Revisiting Kiss’ 1975 + 1977 Tours: Exclusive Photos

Acclaimed rock photographer Mark Bowman has spent over four decades chronicling priceless onstage and backstage moments from some of the genre's biggest legends, including Led Zeppelin , Eric Clapton , Tom Petty and the Who . He's been kind enough to share never-before seen photos of Kiss in action both in 1975 at Houston and 1977 in Denver with us today, along with his memories of what it was like to watch the band rise to fame in the mid-'70s. You can check out much more of Mark's excellent work at MarkBowmanImages.com .

I first became aware of Kiss as they released their first three albums to mixed reaction in the early '70s. What little of their music I heard back then was under-produced and didn’t really have much of an impact on me. It wasn’t until I picked up a copy of 1975’s Alive! that I saw the power and the glory of what this band was capable of. They made a great decision by having Eddie Kramer, the engineer of all those early Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix albums, help them create a thorough representation of their live set.

When I first got a copy of Alive!, I played it constantly. It’s one of the most energetic and visceral rock documents of the era. I was lucky enough to witness the Kiss Alive! show in November 1975 at the Sam Houston Coliseum, and take photos with my trusty Kodak 110 Instamatic right in front of Ace Frehley on a chair from the front row. The first six photos in the above gallery are never-before-seen shots of Gene Simmons , Paul Stanley and Ace from their 1975 Kiss Alive! set in Houston.

Even though they had long since acquired a reputation of blowing every band off the stage that preceded them or followed them, once Kiss had successfully achieved headliner status, they felt they had to kick it up a notch. This is the precise point in any successful band’s career that provides that “fork in the road” – the choice that becomes the fulcrum point which propels them higher or locks them into a “niche” into the minds of the public.  Kiss decided to take their next step and go for the moon.

By this time, I was living in Colorado. I caught up with the Rock and Roll Over tour as it made its way into McNichols Arena. Known as the Big Mac, it was promoter Barry Fey’s long-since torn down, personal playpen in Denver – and site of many incredible rock concerts over the years. I sat on the 10th row for this gig with my used 35mm camera, hoping to capture the grandiosity of Kiss' massively upgraded stage and set. I was particularly happy to see Frehley play those killer guitar solos live, and he is one of my favorite guitarists to this day.

Here are my never published photos from the Rock and Roll Over Tour on Jan. 15, 1977 at McNichols Arena in Denver. Forty years since Destroyer, wow. Kiss, you’ve come a long way!

Kiss – ‘Alive II’ (1977) – Album Review (The Kiss Review Series)

After three studio albums, it was time to repeat the magic with another live album, ‘Alive II’.  It worked well the first time so it seemed like that was the intention this time around to try and capture that gold again.  However, that was not the original intention.  While the band was touring Japan for ‘Rock & Roll Over’, they recorded the entire show of the band at the famed Budokan Hall in Tokyo on April 2, 1977.  They felt the band needed a break before recording the next album and this would be it.  However, Casablanca hated the album and it was scrapped.

R-5894228-1501033008-4468.jpeg

The band went and released ‘Love Gun’ as planned and then it was time for another live album.  This time they recorded three shows at the LA Forum on August 26-28 of 1977 while out on Tour for the ‘Love Gun’ album which was just released in June.  Heck, they even recorded the soundchecks as the goal for this album was to not duplicate any songs that were on ‘Alive!’.  And to add something special to the album, Side Four was going to be all new studio songs which gives this release a little something extra.  Eddie Kramer was brought back in to produce and he worked his magic.

The album was released on October 14, 1977 only 4 months after ‘Love Gun’.  The release was a 2LP set and the cover of the album was so striking with the massive Kiss logo and the pictures of the band.  The ones on the front are kind of small, but if you flip it over to the back cover…WOW!!  Look at the detail and the color.  Gene is the most menacing and sure looked like a Demon to me with all the blood still coming from his mouth plus all the sweat from busting his ass during the show.  It is the best picture I think I’d seen of Gene up to this point.  The other guys are all prettied-up and the pictures look great, but Gene’s…Damn!!

IMG_2257

Then you open that gatefold and look at that show.  The band giving it there all in the middle of the show…okay, not really.  They shot this prior to the show and set off all the pyro at once to make it look like their show was so massive.  It was, but not this big. Sadly, this is itty-bitty compared to the “End of the Road Tour” pyro!  My copy of the album still has the original album sleeves with the fan shot on one side and the album pictures on the other. Both sleeves have the same pictures.

IMG_2258

One thing my copy doesn’t have is the promotional inserts Kiss started to put in their albums.  This one had a small book called ‘The Evolution of Kiss’, it had a bunch of mini-tattoos and a merchandise form so you could order plenty of Kiss merchandise as they were the merchandising whores of the time.  Someday, I will find a copy with all of this. I do need a new copy as mine has a lot of problems such as seams splitting and it is just in rough shape.  So bad I used someone else’s picture for the back cover (all the other pictures are my copy except the promotional items obviously).

R-5894228-1501033008-9151.jpeg

Now, I hadn’t mentioned anything about them going back in the studio and overdubbing practically everything because I think it is a given at this point.  Are you ready to get in to the music?  I thought you might be.

IMG_2260

The album opens with “Detroit Rock City” and then goes right in to “King of the Night Time World” just like the kick off to ‘Destroyer’.  Plus, those two songs have to come one after the other if you are going to play them both.  They don’t replicate the car crash to transition between the songs, instead Peter hits the massive Gong behind him which kind of simulates the crash. The one thing I have noticed on this one is the crowd noise does sound less realistic then I remember on ‘Alive!’.  Oh well.

The quickly get through “Ladies Room” , “Makin’ Love” and “Love Gun” as there are no extras added.  They get in, they get out and don’t differ too much from the original versions.  The standout for me on this Side is “Makin’ Love” . I thought the guitar on this sounded really cool and Peter’s drum roll at the end was awesome.  This one sounded live and overall there was something special about it.  The songs for the show all sound fantastic, almost too good.  The tempo is a lot faster as the band seems to be playing with a sense of urgency.  So far, the Paul Stanley banter between songs has been minimal, yet effective.  I guess they have to limit the banter to cram 15 tracks on three sides.

IMG_2261

Gene kicks off side 2 in a big way with a twofer including “Calling Dr. Love” and “Christine Sixteen” .  Gene sounds great and the band is killing it.  Then the big highlight on this side for me.  Ace Frehley finally gets his day in the sun with him singing “Shock Me” which was his first song he sang on an album.  He sounded sensational and the guitar playing on this track was awe-inspiring as he got to throw in his solo on this song.  This was one of the main reasons Ace became my favorite back when I was 8 years old.  Sorry Paul…you become my favorite again soon.

Peter Criss gets in on the singing act as well with “Hard Luck Woman” and then Paul goes in to “Tomorrow And Tonight” which he wrote in hopes to repeat the success of “Rock And Roll All Nite” but it doesn’t come close.  This is the only side that actually features all members of the band singing a song. Pretty cool!!  These two songs were not played live either my friend.  They were going to use the soundcheck versions, but instead, how do I say this…they were completely re-recorded in the studio and the crowd was added later.  Sorry!

IMG_2262

Side 3 starts off with a song that was not from any live show.  “I Stole Your Love” was actually recorded during one of the soundchecks at the Forum shows.  They went back in and added the crowd noise.  Hell, it fooled all of us.  Two other things to note on this side are that “Beth” and “I Want You” aren’t from the LA Forum shows.  They were actually used from the Budokan Hall recordings that were scrapped earlier in the year that I mentioned a little while back. As I said, they didn’t want to repeat any songs from “Alive!”, so they took songs however they could get them.

Gene demons up with his signature song “God of Thunder” (written by Paul) and he is in rare form.  He comes across as evil as ever, but the highlight is Peter’s drum solo. Peter pretty much steals Gene’s thunder…pun intended!  Peter was a hell of a drummer in his prime, there is no denying that and this shows it.  Next up is a another favorite of mine, “I Want You” .  This is another track taken from the Budokan show and is spectacular as Paul sounds great and  it is these lesser known tracks that really have the band shine.  The way he gets the crowd involved on singing “I Want You” and his extended notes on it are what you want from a live show.  The show ends here with Paul asking everyone if “you people want a little bit of rock & roll then Shout it Out Loud ” and though not as outrageous as “Rock And Roll All Nite” is still a fitting song to end a show and it sounds bombastic and huge with explosions and Gene and Paul sharing vocals.  It ends on a high note.

IMG_2263

Side 4 is all studio tracks.  At the time, we thought the whole band played on these tracks, but behind the scenes things were beginning to disintegrate.  Ace only played on the song he sang as the band was having major issues with him so they brought in Bob Kulick to play on all the other tracks.  You remember Bob, he auditioned for Kiss back in the beginning, but Ace came in right afterwards and got the job.  The first new songs was “All American Man” .  A Paul Stanley written and sung track that has some great sounding guitars (thanks to Bob).  As a tall child, I strutted around singing this heavy rock song because I felt it described me…well someday it would as I did reach 6′ 2″.

Next up was “Rockin’ in the USA” sung and written by Gene Simmons. That is two songs in a row mentioning the US in some way which made this feel like a very patriotic set of songs.  It is actually about touring in the US and dang it rocks out and is a blast of a song.  Gene continues with “Larger Than Life” which is exactly what this band was in my eyes.  The song is a slower, dirtier groove and more of a menacing Gene song.

Then we get to the only song Ace Frehley wrote (with Sean Delaney), sang and actually played on, “Rocket Ride” .  The song was originally written for an Ace solo album but Kiss needed a song so he gave them this one.  This is a signature Ace song and probably the best song on the whole album. The guitar playing is slick and it plain kicks major ass.

The last track on here was a Dave Clark Five cover of “Any Way You Want It” sung by Paul.  It is very catchy and also very corny and to me the weakest song of the new tracks as it is very repetitive.  Oh well, it didn’t end on high note, but let’s go back and listen to “Rocket Ride” again and again and again!!

And there you have it.  This would become the final album of the Classic Kiss era in many people’s book.  Definitely mine.  And what a way to go out. Yes, this isn’t as good as “Alive!” as the overall show is a little flat for me.  The crowd noise isn’t believable and you can’t beat that setlist of ‘Alive!’ either.  But don’t let that fool you, it is still a remarkable album and the studio tracks are an added bonus that lifts the score higher. In fact, I still think this is one of the best albums they’ve done.  My overall score is a 4.5 out of 5.0 Stars .  As an 8 year old kid, I was mesmerized by them and at 51, they still blow me away.  Kiss is at their pinnacle here and they went all out to deliver the best live album (cough, cough) they could and they did just that.

Some “live albums” are good enough to ignore that fact that they’re not live. Unleashed in the East is one of the few for me.

Like Liked by 1 person

That one is fantastic and easy to overlook the “non” live aspect. Both of Kiss’ are for me.

My entry point into Kiss back in late 77 or early 88 as a 10 year old John. Love this album and I mean what a way to discover a new band and then they go all out on the packaging! Awesome review and I think I may have mentioned to you before that my daughter Lauren bought me the reissue KISS ALIVE 2 a few years back for my birthday and it came with the insets and the tattoo’s. So if your looking for the upgrade there ya go! Enjoying this series. Have a good day Sir!

Thanks Deke! You have a fine day as well. And this is a great birthday present. I saw one a few months back, but didn’t grab because I didn’t remember mine was in such horrid shape. If they happen to still have it, I will buy it next time I’m there.

That gatefold is enough to get people hooked to the band. Great review

I would stare at thing the whole time it was playing.

Another solid write up. Great job. Did not know that about the studio tracks placed on there.

Thanks a lot Drew! Glad you learned something new.

You don’t race motocross do you?

A John snow from NC lining up Saturday for Motocross.

Ha! So not me. I am only on Game of Thrones.

When I see this album cover it reminds me of the KISS trading cards I was collecting at the time.

If you have those still, they are worth some money!!! Cool memory!!

I like this album quite a bit. Too much crowd, too many overdubs, but the song selection is pretty great, and the new stuff has some gems.

kiss alive tour 1977

Can I get you to comment on this?

My eyes!!!! They burn!! Please make it stop!!

Not quite up to the first Alive! but still pretty stellar. Never really cared about the fakeness of it, good albums are good albums. The studio side is ace. Makin’ Love and I Want You were always big faves on this. Tomorrow And Tonight bugged me. Just doesn’t deserve to be here. I really admire how they didn’t repeat any tracks from the first but they lost the feel of a live show. Even just adding Rock N’ Roll All Nite at the end would have been enough.

There is nothing on Alive! I would replace, but this one had several I would’ve put in something better. Yes, high marks for trying on this one, but not as good overall.
