This is the biggest crowd ever played to (so not the Brazilian 1983 shows!) and it was this early in their career that they played in front of 100.000 people in St. Louis at the Kite Fly. This rare 8mm master reel captures the spirit of this day perfectly.


Michigan Palace, Detroit, MI, USA 12th April1974

This is the most complete concert footage of Kiss on their first tour. Directly of the master tape. Kiss supported Blue Oyster Cult and Suzi Quatro. This show was long though to be Long Beach but after painstakingly research it proves to be this Detroit show.
