On December 22nd 1973, Paul Stanley was 21, Gene Simmons was 24, Peter Criss was 28 (two days after his birthday), and Ace Frehley was 22. Kiss was young and totally energetic when they first performed in clubs in 1973. WOAH!!!!! 🤘🎸🥁💋
@@DMSProduktions You're most welcome! I'm a sucker for concert footage of KISS prior to 1976...the 1973 - 1975 era, and the first three studio albums prove they had what it takes from the beginning. It's rather disappointing that the original lineup unraveled in such a manner.
This is amazing! I remember seeing it for the first time about twelve or thirteen years ago on Kissology Vol. I, when my "Flaming Youth" started to burn up. It is incredible how they were all set and ready for stardom. Incredible how raw the sound is, how Gene's vocals sound. And all about the moves that were already there almost fifty years back from now... What a journey this might have been. I feel blessed! Forever, and always.
Great plan! That is a herculean effort for any band with no record deal and very little money. They had it down tight from day one. Clearly there is no way to go but up! This time next year its a solid 50 years and it will be a well deserved celebration of colossal achievement. Enjoy it guys! The after party will be mega!
In 1977 I had tickets for my very first concert and they were for Elvis last concert but my Uncle told my Ma that it would be to dangerous. So I gave away the tickets and got tickets to see my favorite rock band “KISS” I was 17 and my Mother went with me. Judas Priest opened for them and there was no security at Roberts Stadium in Evansville Indiana. It was insane the fans were very wild & scary too. Lewd behavior was going on but the concert was incredible. After that Judas Priest was my 2nd favorite rock band. I remember my Mum grabbing plastic she found and cramming in her ears telling me to do the same. She said I’d lose my hearing. She was such a sweet Mom to go with me and it was a very memorable 🎶. Thank you for sharing 👍👍 Stay safe healthy and happy ❤️✝️🇺🇸 Merry Christmas ✝️🎄
@@Spokenfan Thanks for sharing your story! Nice to hear a personal story from a pivotal point in music history, the industry and its business. Elvis dies in Aug, Skynyrd crashed in Oct. Punk was at a bit of its peak. The 80s were on the horizon and a new sound came with it for the decade it was to be itself. 🤘 Rock on brother! Best wishes!
This is amazingly impressive, it's as if they emerged fully formed from the womb, the love-child of the blazing guitar of Jimi Hendrix, and the recent sire of heavy metal, Black Sabbath.
Kiss was way ahead of their time when it came to the first 3 albums, songs like parasite and strange ways were so heavy for 1974, the only thing heavier at the time was Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Sabbath.
@@Spongeboobie, which problem do you have with gay people? The best artists of every kind of art during the History were gay! Leonardo da Vinci, for example.
I love this it's really beautiful I love it I'm sorry I can't go see you at your last concert but I will always love you very much Happy birthday to Peter even if he's not here!❤️
I would have seen them in 1977 but somehow I got in trouble and was grounded... My Hippy Babysitter was giong to take me ... but I don't know what happened.. total bummer. I did eventually see them in 1996!
Comment: - As an article in Creem succinctly stated: "The Brats, KISS and Teenage Lust are now performing in Coventry, with a host of average Queens bands for the evening." This December 1973 article by Dave Marsh provided an excellent insight into the then-current New York the glitter scene. He was somewhat more mixed in describing the band: "This group looks like they just stepped out of an underground Pink Flamingos movie, which leads me to believe that I was right all along when I thought the glitter madness was an ugliness contest. But KISS Music it sounds like the most thoughtful, controlled sound around, and the stage show is just as professional” (Creem, 12/73). - While this show was also recorded on video, just like the 12/22 concert, only two songs survive on tape....but in much better image quality than is currently here !!! These two preserved songy from the tape were also on RUclips, but they are no longer there!!!
You can get the whole concert on KISSOLOGY 3. And just now, I looked it up and there it was on RUclips. So its still there, just maybe hard to find sometimes. I think the full show has 5 or 6 songs maybe more. Also, a song appears on KISSOLOGY 1 as an easter egg. Just click on KISS. That paragraph from CREEM is amazing. I wish I had run across that. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanksgiving 2019 I told my oldest sister that she failed me. I explained that back in 1975 KISS played at the Cap Center in Largo, MD twice that year (May and again in November) and that she failed to get me to either one of those shows. She didn't see it that way. I did, after 45 years finally see them live. I saw them as part of the End of the Road tour August 2019 at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow VA.
This was obviously before they were even a household name in Queens, let alone NYC. And they absolutely sounded as tight and raw as Alive I. I can only imagine how great those early times were. And those clubs too, throughout NY and LA and everywhere else where a band could launch themselves... if they had what takes. It's very different today unfortunately.
Yep, the whole concert was included on KISSTORY 3, BUT...and a lot of people don't realize this, a couple of songs were included in the KISSTORY 1 as an easter egg. KISSTORY 1 was the best collection, of course.
You know, somebody actually uploaded footage of the full show, but it was taken down sadly. No idea why, I’m just sad we don’t have the first video recorded kiss show. If you find an alternative link that has the full show, PLEASE put it in replies for this comment.
I agree. After Dynasty, I was sure they would put out a hard rocker. The Elder confused me. But by then, I was already a big fan of Van Halen and The Blizzard of Oz. So my heart wasn't broken that bad. I found it hilarious that no other members of KISS were inducted into the Hall of Fame, although they should have inducted Eric Carr.
You can already here the mystery and see the magic here. It was so different and so mysterious to us. I saw them in 1977 in Detroit and they were killing it..... but already the commercialism and colors were setting in and changing them.

me too
They are awesome, category of great songs and albums no doubt!

When you see this you know who inspired the late 70s, following 80s bands and fed them with ideas: The hottest band in the world KISS
I was thinking the same thing. I'm a big Metallica fan and I can definitely see the influence KISS had on them.
This gig was played on my mum's 34th birthday! \m/
(It's her 83rd today!!! )
it was played on my brother's 4th b-day
@@independenceltd. Cool! I was 4 in 1973 also!
Happy belated birthday to your mom, and you other birthday celebrating folks!

In the 1980s bootlegs on vhs was making the rounds for the serious collectors. Even if the quality was terrible, it was still cool to watch.
My grandma died recently and I know she liked this music. Thank you for giving g my grandma something g yo enjoy during her hardships.
that makes me feel SOOOOOOOO OLD your GRANDMA???? geesh DAMMMMNNN!!!!
Kisses f****** awesome I've been listening to kiss since the first started 7170 and I'm still listening to him back in 2022 at 64 years old
Before all the money, they were one hell of a band...

it's so good to see the evolution of KISS
I look forward to Monsters of Rock in Brazil just to see this wonderful band 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
this is truly KISStory..
Where it all began. This is nearly 50 years old now. Only a month left till the band's 50th anniversary
They had their sound locked in. Awesome.
Jeez , almost 50 years ago ...I doubt any of them thought they would still be wearing makeup and costumes into their 70s .
I was born 10 months before this performance. I crawled out of my crib and took the train from Brooklyn to Queens to see this.
Very cool! I was 5 myself....
how they corrupted our youth LOL !
This is amazingly impressive, it's as if they emerged fully formed from the womb, the love-child of the blazing guitar of Jimi Hendrix, and the recent sire of heavy metal, Black Sabbath.
Womb, love child, sire.
Gene doesn't look for that kind of action anymore, sweetie. Sorry. 🙁
Kiss was way ahead of their time when it came to the first 3 albums, songs like parasite and strange ways were so heavy for 1974, the only thing heavier at the time was Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Sabbath.
Also Queen and Sweet.

El mejor grupo que existe y que exitira nunca FELICIDADES KISS DESDE ESPAÑA 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸❤
Loved how halfway thru they just turned towards each other and kept playing n signing. Love it
I love this it's really beautiful I love it I'm sorry I can't go see you at your last concert but I will always love you very much Happy birthday to Peter even if he's not here!❤️
I was 8 years old when they sang this but still saw them in 1977 in concert....
I would have seen them in 1977 but somehow I got in trouble and was grounded... My Hippy Babysitter was giong to take me ... but I don't know what happened.. total bummer. I did eventually see them in 1996!
Ace is phenomenal!
It sounds just like the record. That says alot considering there was no faking it back then.
I was 5 years old at this time , discovered KISS when I was 7 , and still blasting KISS at almost 55 years old
I was four when this was recorded, the first music I remember listening to was Kiss alive on 8 track tape
the best blessings for my favorite band Kiss the best 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎧🥰😍🙏.

My favourite band since 1974 and still is.🤟🤟
I was there. 18 yrs old. Met Gene. Knew him for 35 years thereafter. Great man.
I hope technology can one day enhance this vid. It would be amazing to see history being made in high definition !
Lo mejor de lo mejor felicidades Kiss desde Puebla Puebla México
What I wouldnt give to go back in time and be there
I love this group! Very interesting archival record!🔥🔥👍🎸

The best band
Обалдеть какие Вы древние 😁как Динозавры. Я родилась в 1975. Но позже Вы стали лучше
Best Christmas present ever! Thanks Kiss!
They Had The Formula For Success From The Very Beginning!!!
a couple of hundred years from now, they'll still have their fans
thx for the recording and upload
This is AWESOME !!!! 😎👍

I was a senior at Forest Hills H.S. and took the Q60 Bus down Queens Blvd. to the show and knew America and the world better be ready!!!
All newly hatched. Awww, they are just darling! \m/
I love seeing the early choreography.. not totally tight but you see their early moves!
If only we could go back in time, maybe 77 Kiss tour is my pick.
Almost 50 years ago!!!
I have this from the first DVD box set

Haha still working out the Cold Gin intro it looks like.. "This song is for every alcoholic in New York City"
Is this the earliest known footage of KISS performing?
С ДНЁМ РОЖДЕНИЯ ПОЛ !!!👏👏👏🥂🍾🎂
Thanks from Ukraine. You are great.
Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo para ti y para tu familia también adiós, kiis
Always loved the deuce dance routine.....

simply the best
Amazing!!!🎸🤟🏻
Loved it then love it now.!!! 💓💓💓💓❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing! This is great!
I'm surprised they are allowing comments. Normally, they're shut off. Must be doing some light consensus data research
they were fired up. young and hungry and even in tune. wish i was there.
Back when they were really KISS 🤘🤘🤘🙌
Hey!!! Watch it!!! Them’s fightin’ words!
For real though!!! I wish I could’ve seen them in their hay day
The First kissologie! The old Testament of Rock! 🤘
I wished I was there🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This I believe, is the earliest footage I have ever seen
Amazing!!!
KISS NATION !
KISS 💋 this the Kiss i fell in love with back in 75 . Kiss up to Dynasty is all i care snd love
I agree. After Dynasty, I was sure they would put out a hard rocker. The Elder confused me. But by then, I was already a big fan of Van Halen and The Blizzard of Oz. So my heart wasn't broken that bad. I found it hilarious that no other members of KISS were inducted into the Hall of Fame, although they should have inducted Eric Carr.
Love it Kiss Guys
Wow, please ❤
These guys were bon to do this, born genius!
That’s a good song
would love to see this whole show :)
i'm so happy that kiss came to detroit a few years back to this day my favorite band of all time keep rocking kiss and good luck on retirement 🫡🤟🏻
49 years ago! Just hard to believe it's been that long and it's still a great song!
Yes!!! It still rocks!
To the greatest band room of
all time
❤❤ I love duce
This is Artefact
Long life KISS
Its so cool😎
Next year will be 50 Years of KI⚡️⚡️
When they performed this, 50 years ago to them, WW1 had been over for 6 years and the great depression was 6 years away.
cooollll. IM LOVE KIISSSSSSS
😝🤟 live Kiss ✨
Still amazed that I'm as old as I am!!!!
KISS ARMY 4 LIFE 🇺🇸
после книги Пола, это впечатляет 😢❤
Kiss rules the rock and roll of all times
You can already here the mystery and see the magic here. It was so different and so mysterious to us. I saw them in 1977 in Detroit and they were killing it..... but already the commercialism and colors were setting in and changing them.
It will be sad when they are not a band anymore
Paul and Gene both say that when they are too old, they will hire a new Batman and Starchild to take their place. This band may last forever.
Classic KISS music!!!
In 1973, I was a kid buying Wacky Package stickers. I had no interest in music except 45s by Cher and Elton John .
Kiss Is Born yeah !!!
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 put 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
And 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

And I STILL have no idea what Gene meant by, "he's worth a deuce".
They’re such beautiful men
If ever there was a band that meant for arenas, it was these guys. You can see them trying to bust out of that tiny stage.

Y llegó momento de decir adiós... 😢😢
