I was in the 4th grade. And THAT was how I was introduced to KISS. After that I wanted more and became a die hard fan. 17 years later, tons of KISS memorabilia, and dozens of shows in. STILL A FAN. Lol
For me the best Kiss song ! This is a great live version. Ruff, raw, loud, not perfect but i think they all knew thats why we loved them. That raunchy garage band we knew that made it big. Ace always said he played sloopy but played it 100% Paul Stanley had one of the great R&R voices imho. Dont remember much but did see them live in 1976 Up in the great white north Bangor Maine! 17 then. Now 64 and every time Strutter comes on at the jobsite I run over and crank the radio up. Truly the the good old days 60s 70s 80s Best bands. Best songs. Best musicians. We are blessed to have lived thru it. It will never happen again sadly
The way he's able to yell those words and still sound good is so impressive. It's one of my favorite abilities of singers, and Paul nails it so good during this performance.
This is one of the last original great hard rock bands and they are still touring! I love that they are still rocking hard, the world wouldn't be the same without KISS!!
I don't care too much for Tommy but that was a really good solo just as good as Ace and it's really not easy for me to say that. Tommy must have been a real fan of kiss cuz he nailed that.
@@johnmccafferty7139 Playing it "cleaner" is not better in KI$$' case. Ace is a bit sloppy, and that's part of his and the band's charm. Tommy plays it TOO perfectly.

Haaaa...esqueci do Aerosmith, a balada YOU SEE ME CRYE 1970.
My first KISS concert was at Cobo Hall in Detroit. I was 6 years old in 1975. My last concert with the original band was at Tiger Stadium in Detroit in 1996 I was 27 at the time. I've only seen the original band, I've never seen KISS with the two wannabes Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer and wouldn't want see the wannabes.
So glad and thankfull I had my teenage years in the late 70's , early 80's. I feel truly sad for my kids who have to grow up in these current f*ked up 'woke' times...
Seeing the fans dressed up like the band reminds me of the first time that I saw Kiss. About three-quarters of the way through the show a girl came up to the section we were in and sat down next to us. She was dressed perfectly as Gene. It looks like she spent so much time getting ready for the gig that she ended up missing most of it. 🥵
This is right at the level of KISS in 1976, when I first saw them. Paul is tearing up the vocals, Strutter is a hell of an opener, right up there with Detroit Rock City.
The last time I saw KISS was in 2010. I went with my best friend (we saw them 10 times) and we had an absolute blast and was outside. Even then Paul had lost a chunk of range. When their next tour was announced, we decided to never see them again. Why ruin a great memory?
Paul is singing his Muthafuckin’ ass off here! I saw them live in 1975, and Kiss was a spectacle. I saw Led Zeppelin two years later, same effect, completely different stages, the music was the star. Not the stage production.
Well it's not the best live version- But It may be Paul's last hurrah on Strutter, before his voice became weak. It's a stellar job here for this performance though!
@@RS-zp6hb No, he is not. But neither Ian Gillan nor Bruce Dickinson have that much heavy masculine, rockhard sex-appeal in their voices as Paul Stanley. And noone else combines "feminine" LOOK/show elements with masculine energy the way he does. Noone, noone compares to Paul Stanley!
Great version. Peter's playin' quiet brillant ! I am positively surprised that he's hitting the drum kit during "Alive Symphony" does anyone know the reason why ?
SAY WHAT YA WILL ABOUT PAUL STANLEY..... "RING MASTER", "BADASS FRONT MAN", "MR. ROCKSTAR SUPREME" NO ONE CAN TOP THIS MOJO. KEEP ROCKING STARCHILD...!!!!! LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE 👊🤩🤜

Chicks in platforms and tight waist to knees elephant bell blue jeans, mini-skirts or hot pants during my HS years of the early 70s...absolutely loved this KISS song "Strutter" b/c it was all about them!! Some of the best audience shots that I've seen in this video on YT!!
My kid brother bought Dressed to Kill when it came out in 72?. He joined the kiss army on the back of the album and all the kids at halloween dressed as paul stanly. I say they have made their mark for Longevity. Back then a Full Concert ticket to see Aerosmyth and Jeff Beck, was 8$ in Seattle KingDome. Pat Benatar was 2.30$ at catch a rising star in seattle. Her Guitar husband is one of the best live performers , Ever. Wish I would have seen more bands in their prime , like Van Halen, Journey, Rush, AC/DC, and a few others. That was the time to grow up and be in Music./
@@joshboevers7982 I now realize you are right....Ace left 1st The very reason I gave my NJ PNC center kiss ticket to a freind... didn't want to see them without Ace I've seen Kiss 76 77 78 96 98 and 2000....always the original 4 in makeup Wouldn't see them any other way Although I'm sorry I never saw Paul's Live to win tour....

One of my fav Kiss jams. This one always gets me going!! "She takes you home and she says maybe.
she says, maybe… baby”
The GREATEST rock song ever written!
Yeah!!!
if it wasnt for kiss davie504 wouldnt be playing bass
Who cares about him? Imagine all the great bands that wouldn’t exist without them
@@blindboygrunt7711 Yeah exactly, Kiss rocks 🤘
Wow! Ace and Peterson have still got it! 😜
peter was so much better than eric, makes me angry that they didnt ask him back....i didnt mind tommy....his playing was cleaner than aces
Sadly the video editor had too much cocaine putting this together
I think the editor was Tommy
Every Concert Home Video in 2000.. Like Carnival of Sins from Motley Crue
"K.D.S.T 🎸🎸🎵The Dust"
Yeah
With Tommy Nightmare
Oh man Paul's voice was really on fire
He sounds so freaking amazing here, it was really the last tour when he could really do it.
@@gmguitars3283 06 he tried to sing this style and it wasn’t the same
The solo time was ok the kiss show was eh
So was Aces gout 🤪
Yeah it was!
Still is man, saw them in London in 2019, he's still going strong.
Paul is the most underrated vocalist in rock.
The way he's able to yell those words and still sound good is so impressive. It's one of my favorite abilities of singers, and Paul nails it so good during this performance.
Paul really blew it out the water here. What a voice!
Easily one of their biggest underrated songs.
The most recognition it got was being included on a GTA classic rock station.
@@rhabdoviridae
Not really. The song was one of their first hits and is one of their concert staples.
@@rhabdoviridae Gta sa
You're wrong
This song is def not underrated... Check out Starry Eyes from Motley Crue for a similar vibe
This is one of the last original great hard rock bands and they are still touring! I love that they are still rocking hard, the world wouldn't be the same without KISS!!
just went to their show at the allstate arena. sucks its their last tour but i got to witness history.
Paul's best ever live version i have come across!
Take a look Sydney 80
Donington 88 is amazing too
@@SepulcroCivil14 that is next level stuff.
That was the best. Also there was a club one (Ritz '88 perhaps) on that same level. @@SepulcroCivil14
Who is here after Davie's childhood reveal?
Zacharias i am
You bet!
@@LoffysDomain yep 😂
Me
Just came here to se what started it all
Paul's voice sounded awesome here. When I saw KISS Paul's voice was still going strong but not as strong as this. This is awesome!
This is my favourite KISS song! 🤩
Definitely a banger.
This song never gets old
Just a little… dusty
@@ssssssssssssssssss50 K-DST!
One of their best, excellent sound, you rock, thanks for the upload!
Excellent sound...because it isn't live
The bassline in this song is excellent.
BASS
Walking bassline.
@@dalethelander3781 Kinda perfect for a song called "Strutter"
@@AlphaMachina I see what you did there.
Get goosebumps every fucking time I listen to this.
1:26 is like the best part of this whole song
Paul Stanley's voice was so good whenever he said the first she'll pass you by
this sounds heavier than the studio version, and I like it
I saw them several time in the mid 70s and Paul's voice would shatter glass and never sang off key!!!! He was a great front man!!!!
Paul Stanley's vocals are soooooo on point!!! Love it so much! Such a sexy song
The guys look genuinely happy there on stage.
That's damned near note for note with the original, studio recording. Damned good too.
It's because it's not live. The performance might me. But it's re-recorded
It's not exactly the hardest song to play
The singing is what's most impressive to me
@Don Avan Never said simple was bad! This is my favorite tune by them too
Hell yeah
🤔
1:15 is why I think this the best version
My favorite performance of Strutter. Paul kills it. The video is a bit much with all the cuts but the performance is top notch.
I don't care too much for Tommy but that was a really good solo just as good as Ace and it's really not easy for me to say that. Tommy must have been a real fan of kiss cuz he nailed that.
Man i was to write the same thing! 👌
Tommy has been with them for awhile he used to be there road manager I love ace but tommy really plays this alot cleaner
@@johnmccafferty7139 I'm not looking for clean I'm looking for rough rock and roll and true. That's Ace!!
@@johnmccafferty7139 a lot cleaner you say? That's not rock and roll, ain't nothing clean about rock and roll.
@@johnmccafferty7139 Playing it "cleaner" is not better in KI$$' case. Ace is a bit sloppy, and that's part of his and the band's charm. Tommy plays it TOO perfectly.
A vocal clinic by Paul Stanley!
KISS in its prime really was a force to be reckoned with. What a show!
you call this their prime? XDD
Watch videos of KISS live from '74-'78, THAT was their prime!!!
Fake Ace is not the prime of anything.
@@markjohnson1020 This is the real Peter Criss in this video.
@@jameshughes6049 I saw Thayer and immediately tuned out. Thanks for the correction. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
If you didn't live it, it's hard to imagine how big KIss was in the 70's. They really did rule the world.
In elementary school I had KISS shirts and a Paul Stanley makeup kit.

My God this is PURE FIRE
Paul always singing in his high register
damn Paul is a great singer!
"Best Version" I was NOT disappointed. Thank you.
Now that Paul said they put sound boosters on drums,I see he’s barely putting any power on sticks
GTA make them famous more than that concert.
Remember seeing these guys live in Las Venturas a few years back
Amazing performance. What year was that ?
This is right at the level of KISS in 1976, when I first saw them. Paul is tearing up the vocals, Strutter is a hell of an opener, right up there with Detroit Rock City.
Que temazo esto era buen rock and roll como debe ser un gran espectaculo no me vengan con grunge o ñu metal.
Now 2021 always with KISS !
PAUL’s VOICE!!!
STRUTTER!!!
DEUCE!!
KISS ARMY FOREVER!!!!
Too bad Ace wasn't allowed to stick around, he was 3/4 of the bands talent.
the best guitar riff
Paul was on point that night!
We can..Never, Never..let KISS stop playing....can you say... Rock and Roll...DNA Cloning ??!!! Mr Dilly ..Can !!👍🎸😎❤️
Awesome KISS still has it 48 years since their debut 1973-74 !
I can't stand Tommy but he FN nailed that Solo. I know ace is like "DAMN.that was alright.
Simple rockn roll sound
Vocal plays the best of best

Best voice in rock and roll history!
Sorry, no way. He's good but he's no Bruce Dickinson or Ian Gillan
Paul Stanley's voice is great, but Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant are the two greatest singers of all time in my opinion.
@@RS-zp6hb Bruce Dickinson. Stop it. Dungeon and dragons your favorite past time?
@@ramibaghdadi1255 I just can't listen to Zeppelin anymore. I used to love it, but it doesn't do much for me anymore.
@@RS-zp6hb
No, he is not. But neither Ian Gillan nor Bruce Dickinson have that much heavy masculine, rockhard sex-appeal in their voices as Paul Stanley. And noone else combines "feminine" LOOK/show elements with masculine energy the way he does.
Noone, noone compares to Paul Stanley!
Super annoying too quick camera angle changes. I think we all have longer than a two second attention span.
Took me a minute to realize that was Tommy Thayer while Peter was still in the band.
That was exhilirating just watching it on a video couldnt imagine seeing it live whatever year this was
I think in '96
Seems like Tommy Thayer and Peter Criss in the band at the same time. Never knew that this happened.
Almost as KickA$$ as the Vintage Performance !!!
Thanks for uploading this gem
Shut up Gene I'm f'n singing here!
¡Que buena versión! Se lucieron. Nada mejor que el rock clásico de los 70s y 80s.
One of their last truly great shows
This is a great song and still a sound check song for us to play and have fun with before a show.
I feel old. Just saw a girl taking a picture with a disposable camera. hahaha

“Strutter” (1974) was the first track on Kiss’ debut album “Kiss” (1974).
This was initially titled “Stanley the Parrot,” but when the band came up with a different groove, they changed their minds.
The tune was inspired by good-looking women in New York City, who wore sexy clothes. In 1974, there were piles of introspective lyrics, but not on Kiss’ LPs‼️ 💙🎶💚
