno que pueda existir ... y no solo en la música, es en todos los ámbitos de la vida. Pero bueno, quedémonos en nuestro corazón con estas joyas audiovisuales. Yo seré, pese a todo, seguidor de este súper Grupo hasta que me muera. Tengo 62 años. Espero seguir con ellos cuando menos otros 30 más. Dios los bendiga. Salud!
55:44 what a moment beetwen paul and ace
09/22/79 with Judas Priest at the Chicago Amphitheater was the show I attended
I had to sit thru New England at the 6 shows I show on this tour. They were dreadful.
My first ever concert was 8 days later KISS/Judas Priest 9/30/79
Black Diamond...f-ing still rocks almost 50 yrs later!!
I saw this concert in Toronto... It was my first BIG concert and boy! What a benchmark to set for a 14yr old huh???
peter criss is killing it on his vocals. awesome.
Dirty living is the shit !!
@@dmdavidmiller i agree its maybe the best song of dinasty 🎉
Peter and Ace were always amazing!!! Paul Stanley has always been jealous and bashed both of these legends!!!! Pathetic
He sounds terrible on Beth and messed up the verses. He seems like he might be high.
@TheGodYouWishYouKnew Gee, ya think?
This is the first KISS concert I ever saw, on rented bootleg VHS from my local record store. I remember Peter bobbling the words to Beth. On Kissology, they edited that mistake out, and I was supremely disappointed. I have a 3rd gen copy of that bootleg on VHS that I dubbed myself in the KISS collection.
This was the tour I first saw them on in 1979 at the Anaheim convention Center. I was in the very first row.
I agree with the person below that stated that Paul has accused Peter and Ace of playing terribly and it's clearly not evident in this concert footage as Peter and Ace are on fire, playing with plenty of enthusiasm and tightly, and on time. Paul is full of it, they sound great during this concert and just as equally at the concert I saw them at 79. This is a great show. Oh, and did I mention how awesome it was as a KISS freak, to see them in the very first row? No I didn't, but let me tell you it was incredibly awesome!!!! Watching this concert footage brought back the great memory of that night.🤘🏼
You weren’t at every show. You don’t know what happened within the band then.
Peter admitted to screwing up intentionally during shows to piss the guys off, so there’s obvious something of truth to it.
"King of the Night Time World"
"Radioactive"
"Move On"
"Calling Dr. Love"
"Firehouse"
"New York Groove"
"I Was Made for Lovin' You"
"Love Gun"
"2,000 Man"
"Tossin' and Turnin'"
"God of Thunder"
"Shout It Out Loud"
"Black Diamond"
Encore
"Detroit Rock City"
"Beth"
"Rock and Roll All Nite"
Saw this tour in my hometown Halloween ‘79…..it was perfect!!
Then came home and watched the infamous TOM SNYDER Tomorrow * show which they were on….recorded of course a week before…
Bought this at a record swap in Hillside, IL in the 80s on VHS!
Exact copy.
I saw this tour! Caught Pauls pick he threw out. Still have it. Still love KISS! Going to see them this November for the Farewell.🎸 ⭐️ 🔥⚡️
Im going in oct cant wait i saw them back in 1997
my very first concert PROVIDENCE
@@TheMcrico84 The music and live show is still amazing.
Be prepared for Pauls voice.
Even tuning different he's still struggling.But.
You'll have a blast!🎶🎆⚡🤟
@@jeffhodge7272 cant wait got tickets for the oct show
You mean their farewell of the farewell?
I saw this tour in November at Anaheim Convention Center.
Great night for a 14 year old kid.
Took my younger brother to see them in Cleveland, New England was opening band. He was the Kiss fan, but they did put on a hell of a show.
Este es un video genial, soy fan de Kiss desde los 70's, y esté se me escapó, estos son los verdaderos originales, sin pirotecnia, pantallas, exceso de luces etc. Está era la verdadera magia y misterio del grupo, Y para mí Singer no sabe cantar, no sé como lo dejan, ( y repito que soy fan ). Saludos desde Cd Neza, Edo de México....
Sing better than our current catman and then come talk nonsense
KISS es exceso de luces y pirotecnia, qué dices? Conocidos por sus extravagantes shows desde sus inicios. Y Singer tiene una voz muy buena, cuestión de gustos pero no es mal cantante. Creo que eres un poquito hater eso si, porque dices que no sabe cantar lo cual es incorrecto.
@@MrOzzysabbath exactamente. Sin Tommy y Singer, las nuevas generaciones como yo no sabríamos nada de KISS.
Peter y Ace fueron también muy buenos, pero el problema de ellos dos está por demás contarlo.
Pero kiss murió después de la salida de Peter y Ace tuvieron que retomar el maquillaje de nuevo para que se dieran cuenta las nuevas generaciones que aún existían y para eso llamaron a Peter y Ace para retomar fama y reconocimiento de nuevo y no pueden negar que gracias a ellos tuvieron de nuevo la gloria que en los 70s tuvieron como grupo
@@MrOzzysabbathChris makes up for it by not knowing how drum.
I saw them on this tour,July 5 1979,and it was a killer show.
Love Cheap Trick as well, I bet that was an amazing show 👏!!!
Love Cheap Trick as well, I bet that was an amazing show 👏!!!
My very first concert. Kizz Dynasty tour. I was in 6th grade and a Kizz Army fanatic! My parents let me go for my birthday and my high school age brother and sister took me! An unknown Johnny Mellencamp was the opener!
I was at this show. My first concert.... Never knew there was video of it
I love everything about this tour, love the dynasty custumes and album, and i love the four solo album tracks live, would have loved Paul to do tonight you belong to me instead, and rip it out would have been cool
Love in Chains is one of my favorites on his solo.
Could have been a K I ⚡⚡song easily. 👍
@@jeffhodge7272excellent comment, 💯 % agree. Killer Tune!
It's Alright would've been awesome as well.
New York Groove wasn't even written by Ace.
And Peter and Genes solo albums...🤮
RIO would’ve fit in nicely after Radioactive and Move On, as they’re all around the same tempo. NYG slows the momentum down too much, but it was the single, so I understand why they needed to play it…
Move On is such an underrated song. Love this tour!
I liked Pauls solo album as much as the Ace solo.
Both sounded like K I⚡⚡to me.
Gene and Peter's.
Not so much.
Ace solo kills on Move on
The boys at their best (at the time). Ive listened to them since 1977. They are one of my favorite bands!
Thank you so much for uploading this. I've seen clips of this concert over the years on various video clips. Mainly the Kiss my Ass video and Kiss exposed video, but i always wanted to see the whole show.
Listening to Paul’s audiobook, according to him Ace and Peter were completely incapable of playing their instruments by this point in their careers. Kinda hard to hear Peter but he at least seems to be keeping time and Ace is clearly doing great.
I've kaZillion live performances (and I myself play bass and can run thru quite a few KISS songs) and alot of times GENE plays WTH Gene feels like playing. The proof is in the audio. Unless (lol) it's not him playing and these are 70s makeup videos LIVE.
KISS UNPLUGGED is a good audio show. Plus you can tell they are actually playing and singing. ( which I never jumped on the "performing to playback" bandwagon that has surfaced the last year or two.)
Sadly tons of musicians are guilty of it these days. Ace and ACE's band doesn't do it. I've watched too many of his performances and a pretty good FB friend with Aces drummer Matt. Listen to the beginning of Dr Love here. 3rd song. Idk what's going on there but it's horrible for a band like KISS at that time to have live foulups like that. I think they all hated each other equally at this point.
And WHO is fucking up the chords in the beginning of "Calling Dr. Love"? It's NOT Ace!
NOT the first time HE does THAT during concerts! And he's sober & lucid! GO FIGURE!
And, Peter played GREAT during many shows on the 1979 Dynasty Tour! He just LOST
the interest in playing w/ KISS. It's exaggerated that he couldn't play anymore in 1979.
I mean I hear it too. Compare it to even the destroyer albums tour. Yes he sounds great here but there’s still an obvious difference
I saw both shows at msg gene was fucking horrible Paul’s a asshole if ace was so bad why did he get three songs on dynasty and unmasked!,,,!,,,,,
Paul (and Gene) will never waste an opportunity to bash Ace and Peter (as well as Vinnie Vincent and Mark St. John), but they both sound fine during this performance.
This tour was my first concert at the age of 12 at the Anaheim Convention Center on I believe December 6th 1979.Great show!
I was there too! John Cougar and the Zone opened but we didn't care....We just wanted KISS!
Awesome! finally somebody else that was at the same show. I was I also saw them on this tour at the Anaheim convention Center! Right on brother it was a killer show wasn't it?
I saw this tour, Judas Priest opened for them...Just an incredible show all around!
Same. I saw them in Chicago
Yep. Saw them in Minneapolis
Knoxville, TN. I was 6. Mommy, what's that stinky smell? 😅
I saw them for the first time on that tour , first saw them at Madison Square garden , then Philadelphia spectrum a few weeks later , loved it !
this was my first concert! It was at the now gone Richfield, Coliseum , which was in Richfield, Ohio
Saw Kiss in Toronto in September of 76 , by 79 the audience became full of more and more little kids ....
I saw this tour in Nashville, TN at the Municipal Auditorium. My very first concert at age six. It was the best! Awesome that you have still have this footage. Really rare. Thanks for sharing!😊
I saw this tour w/Judas Priest.
9/12/79.
My first concert.
Ace's solo during Move On was awesome!
Not nearly as good as Bob's.
I Saw the MSG/NYC and Nassau /Long Island shows on this tour. They ALL played great!!!!!
Back when kiss was really young and awesome.....loved them 😊
Que suerte la de ustedes yo los vi a los 41 años y fue genial las dos veces, amo a Kiss , con todas sus alineaciones. Aqui la clasica formacion tocando increible , muy buenos.

Pretty sure I was at this show. I think they played two shows in Largo in this tour. It was my first concert at 9 years old and I cried it was so loud. The band New England opened.
New England was the opener when I saw this tour in Portland, Maine.
Nantucket
The old Capital Center in Largo MD. Saw so many great concerts. Was there for Judas Priest when Heavy metal parking lot was filmed.
I never saw this concert... 😮 I think it's not included on the KISSOLOGY dvd's. Thanks for the upload!!! 😁
An edited version was used as the one of the bonus disc options on Kissology Vol. II. I had the full show on a bootleg VHS back in the 90's, though. I remember Paul forgetting some of the words in Move On, and then completely botching the intro to Calling Dr Love, as well as Ace not being able to find the hook to hang his guitar on for the levitating guitar trick after the smoking pickup solo. Oh yeah, and Peter completely losing his composure during Beth.
@@Kohntarkosz Haha... Lol... Yes, there's a reason why all of their live albums are overdubbed (edited) ...But, still a little sad we'll never get these treasures in HD. It wasn't their time. ...btw, nice name, from Magma, perhaps? 😎 Cheers!!!
I saw this tour in Phoenix..Sept 10 , 1979 . I was 12 🤘🏽😝🤘🏽
me too, but in St Louis.. I was 12 too!.. I thought it was killer
I saw it in Chicago, I was 14. Had seating behind the stage and whenever those giant flame pots went off we felt like we were being cooked!
@@headspace8338 yes I was side of stage n remember the heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸💥
My first KISS concert 1979 Chicago
I was at this show I was 15 yrs old back then I am 60 now
I went to the one in Madison for my 13th birthday and I'm 58. Judas Priest opened up.
Ace Frehley may not be the best to ever do it, but he's the coolest.
Oh he's the best in my book! He was just getting fed up with Gene & Paul's bullshit!!! 👍
For sure 🤘
Oh no he was the best always was
@@ronnieosborne8534 Peter got tired of "the wigboy "eisen and genie the bloated demons bs too
@@ronnieosborne8534You mean the bullshit of keeping the band together while Ace missed sessions and played sloppy - by his own admission - guitar?
cool,they incorporated some of theyre solo material,live footage of kiss in '79 is rare,itsgood to see
7:20 Paul forgets lyrics to Move On, from his solo album.. That's rare for Paul- not so much with Gene
My very 1st concert. 15 yrs old. Norman Oklahoma October 1979
Strange this footage hasn't been cleaned up and properly released yet.
It was released, in edited form. It was one of the bonus discs that was available for Kissology Vol. II. I had to trek out to Wal Mart to get it.
Right? This has to be a 3rd generation copy.
I was there at this show when I was 10 in Vancouver bc
But I remember kiss coming out from under the stage like statues
Seen them that year in Nashville it was great!!
I love it!
I've never saw this video before!
For all Paul Stanley's talk about how Ace wasn't playing well - well Ace sure was rocking. Maybe Paul owes Ace an apology?
I was at this show with my brother and cousin! First KISS show of many over the years!
Ace’s Dynasty costume kicks ass!!! I saw KISS front row Dynasty Tour in 79!!! There was this spot light it kept shining in my eyes. See people front row can be a bitch sometimes. Here comes Ace to my side of the stage and he’s jamming and sees me struggling with that light and I looked at him and he had this extra cool smile and flips a pick in my direction and I couldn’t see shit but I was front row and Ace flipped the pick right in my hand!!! As soon as I closed my hand I could feel the pick and people are trying to steel it but no way I was going to let that happen. Ace will always be my favorite KISS MEMBER!!!
Estos son los VERDADEROS INTEGRANTES DE KISS
No these are the fake avatar ones !
49:10 Peters solo
Saw this tour as a 9 yr old the same night 20/20 news program aired a segment on them. I never understood them saying this tour was the start of fans bailing on them, playing half full arenas & such, seeing how big the arena was & how quickly it sold out. To me, they were more popular than ever, then again, I was 9 yrs old lol
The tour was a complete failure ronnie. Some of the first night crowds were fine but the biggest problem Kiss had was thinking it was going to be bigger than Love Gun Tour and require multiple shows in each town. You only need to look at the amount of free days/unsold and cancelled shows that were on the itinerary to see they thought they'd be big enough to do multiple shows in my citiies.
@@petesopenrailsvideos Yeah, I take your word for it. Keep in mind, it was my first rock concert, I was 9, & that same night they were on primetime telivision 20/20 which was rare back then, & later in the tour they were treated like the Beatles when they visited Australia lol My idea of seeing them faulter was 1983 Creatures of the Night tour, when that same arena really WAS half empty lol. Have a good one sir.
@@ronniepatterson2827 I probably should clarify my comment by saying failure by their own standards. Each previous tour had been bigger than the one before it and they were expecting Dynasty to do the same but in terms of ticket sales and their live performances, it was a big leap backwards. I'm an Aussie and you're right, the 1980 tour was huge here and our media treated them like the biggest thing since the Beatles, but yes, it all went downhill fast after that. They probably had to wait for the Reunion Tour to see the same level of media interest and ticket sales they'd enjoyed here in '80.
@@petesopenrailsvideos Oh yeah, sounds right when you put it like that. Though ive seen KISS with Eric Carr more than a few times with & without makeup, im thankful I caught them live with Peter Criss shortly before he bolted on them. Thankfully saw that original lineup again in the 1996 reunion tour, though Carr is a far better drummer than Peter "imo"
I saw this show too. I was 12... and the arena was packed- close to 20,000 ppl, St Louis...
7:01 have mercy 27:00 love gun ...

I saw them in Fargo in ‘96 with original line up, & make up. 🥰❤️🔥🤙🏻
I wish I could have seen them in the 70's never got the opportunity, my age and family stuff was out of control. Did get to see the original line when they put their make up back on later on before the split up again. Greatest concert of my like.
I feel for ya, brother. I had friends whose parents would not allow them to come with me to see KISS and other great bands (like Van Halen and Ted Nugent) back in our schooldays. It sucked for them!
I was in jr high and saw this tour at the Richfield Coliseum wayyyy back in the day
10:35 ---- HAAAAAAAA. Paul threw everyone off. Ace's look back is priceless
Paul messes up Dr love and blanks out on move on. Yet he blames ace and Peter
Same guy who says Ace and Peter would turn the band from kiss to piss because they're not up for it, yet has been caught with backing tracks for 5 years and lost his voice 10 years ago or more.
He forgot the words on Move On!
I'm surprised they never wore the Dynasty outfits again They were such cool costumes. 👍🏻😮
They didn’t want to be seen as a Vegas act or a children’s act and they thought that those costumes contributed to those images.
Saw them in June 1979 in Savannah Georgia and I think the Sweet opened up for them that night.
Cada uno de los integrantes son ÚNICOS y NO se pueden reemplazar
La historia no te dio la razón.. hubieron mejores guitarristas (Vinnie y Bruce y hubieron mejores bateristas (ambos Eric)... quizá tenían menos personalidad pero sí hubieron músicos más talentosos
I saw this tour front row and Ace was brilliant!
57:40 Pauls awesome intro to Black Diamond
Context, it was a gooood night out i bet.not every show caught on film or recording is relevant to thier best nights but i liked the tour of 79.(even if i wasnt there lol)
Saw this msg july 25! My fav stage!
34:50 Ace solo
(( close encounters))
I just love how high paul gets on i was made for lovin you! Goosebump!!! And my beautiful Ace is always great!!! Love when he sings! Can't forget Gene in God of thunder badass song! Peter sounded great on his drum solo. But wht do I know? I'm just a fan not a musician! 😂
Peter sounded like a goofy 10-year-old on the drum solo.
Un concierto clásico, con la banda repleta de experiencia, introduciendo novedades en su setlist, muy lejos del refrito repetitivo de la última gira de despedida 2023, que solo busca hacer caja y más caja...
A classic concert, with the band full of experience, introducing novelties to their setlist, far from the repetitive rehash of the last 2023 farewell tour, which only seeks to make cash and more cash...
My first Concert ever. Oktober 3rd 1980 , Hamburg / Germany. Special Guest Iron Maiden.
One of the first Gigs with Eric Carr.
Black Diamond performance here is Great! When Peter is into it , nothing is better
Ace killed it that night. Paul, not so much. I would even say Paul was the 4th best singer, that night.
Ace was very motivated 1977 thru 1980. just look at his output. SHOCK ME, ROCKET RIDE, 3 songs each on Dynasty & Unmasked, an amazing solo album and even the best song on THE ELDER. Peter started going down hill after BETH Sadly.
I always liked the song torpedo Girl always thought that it was very underrated in my opinion.
I don’t remember those synth sounds during peters solo.
Man, I'm exhausted just watching them. How the hell did they do this, night after night?
This is exactly the time they should have called it quits. They were trying like Hell to stay relevant. I saw them for the last time on this tour and the venue was filled with 10-12 year olds with their parent's.
I saw this tour, los Angeles Forum . Don't remember the date 📅
Man, Ace could really craft memorable solos!
37:01 That effect...sounds an awful lot like Tom Scholz' (Boston guitar player) hyperspace pedal...
