I'm not the biggest kiss fan, or anything like that, but I just gotta appreciate the raw, genuine nature of this performance. It's primal and authentic, rock n rollin'.
They were just trying so hard. I mean Paul is doing windmills in the first verse of the first song. No one was trying that hard at that time. People have never seen anything like this. They were simply obsessively determined to rock the fucking house down and pulled out all the stops to do it. They invented stops to do it!
No joke ace frehleys entrance from the second verse on is what got me to start playing guitar when I was seven. Im eighteen now and their music still carries
Ace is insanely popular and is credited for inspiring countless other guitarists. Even his solo work in known for being more popular than the rest of the other kiss members solo work. I love ace and I think he's easily gotten the credit. Enough with people saying underrated about everything
Folks use underrated too much. With all due respect. He gets tons of respect and is name checked all the time. He’s in the Rock Hall of Fame and is a superstar. Not underrated.
My mom snuck out and took a bus to SLC to see KISS in 1974 with her cousin when she was only 14, her cousin was 16 at the time and she said it was the best night of her life.
Rush and April Wine used to play at my Stepmom's highschool before they both broke out. North Bay, Ontario. Middle of nowhere. You never know who's going to make it.
Gene Simmons said he thought the guys from Rush were gay cause he said after the shows KISS would be partying it up with ready and willing groupies and Rush would just be in their hotel rooms watching TV lol
This version in Black & White is one if the most incredible shows they ever did. It totally plays into there theme of costumes and Makeup. Electrifying 🤘
Matthew Baumgarten I hear very people say that, but agree with what you said 100%. KISS' stage today is bright enough to be seen from the moon, whereas back then it was darker on stage. Granted, they were just beginning and didn't have the money to blow everything yet, but the stage being dim allowed for a band like KISS to have mystique about them that nobody could figure out. It left people in awe and wondering who the kick was that and what did I just see and hear.
Gene looks amazing he's like kabuki his stage presence is incredible, and not only does Ace kill it but what a cool costume he always had the best ones, this and the black one with the lightning bolt.
As a kid I used to get my face painted as Ace at the South Carolina state fair. Many years later in 1996, I met Ace at Manny’s Music in NYC. He was a little wasted I think 😂 but still took the time to sign my guitar case. Ace is a Rock God for sure!
On the contrary! I'm just in the process of reading the "KISS - Behind the mask" and according to that they were all about the music AND the show back then. From what I have read, it was never enoughhfor them to just do great music, it was about to make great shows for the audience. You think they succeeded? ;)
In my little town of Erie Pennsylvania, I was lucky enough to see KISS 4 times starting in 1974. They were by far THE best band I've EVER seem, and we got some headliners like Rush, Areosnith, Boston, and other major bands. But kiss, they were actually banned from playing in our fieldhouse because they burnt the ceiling LOL! And I was there, just feet away from the pyrotechnics that caused it lol.
Столько лет прошло !!!!! А мурашки по телу бегают от этой музыки! )) И никакой Black Metal с его корпс пэйнтами и сатанизмом не сравнится с этими ребятами!! Шедевр!
Благодарю в школе в 85 году были такие Чернобелые фото храню их до сих пор. мечта сбылась был на концерте пару лет назад. Привет с Одессы! кисс KISS на всегда 🤟🤟🤟⭐👏👏👏
I saw them around this time. They were an opening act for Suzi Quatro and Blue Oyster Cult in Detroit. The stage show was very primitive compared to what it became. No one really knew what to expect and they tore the place up! Suzi was pathetic following them. BOC managed to get the crowd on their side but it took awhile. I think the show cost around $4.00 for a ticket!
I saw these guys live back then in Kalamazoo. Six bucks a ticket! (hey, that's a lot for a college student!) They played three encores. After the second one, with only about forty of us left in the audience, we got another hour of music!
When KISS was KISS. Young white hot and hungry. I saw them in '75 easily one of the best rock concerts I ever saw. Isaw them again in 77 and for me the magic was gone, the band swallowed by thier stage show.
I imagine how Elvis felt the pressure when bands like Kiss, Sabbath, Aerosmith and others arose... love Elvis' songs, but I wonder how hard it was for him to compete with those new bands with way different style
FUTURESQUASH767 my nephew loves kiss he always asks me to play kiss and when deuce comes on he always wants to do that head banging he loves kiss at 4yo
Legend has it Black Sabbath went to see KISS perform in 1973 and intended to hang out after with the band. After the show they immediately left sighting “those New Yorkers were way into demonic blood goth shit” for their style.
Let's be real, probably not the most technically brilliant guitarist but an important part of the progression of the hard rock/metal guitar sound. I believe he is a bridge from the 'murky doom ' sound of Iommi to the clean sharp techniques of Eddie.
My fifth grade teacher Mr Hart let us have a “dance” where we could bring in music, this was maybe 1981... he took the effort to stipulate “...but not KISS. Anybody but KISS”

Dude...check out Cobo Hall January 1976. KISS in their PRIME
rap fan alert probs
Absolutely. I have the same sentiment.
With you on that. kiss is nothing particularly special to me but I can dig it.

Connor Reynolds I'm 47 years old and Ace is why play guitar too!
Anybody named Conner can't be cool!!! Just sayin.
Deuce is such a strong song. It never gets old.
Will always say this. Ace is one of the most underrated guitarists that ever lived. Definitely does not get the recognition he deserves.
Ace is insanely popular and is credited for inspiring countless other guitarists. Even his solo work in known for being more popular than the rest of the other kiss members solo work. I love ace and I think he's easily gotten the credit. Enough with people saying underrated about everything
He was once listed as one of rock's Top Ten guitarists.
He's not underrated at all. He gets shit tons of recognition.
Folks use underrated too much. With all due respect. He gets tons of respect and is name checked all the time. He’s in the Rock Hall of Fame and is a superstar. Not underrated.
It's def not easy to shred on so much heroin and whiskey. Ace rules
Man can you imagine seeing KISS and Rush on tour at this time? I bet those shows absolutely ruled.
RedElephantStampede Yes, my first concert. Paramount Theater, Portland, Or. $5.00, totally awesome show, great memories.
Saw Kiss in March 76, and Rush in November 77. Both great shows!
My mom snuck out and took a bus to SLC to see KISS in 1974 with her cousin when she was only 14, her cousin was 16 at the time and she said it was the best night of her life.

Ace is a guitar god...
Vinnie is
ya i wished he was he was still in kiss
That is the cool
I am still a Frehley fangirl.
I hate Gene Simmons
This version in Black & White is one if the most incredible shows they ever did. It totally plays into there theme of costumes and Makeup. Electrifying 🤘
Based!
Must have been an amazing time to be a teenager in 1974. Back when rock stars were larger than life superheroes.
Music was more creative in 1970's and with no social networks and no MTV, it left a sense of mystery behind the musicians especially Kiss!
Matthew Baumgarten I hear very people say that, but agree with what you said 100%. KISS' stage today is bright enough to be seen from the moon, whereas back then it was darker on stage.

That's so true.
Gene looks amazing he's like kabuki his stage presence is incredible, and not only does Ace kill it but what a cool costume he always had the best ones, this and the black one with the lightning bolt.
Also my favourite Ace costume ! I do think he has the most interesting stage presence.
As a kid I used to get my face painted as Ace at the South Carolina state fair. Many years later in 1996, I met Ace at Manny’s Music in NYC. He was a little wasted I think 😂 but still took the time to sign my guitar case. Ace is a Rock God for sure!
one of the hardest working bands in ROCK!
THESE GUYS ARE RAW IN YOUR FACE WAY AHEAD OF THERE TIME. BEST ROCK GROUP OF ALL TIMES.
Love the coordinated moves... great showmanship from the three guitarists.
one of the best kiss shows in black and white and the audio on this is killer
You cannot get any truer than this.
This is my favorite version of Deuce musically and visually.
3:21 Fucking AWESOME.
Iconic!!
Wilford Brimley Diabeetus
Ace is clearly not getting enough camera time on this video by far & Peter doesn't get hardly any either!
That's because it was Gene's song.
This footage is great. They weren't just all about show back then
Dave Albright so?
@@Dave_Albright AAAAAAND?
@@Dave_Albright I'm 21 and I have chest hair, so... What's the deal with that? 😂
@@Dave_Albright Have you ever tried horse shampoo? It makes hair grow faster... You can find it at beauty supplies and I think Walmart too.

My favourite KISS song, performance, video of all time
Just getting into Kiss after 27 years on the metal scene. Badd ass
When kiss was hungry and rockin hard!! This is when the whole band was awesome!!
So much energy KISS exploded on the scene in 74
In my little town of Erie Pennsylvania, I was lucky enough to see KISS 4 times starting in 1974. They were by far THE best band I've EVER seem, and we got some headliners like Rush, Areosnith, Boston, and other major bands.

3:21 one of the most iconic things from a live show KISS ARMY FOREVER saw them in San Antonio 9/8/19
Love this early KISS footage.....I'm sure people back then didn't know what to expect.
Back when they were in their prime, young, n drama free
I rocked out to KISS when I was in high school!
Imagine this was over 50!!!!!!years ago ❤ not only the look but the balls it takes to make something unique 🎉
This was awesome! Love to watch there old raw performances...brings back memories.
Столько лет прошло !!!!! А мурашки по телу бегают от этой музыки! )) И никакой Black Metal с его корпс пэйнтами и сатанизмом не сравнится с этими ребятами!! Шедевр!
Love this song!! One of my top three faves by them!! 😍💖
One of the greatest bands in the 70s!
Hard to believe Paul Stanley is only 22 years old in this clip. WOW where did the years go.
Благодарю
в школе в 85 году были такие Чернобелые фото
храню их до сих пор.
мечта сбылась
был на концерте пару лет назад.
Привет с Одессы!
кисс KISS на всегда 🤟🤟🤟⭐👏👏👏
It's in winterland 1975
Black and white footage with the makeup makes this look like a 1930s rock horror flick. Super cool
I saw them around this time. They were an opening act for Suzi Quatro and Blue Oyster Cult in Detroit. The stage show was very primitive compared to what it became. No one really knew what to expect and they tore the place up! Suzi was pathetic following them. BOC managed to get the crowd on their side but it took awhile.

Would have loved to see Kiss and The Ramones tour together (circa 1975).
@@steeltoe7773 ikr
Quatro was the wrong act to pair with KISS.
Damn you lucky bastard! :) and I only saw them live for the first time this summer!
This song is awesome...
So this is the song Ace auditioned with... nice work space dude 🤩
I saw these guys live back then in Kalamazoo. Six bucks a ticket! (hey, that's a lot for a college student!) They played three encores. After the second one, with only about forty of us left in the audience, we got another hour of music!
With the background black and dark the clear cut sound of the bass makes the song more menacing and to the point. DO IT!!
Probably my favorite video performance
Ace's favorite song!
When KISS was KISS. Young white hot and hungry. I saw them in '75 easily one of the best rock concerts I ever saw. Isaw them again in 77 and for me the magic was gone, the band swallowed by thier stage show.
A young, poor and hungry rock n roll band in it's prime. Four years later they were a rich, fat and bloated caricature of themselves.
They still rock n roll
Kinda like Guns n Roses....
Both accurate statements, literally comic book characters printed with blood.
Des ao 14 anos já curtia banda Kiss meu irmão desenhava na camiseta e vendia para os amigos eu achava muito da hora 🎸🎶🎵🎹🎸🎵🎸🎻👍💖🎸
70s kiss the best
Real Kiss!
this IS their 1975's perfornance in S.Francisco (New Mexico USA)
and this version is taken from their KISS EXPOSED home video (1987)
1:52 that was me at the beach today trying to get the water out of my ears
Sure would like to have that Gibson Firebird Paul Stanley is playing. My brother has one of the original Paul Stanley signature Ibanez PS-10's.
I was one years old when they did this show....and just saw them last month lol!!!! \m/
Спустя 45 лет я увидел их вживую....
13.03.2019 Москва!!!
I don't know how anyone cannot love KISS..... although I never got into their 80's 90's metal stint....
Gene looks so Slim!
This looks like their performance from Winterland Jan. 31st 1975...
That's because it is Winterland, the date is wrong in the video. It is 1975
I imagine how Elvis felt the pressure when bands like Kiss, Sabbath, Aerosmith and others arose... love Elvis' songs, but I wonder how hard it was for him to compete with those new bands with way different style
3:21 ICONIC KISS MOMENT ENGADGE
FUTURESQUASH767 my nephew loves kiss he always asks me to play kiss and when deuce comes on he always wants to do that head banging he loves kiss at 4yo
Lol me and my friends do this sometimes
Raw power & energy!! How would ya like to have to follow that opening act back in the day?!?!?
Rip daddy a huge kiss fan🥺🥺🥺🥺😭🥺🥺🥺
never knew they were such great MC5 worshippers back then! the influence is clearly there ...!
ever noticed no close shots of Ace
Just a few. Too few.
Jesus. This was 50 years ago. Hard to believe.
The KISS video is excellent
Finally 🧪 True Norwegian Black Metal
This is the KISS I loved and was memorized with. Gene just demolished their greatness with his greed and shit attitude.
You can see how early it was Gene and Paul forever!!❤❤❤
the only real crime here was the cameraman not focusing on Ace for at least 110% more time than he actually did
Ace tore that shit up
who else is going to the end of the road tour in july?
in 74 I was a psycho Kiss fanatic for a week
RIP STARCHILD. KISS ARMY 4 LIFE!!!
Ahhh good times... when the music was average but the energy was high... :D
KissGuitarKovers I
The music is what drives KISS, you don’t become that successful just because of energy.
Legend has it Black Sabbath went to see KISS perform in 1973 and intended to hang out after with the band. After the show they immediately left sighting “those New Yorkers were way into demonic blood goth shit” for their style.
CORRECTION TO "KISSFanxx11", this is not 1974, this is at Winterland 1-31-1975.
Early days of KICK ASS KISS!
Peter Criss' drums in this is Aces!
This is from the XPosed video.
Gene was the best performer and enjoyed it most in all of rock and roll!
That Riff
my childhood superheroes.
at about 2:00-2:10, you get a close shot of Ace
Life changing lyrics.. Baby if ya feelin good baby if ya feelin nice ya know ya man is workin hayyd he warf a dooosh
Get up
And get your grandma outta here
Pick up
Old Jim is workin' hard this year
And baby
Do the things he says to do
Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby, if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce
Honey
Don't push your man behind his years
And baby
Stop cryin' all your tears
Baby
Do the things he says to do (do it!)
Baby, if you're feeling good
Yes, baby, if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce
And baby, if you're feeling good
Yes baby, if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
Yeah!

Really cool
One word: Ace
Deuce is so fucking bad ass!!!
Where's that bastard time machine 😍 🚨
Good video
I was 2 girl in 1974
Im more of a glamrock and glitter scene fan (and punk) as oppose to general kiss fan. This is way better as that silly hair metal they made later on.
THE REAL KI⚡️⚡️
Awesome ❤

77 year.
PURE ROCK N ROLL
One and only they r badass!
Back before althe crap they throw into the shows now. Loved this time frame for rock. l
Yup. Just playing it raw. The best time.
