You should do ‘I still love you’ KISS MTV unplugged the music is awesome but Paul is the standout in this performance. His voice is jaw dropping in it.
Kiss was a huge inspiration for Rammstein, who, because they were on the Soviet side of the Berlin Wall, could access their music via bootleg recordings and when they were able to surreptitiously listen to forbidden western radio. They loved the music and the theatrical performances. Years later, Rammstein supported Kiss on their 1999 Latin American tour, and the rest is history. Today, Rammstein has gained a worldwide fan base through their unrivaled musicianship and insane live performances. Thank you, Kiss! ❤
HLW was originally written for Rod Stewart but they decided to keep it 😆 Nice ! Way to go. And having it sung by Criss, you can almost hear what the song would have been if sung by Stewart 😄
What I love about these old live videos is that they disprove Paul’s and Gene’s contention that Peter couldn’t play. Peter was excellent. Sure, his demons overcame him, but you can’t deny the original foursome created genuine magic. Glad you’re discovering them!
I was born 1966 started liking kiss Halloween night 1976. I can't stand hearing Paul and Gene saying this is the best kiss has been. BULLS___. 70S KISS IS UNBELIEVABLE BRO. FROM MUSIC TO PERFORMANCE 👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is awesome! YOU are the only guy doing these bro...this was when I discovered KISS, I was in 5th grade and my parents let me stay up and watch the Midnight special haha.. Peter Criss had such a great voice, Rod Stewart was his idol and he tried to emulate him! He also sings "Hard Luck Woman" "Beth" (of course) "Baby Driver" and "Strange Ways"..and a few others. GREAT singer..
I’m just glad I stumbled on this because it gave me such a respect for KISS that I never knew! So glad you are enjoying it and thanks for hanging out! 🔥
@@setonhillstudios Dude for sure! Their early stuff is SO heavy so killer. You asked at one point..THEY ALL SING!!? Yes, they do. The original intention of the group was to be like the Beatles. All four members sing, all for members write songs. But, it took years before they could get ACE to sing haha. But, he did write some one of their best songs early on...PARASITE! Check out the Live version from (live in San Francisco 1975) it's a hell of a rocker, it's from the Album Hotter than Hell. In a nutshell this is what happened with them. They put out three initial studio albums. Kiss, Hotter Than Hell, Dressed to Kill...but they did not sell very well. They were not recorded very well, but ppl were flocking to their shows! So, as a last ditch effort they decided to do a hail mary and did a LIVE album, recorded in Detroit! I am from Detroit, I was not old enough to go, I was 12 but many of my friends older brothers and sisters went to the show! The album BLEW up! they became the BIGGEST band in the country after that....then though, their next album they took a completely different direction and hired Bob Ezrin to Produce it. He had done a bunch of Alice Cooper albums. He was great, but he changed their sound and ALL the OG Kiss fans hated it haha...but still a great album, Destroyer. When you get a chance check out some stuff from their 1975 Cobo Hall shows in Detroit, that is the stuff that went onto KISS Alive album. Here is the link for the Winterland show in SF! Sorry for rambling, I love OLD Kiss....thx man I'll be watching! ruclips.net/video/lxeD4fmM33s/видео.html
Very good, but I like Black Diamond and Hard Luck Woman better, just my opinion!!! Peter Criss is my personal favorite drummer ever though, along with Mick Fleetwood, and Lindsey Buckingham and Ace are my favorite guitarists 🎸 ever!!!
This is what all us kids back in the early to mid 70's fell in love with. My bedroom was lined with KISS posters and I had their music blasting in my room driving my family crazy all the time.
God of Thunder; Love Gun; Hotter than Hell; Strutter; Deuce; Cold Gin; Do You Love Me?; Firehouse; Rock Bottom; Let Me go, Rock N' Roll - That'll keep you busy for a while. Oh, there's more.
Kiss’s first 3 albums were phenomenal!!!!!!! I don’t care that the critics called them simple and that they were just a gimmick. Jimi Hendrix said life was a gimmick!!!!! Watch KISS in 1975-76 pre Destroyer concert and they blow the roof of the place . Strutted, Firehouse , Cold Gin , Watching You are bad ass songs . I went from KISS to Zeppelin and I was in love with R’n’R from then on . Rock on brother.
Black diamond, one of my favorite KISS songs of all time. Especially the live performances “100,000 years” is a great one too. But if u haven’t yet. Please react to KISS unplugged performance of “I still love you”. It will blow ur mind.
And suddenly, hundereds of thousands of Kiss fans were born, after seeing this performance! Check out them performing "Firehouse ", on The Mike Douglas Show, from around this time period. It's TV, it's raw, and it's Live! Pretty cool..
Other songs that Peter sang lead on: shared lead on Nothing To Lose; Mainline; Strange Ways; Getaway; Beth; Hard Luck Woman; Baby Driver; Hooligan; Dirty Livin'.
KISS from '75 to '78 ROCKED their live performances! Especially with Ace's "smoking" guitar solos! Check out Cold Gin from their 1977 Tokyo Japan video!!!
My intro to rock, "Black Diamond" - KISS, "Whole Lotta Love" - Zeppelin and "Black Sabbath" - Sabbath. At age 9. The day that blew my mind. 56 years ago. Been a headbanger since. KISS, ZEP and Sabbath! Can't get any better introduction than metal than that.
Honestly I love all eras of Kiss, but the special thing about them is how they pursued a lot of different sounds throughout their 50 year legacy. Definitely need to check out their music chronologically! Dirty Livin is my favorite Kiss song and is on the Dynasty record
At the end of the song you can see how much of an impact The Who had on early KISS. Kicking off the drum set and smashing the guitar was their trademark.
The drum kit was brand new. Bill Aucion mentioned it in an interview. Money was still tight at this point and nobody was amused that Peter destroyed his drum kit.
Each Kiss member had a solo album… Gotta check them out! Peter Criss was my favorite member I was 10 when Kiss hit the scene! And became a life long fan!
Peter Criss was an old school jazz bebop, swing schooled drummer. Google the photo from the 60s of Peter Criss, Gene Kruppa, and Jerry Nolan (other notable 70s drummer) all standing together. Epic photo!
Suggestion? Look at the video of kiss at Anaheim stadium 1976 black diamond version or Madison square garden 1977 ...they add a little tweak to the bridge and the energy will give you goose bumps.
When you hear the harmonies, yeah they can and did. Peter had a real gravelly sound. Loved his voice. Baby Driver is a good one to listen to from an album called Rock n' Roll Over. Peter sings lead on that.
Peter Criss sang the bands 1st number 1 hit off Destroyer called Beth......also check out hard luck woman,baby driver,mainline,nothin to lose,strange ways
Peter Criss saved KISS with Beth, a ballad he wrote and sung on that made them megastar when previously they had a good reputation as a great live band but their albums didn't sell.
This is the line-up I was introduced to, in my early teens. I became a member of their fan club & KISS Army way back then! I can’t recall exactly how many albums I have, but it’s excessive! My favourites are the live double albums. I’ve been lucky enough to see them live many times,,& never been disappointed. Hell of a band!
Peter also sang Beth and Hard Luck Woman, among others. Peter was a great singer. Also, if you haven't heard Peter's solo album, check it out. He's got a great voice.
Dick Clark was the first to put KISS on TV.. Check out some of those. Love'dm Leave'em or I Love It Loud. Want Ace lead vocals? Tdy Shock Me or New York Grove. Paul I Stole Your Love live!
When they were clawing their way up, they played with a very different intensity. And yeah, Pete had a great, raspy rock and roll voice perfect for that era. Years later, Paul would write a song called "Hard Luck Woman" and when I used to listen to it as a 7 year-old, I always wondered why they wanted to record a song with Rod Stewart on vocals. Well, it was Peter singing the song and years later I found out that Paul had intended to turn the song over to Rod when it was finished, but Peter said "no way" and claimed it for himself.
YEP. KISS 1973-1977 was a hungry beast, raw and dangerous rock n roll. When they put imposters in Ace and Peter’s makeup, they became a tribute band. For more of Peter’s voice, watch ‘Hard Luck Woman’ performed on Paul Lynde’s 70s Halloween Special. It’s enjoyable to get a person’s first watches of the real KISS. A lot of people use them to build their platform. For me, Stryper’s the Christian equivalent of KISS with decades of great music. If you want your mind further blown, check out ‘Transgressor’ ‘Do Unto Others’ ‘To hell With The Devil’ ‘The Way’ and ‘Soldiers Under Command’ . LET’S GO!
If they’re imposters, then maybe the two druggie shouldn’t of sold their make up rights for drugs and alcohol money Eric and Tommy are 1 million times more reliable than the junkie twins
saw them in 75. as a 15 year old i was blown away. yes people take cheap shots now, [those who were not there usually] but in 1975 they were something else!
@@dubkjayboth wear colorful costumes…both play music…both were ostracized by critics…both were against drugs and alcohol (for the most part). Both are practically bedfellows, but I won’t mention them in the same sentence.
Yeah, they all can sing. Ace was reluctant at first but eventually took the lead on Rocket Ride, Shock Me, 2000 Man and more. They wanted him to sing Cold Gin back in the day but he didn't feel comfortable so he left it to Gene. During the reunion tour Ace sang the second verse, making me wish he'd done the lead on that one all along. For a different sound by Peter, check out "Hard Luck Woman." For something closer to this, check out "Nothin' To Lose."
I'm 51, didn't see KISS until 1983 unfortunately, but I was a young student of that Alive!/Alive II era before I ever saw them in person. For every "KISS sucks, how did you like them?" person I send out a vid of this particular era, up until '77. Those 4 or 5 years were ridiculous.

This was so EPIC! This performance was unreal and I love checking out KISS! What is next from them?
The very early days when they were playing in clubs, they had a few guys standing around the drum riser and a rope and pulley type of device and during the end of that song these guys would each be pulling these ropes raising, I wouldn't call it 'levitating' lol, the drums which were kinda shaky on the way both up and down since they had no way of knowing what was actually going on so it wasn't synchronized at all. The funniest part was when they approached the very low ceiling, it was a small club in a hotel remember, called a club because it had tables, chairs and of course alcohol, LoL, Pete would have to duck down lower and lower while still performing or trying to, LoL 😆
Hadda Live that!!!
"Guys... GUYS!!! HEYYY!!!
Not the only time they had a malfunction though, Gene would have a harness hooked to his costume that when pulled would lift him up into the lights and deposit him on a platform where he would sing God of Thunder... Hopefully, LoL. One night the cable tangled in the winch device like they sometimes do and stopped 3/4 of the way up. He motioned down, then DOWN!!! So they started to lower it but it again hung up about 6' lower most definitely NOT a happy Demon. Close ups showed the look of intense fear in his face. Eventually, they did get him all the way up and on the platform though. I don't think he HAS to take the cables back down. If so, nor after that night I'd bet. Check RUclips for the clip. It's on there. Nobody misses anything these days.
You should do ‘I still love you’ KISS MTV unplugged the music is awesome but Paul is the standout in this performance. His voice is jaw dropping in it.
gets really good when they bring out the original members
Kiss was a huge inspiration for Rammstein, who, because they were on the Soviet side of the Berlin Wall, could access their music via bootleg recordings and when they were able to surreptitiously listen to forbidden western radio. They loved the music and the theatrical performances. Years later, Rammstein supported Kiss on their 1999 Latin American tour, and the rest is history. Today, Rammstein has gained a worldwide fan base through their unrivaled musicianship and insane live performances. Thank you, Kiss! ❤
So true
You can't go wrong with ANY 70's era live KISS performances.
Truth
Agreed
Hard Luck Woman...Peter sings it and it's a great song, one of my favorites
Also, "Baby Driver " for more Peter Chris Vocals
Strange ways
HLW was originally written for Rod Stewart but they decided to keep it 😆 Nice ! Way to go. And having it sung by Criss, you can almost hear what the song would have been if sung by Stewart 😄
Peter Criss was frickin amazing and fantastic and the best!!!
Peter Criss was by far the best voice in the band!!!!
With you being a drummer, I think you would really appreciate 100,000 Years.
1000% cobo hall performance is a MUST watch and let me go rock and roll!
Yes boy. 100.000 years is enormous but it could be great an shot to the magnificent "Whatching you" at Cabo Hall.
(Edited. All ready donne)
Easily one of their best songs ever…this whole performance was magic
💯 Absolutely amazing! Thanks for watching!
What I love about these old live videos is that they disprove Paul’s and Gene’s contention that Peter couldn’t play. Peter was excellent. Sure, his demons overcame him, but you can’t deny the original foursome created genuine magic. Glad you’re discovering them!
Was a fan from '74 on, and will always say: Gene & Paul played rock-n-roll, Ace & Peter WERE rock-n-roll.
I agree!!!! Peter Criss shows why he was so damn great, drumming and vocals!!!!
❤Kiss and Peter Cris bringing down the house in the 70's! He had a great voice and I don't care what anybody says, he could rock the drum set! 🤘
The GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD KISS😀
Peter Criss--"Nothin' to Lose". Great vocals
I’ve always loved Peter Criss’s voice on this tune. He was a good sound for that band.
He also famously sang their biggest selling song, the original rock ballad, Beth.
I seen this tv show! It was So Awesome! Everyone was a kiss fan in my era! Glad a cat like you can see and hear great rock n roll!
PETER CRISS DRUM SOLO SONG.... "100,000 YEARS" FROM ALIVE ALBUM 👍👍👍👍
I was born 1966 started liking kiss Halloween night 1976. I can't stand hearing Paul and Gene saying this is the best kiss has been. BULLS___. 70S KISS IS UNBELIEVABLE BRO. FROM MUSIC TO PERFORMANCE 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pete always had the most metal voice. Loved his rasp! Sounds like thrash metal from the 80's!
A lot of people make fun of KISS now a days, but just imagine seeing this in person in the mid 70's. It's was a completely mind blowing show.
I did. Mind blowing is an understatement!
Absolutely!
1975 I was 12 lmfao my friend had the Alive LP and we rocked it in his basement.
This is awesome! YOU are the only guy doing these bro...this was when I discovered KISS, I was in 5th grade and my parents let me stay up and watch the Midnight special haha..

Strange Ways is probably my favorite Peter song.
Me too.
Strange Ways Killer Song!!
Very good, but I like Black Diamond and Hard Luck Woman better, just my opinion!!! Peter Criss is my personal favorite drummer ever though, along with Mick Fleetwood, and Lindsey Buckingham and Ace are my favorite guitarists 🎸 ever!!!
So glad you're experiencing the greatest band that ever set foot on stage
This is what all us kids back in the early to mid 70's fell in love with. My bedroom was lined with KISS posters and I had their music blasting in my room driving my family crazy all the time.
Cool! I Had Posters All Aroubd Our Room. Still Have Them All. Go to kiss postes ..🙂
Same, I hear you and I feel you
Peter Criss sang Beth, Nothing to Lose, Mainline, Hard Luck Woman and several others.
Don't forget Strange Ways, and Houlagan as well!!!!
God of Thunder; Love Gun; Hotter than Hell; Strutter; Deuce; Cold Gin; Do You Love Me?; Firehouse; Rock Bottom; Let Me go, Rock N' Roll - That'll keep you busy for a while. Oh, there's more.
Waaaaayyyyyy more!!!!!!👍

Yes you’ve got to hear and listen to 100,000 years if you’re the drummer that you are he has a drum solo in there that is absolutely amazing
Black diamond, one of my favorite KISS songs of all time. Especially the live performances
“100,000 years” is a great one too. But if u haven’t yet. Please react to KISS unplugged performance of “I still love you”. It will blow ur mind.
Second that, gotta do the Unplugged performance of "I Still Love You" to hear Paul at his vocal peak!
The whole performance on the Midnight Special is great!
💯 All 3 tunes were so good! I reviewed them all here on the channel if you haven’t seen them! Thanks for hanging out! 😁
Black Diamond live will always be my favorite KISS track!
I agree, I always said, Kiss Black Diamond, Zeppelin Stairway, the Who Barba O'Reilly, and Fleetwood Mac Go Your Own Way, live are the best!!!!
And suddenly, hundereds of thousands of Kiss fans were born, after seeing this performance! Check out them performing "Firehouse ", on The Mike Douglas Show, from around this time period. It's TV, it's raw, and it's Live! Pretty cool..
You didn't see KISS, you experienced the show. They were my first concert Dec 2 1976 at the Mid South Collesium in Memphis.
Hell yeah 🤘
They were my first show too! August of 1979, mid south coliseum, memphis tennessee :)
@@JeffMitchell-lv4zx I wouldn't go see the other years without Peter and Ace, there's nothing else like the originals 🤘✌️
My first concert too! December 2009!
September 6, 1976 here in Toronto!
They all sing, and sing very well!!!!!!
Peter had the best Whisky smoker scream. KISS was killing it here!!!! Love the reaction!!
Absolutely in their Prime, hungry, looking to be the best they could and they were young!
So cool to see someone discovering what we knew all along! The hottest band in the world...KISS!!!
I love Gene's classic bass slides in this song and "She"!
Yes! So cool! 🔥
Other songs that Peter sang lead on: shared lead on Nothing To Lose; Mainline; Strange Ways; Getaway; Beth; Hard Luck Woman; Baby Driver; Hooligan; Dirty Livin'.
all bangers!!!
@@jamgee4402 I have no idea what a "banger" is.
(Yes, I am old.)
@@willhorting5317 great song!
@@jamgee4402 oh, ok. Hahaha
@@willhorting5317 Short for headbanger.
Cris never got the respect he should... guys rock solid...
Agreed, most underrated and underappreciated drummer ever!!!!
KISS from '75 to '78 ROCKED their live performances! Especially with Ace's "smoking" guitar solos! Check out Cold Gin from their 1977 Tokyo Japan video!!!
My intro to rock, "Black Diamond" - KISS, "Whole Lotta Love" - Zeppelin and "Black Sabbath" - Sabbath. At age 9. The day that blew my mind. 56 years ago. Been a headbanger since. KISS, ZEP and Sabbath! Can't get any better introduction than metal than that.
Peter’s voice helped get him the gig. Next song? Shock Me off Alive 2. Ace sings AND has a guitar solo! Peace ☮️
Love that Gene moves the mic stand like, yeah this shit is getting ready to pick up.
Imagine seeing this as a 10-year-old boy mouth wide open bug-eyed holy s*** I couldn't believe what I was witnessing
That's how I felt as a 29 yr old in 1996 MSG Reunion. I was 8 years old again having a Kiss concert in my bedroom
Honestly I love all eras of Kiss, but the special thing about them is how they pursued a lot of different sounds throughout their 50 year legacy. Definitely need to check out their music chronologically!
Dirty Livin is my favorite Kiss song and is on the Dynasty record
Amazing song - amazing band! I will miss going to KISS concerts :( Yes, all the original members sang well.
This is for GENE and PAUL that said PETER can't play drums .
Peter and Ace were very important in the first band' years.
Best live rock band EVER. Period! Come fight me about it, haters!!!
At the end of the song you can see how much of an impact The Who had on early KISS. Kicking off the drum set and smashing the guitar was their trademark.
Yesssss! That was EPIC! 🔥
And Paul doing Pete's "windmill" move with his arm.
The drum kit was brand new. Bill Aucion mentioned it in an interview. Money was still tight at this point and nobody was amused that Peter destroyed his drum kit.
By Far My Favorite KISS Song and this is a Great Version!
Another great vid of Peter singing live is "Hooligan" live in Houston '77. He has a badass voice, and he kills it on this clip. Great reactions!
Sweet! Gotta check that out! Really appreciate it!
6/75 Asbury Park Convention Center on boardwalk. Great show in a small setting.
I got to see the original members in early 2000s reunion.
I went from liking them to loving them.
So cool! Wish I could have seen them live! Epic!!! 🔥
1976 I Went Nuts!! 🤗🙂
"Got to choose" should be next
Kiss of '70's are fantastic rock-metal band🤘
This was so EPIC! This performance was AMAZING! KISS IT ´S TERRIFIC BAND ALL TIMES FOREVER
It's great to see people discover stuff like this.
This was a banger for sure! 🔥
Each Kiss member had a solo album… Gotta check them out! Peter Criss was my favorite member I was 10 when Kiss hit the scene! And became a life long fan!

When you hear the harmonies, yeah they can and did. Peter had a real gravelly sound. Loved his voice. Baby Driver is a good one to listen to from an album called Rock n' Roll Over. Peter sings lead on that.
I believe that is my favorite album from the '70s! Rock and roll over had the best guitar riffs.
I don't know, it's a toss-up between love gun and rock and roll over.
Got Nothin to Lose-Peter Criss!
First time I’m experiencing the real Kiss too! Awesome
Peter Criss has my favorite singing voice in KISS ❤
Nothing to lose - best Peter Criss
70's Kiss is awesome
For sure! Loved this performance! 🔥
Nothing like 70s era KISS, of course every band that came from the 70s were at their best.
For more of Peter check out Hard Luck Woman live,
He tossed a sweet ass kit. Yard sale at Peter Chris's house
Peter Criss sang the bands 1st number 1 hit off Destroyer called Beth......also check out hard luck woman,baby driver,mainline,nothin to lose,strange ways
Oh cool! Appreciate the insight and the recommendations!
I'm just sittin' here, smilin'!
Rock Bottom is an excellent 70s Kiss track. Even the Unplugged version
I'm 64 & I get a kick outta watching you & your reaction to them
KEEP ROCKING AND ROLLING ALL NIGHT!!!
Thanks so much for watching and glad you are enjoying the content!
KISS had two 1974 TV appearances you can find on YT, "In Concert" and "The Mike Douglas Show".
Peter Criss saved KISS with Beth, a ballad he wrote and sung on that made them megastar when previously they had a good reputation as a great live band but their albums didn't sell.
Just listen to KISS ALIVE! Over and over and over like I do...hahahaha
Original member of the KISS army here, they were Gods to 12 year old me in to 70s.
I fell in love with KISS way back in February 1976. Alive album was my introduction and it changed my music world.
Peter Criss Songs:
Top 5 - Black Diamond, Hard Luck Woman, Beth, Strange Ways, Hooligan.
Notable Mentions - Dirty Livin', Nothing To Lose (with Gene Simmons), Baby Driver, Getaway.
This is the line-up I was introduced to, in my early teens. I became a member of their fan club & KISS Army way back then!
I can’t recall exactly how many albums I have, but it’s excessive!
My favourites are the live double albums. I’ve been lucky enough to see them live many times,,& never been disappointed. Hell of a band!
Greatest band to ever grace the stage. Life long kiss fan. Brilliant
This is a really cool channel you have bro. Long live the mighty KISS!
Really appreciate that!
This was always one of my fav Kiss songs.
Peter also sang Beth and Hard Luck Woman, among others. Peter was a great singer. Also, if you haven't heard Peter's solo album, check it out. He's got a great voice.

My favorite song of theirs from their best era.
This rocked! Can’t wait to hear more from them! 🤘🏻
They all can sing. All 4 released solo albums on the same day
They could sing once a while ago
Ace was always a bit iffy, I don't know how they got his vocals to sound so good on his solo album.
These guys were the real deal in the 70's. The breakdown ending slowly modulates to lower octaves on the album version. Dark and badass.
KISS in the 70’s sounded better than all the other years they performed.
One of Peter Chris' biggest songs is a "piano ballad" called Beth. Beth wants Peter, but the boys are busy writing a song lol.... 😜
My FAVORITE Kiss song ever 🔥
Such a banger! Loved this tune! 🔥
l have been a kiss fan since 1976 and my all time favorite rock n roll album is kiss alive 1975 a must have for any kiss fan.
Cool! Me Too! Fan Since 1976 🤗

If they’re imposters, then maybe the two druggie shouldn’t of sold their make up rights for drugs and alcohol money Eric and Tommy are 1 million times more reliable than the junkie twins
saw them in 75. as a 15 year old i was blown away. yes people take cheap shots now, [those who were not there usually] but in 1975 they were something else!
..please… don’t ever… EVER.. EVA EVA EVA EVA… mention stryper in the same sentence as KISS…
@@dubkjayboth wear colorful costumes…both play music…both were ostracized by critics…both were against drugs and alcohol (for the most part). Both are practically bedfellows, but I won’t mention them in the same sentence.

Peter Criss and the rasp in his voice Baby Driver Rock n Roll Over Album. Which in my opinion is the best album of the original 4
Welcome to the time of rock greatness!!!!!
Yeah, they all can sing. Ace was reluctant at first but eventually took the lead on Rocket Ride, Shock Me, 2000 Man and more. They wanted him to sing Cold Gin back in the day but he didn't feel comfortable so he left it to Gene. During the reunion tour Ace sang the second verse, making me wish he'd done the lead on that one all along. For a different sound by Peter, check out "Hard Luck Woman." For something closer to this, check out "Nothin' To Lose."
Great song and reaction
Been a Kizz fan from the beginning to present-it is great to go back and re visit the magic of those early days 🎸
I'm 51, didn't see KISS until 1983 unfortunately, but I was a young student of that Alive!/Alive II era before I ever saw them in person. For every "KISS sucks, how did you like them?" person I send out a vid of this particular era, up until '77. Those 4 or 5 years were ridiculous.
Kiss Drummer Peter Chris has sung Beth, Nothing to Lose, Hard Luck Woman
“Beth” is the best Peter vocal . One of the greatest love songs ever written.
Absolutely is a classic! I would’ve suggested it if nobody else had.
Check out "Nothing to Lose" from their MTV unplugged concert. Peter's voice was awesome and a very entertaining performance.
