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 KZread for the clip. It's on there. Nobody misses anything these days.

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! ❤

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!

Peter Criss--"Nothin' to Lose". Great vocals

He also famously sang their biggest selling song, the original rock ballad, Beth.

Imagine seeing this as a 10-year-old boy mouth wide open bug-eyed holy s*** I couldn't believe what I was witnessing

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 👍👍👍👍👍👍

So glad you're experiencing the greatest band that ever set foot on stage

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..

So cool to see someone discovering what we knew all along! The hottest band in the world...KISS!!!

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.

First time I’m experiencing the real Kiss too! Awesome

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

Peter had the best Whisky smoker scream. KISS was killing it here!!!! Love the reaction!!

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.

70’s Kiss is the best

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

Nothing like 70s era KISS, of course every band that came from the 70s were at their best.

Pete always had the most metal voice. Loved his rasp! Sounds like thrash metal from the 80's!

Amazing song - amazing band! I will miss going to KISS concerts :( Yes, all the original members sang well.

KISS #1

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!

KISS in the 70’s sounded better than all the other years they performed.

1975 I was 12 lmfao my friend had the Alive LP and we rocked it in his basement.

Cris never got the respect he should... guys rock solid...

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!!!

As far as I know, Peter Criss himself played drums on the song “Dirty Livin” on the album Dynasty !

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.

Nothing to lose - best Peter Criss

Love that Gene moves the mic stand like, yeah this shit is getting ready to pick up.

This is for GENE and PAUL that said PETER can't play drums . Peter and Ace were very important in the first band' years.

This was so EPIC! This performance was AMAZING! KISS IT ´S TERRIFIC BAND ALL TIMES FOREVER

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.

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!

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."

This right here is why the Kiss Alive album was a huge hit for them and made their career. The old day (1970's) Kiss with the original line up had so much energy and attitude. It was a fun concert experience. After the Destroyer album, the only thing really worthy is the post make up single Domino.

Back when KISS was still good. Blowing up the drum is really a tribute to Keith Moon.

“Beth” is the best Peter vocal . One of the greatest love songs ever written.

KISS had two 1974 TV appearances you can find on YT, "In Concert" and "The Mike Douglas Show".

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.

He sang on Beth, Kiss’s biggest hit

Greatest band to ever grace the stage. Life long kiss fan. Brilliant

Firehouse wont disappoint. God of Thunder

The one that Peter Criss sang

Strutter , c’mon and love me and Fire House are KISS staples from the early 70s

Just listen to KISS ALIVE! Over and over and over like I do...hahahaha

Peter sang two of their biggest hits.

One of my all-time favorite songs from my all-time favorite group

Peter’s voice helped get him the gig. Next song? Shock Me off Alive 2. Ace sings AND has a guitar solo! Peace ☮️

Yes I was 15 when kiss came out. So I only knew the original band

Peter sings on "Beth" & "Nothin' To Lose". And he has a Whole Ass Solo Album,they ALL Do.

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.
