Kiss/Elvis Presley Memorial Edition CA,USA 1977 Huge Upgrade

The definitive 1977 Cow Palace album at its peak! You Wanted the Best, You Got the Best, the Hottest Band in the World, “KISS” and BLACK DIAMOND all at once! This album is packed with the heat of the peak. The excitement of teenagers at the time was considerable. August 16th Cow Palace performance recorded on high quality soundboard! In San Francisco, Elvis Presley was shaking his hips, the Rolling Stones were releasing “Sticky Fingers,” and Menudo was screaming loudly as a multilingual boy band. But no concert in the history of the Bay Area has ever struck fear into the hearts of conservative adults and joy into the hearts of young rock fans as KISS did at the Cow Palace on August 16th, 1977. An article from that time said, “16,000 kids paid $6.50 each to see KISS, a four-man silver-suited rock group from New York, on their toes. It was dazzling, loud, and looked incredibly profitable. The concert was part of the Bill Graham Presents Midsummer Music Festival.” What made this performance so memorable is the fact that the band played on the anniversary of Elvis’ death. Many young audience members didn’t know about Elvis’ death until Kiss played “Rock and Roll All Nite” at the end of the concert as a tribute to Elvis Presley. Gene shouts! “We’re dedicating the last song to the King of Rock and Roll!” “Elvis Presley, Rock and Roll All Night and Party Every Day!” It’s a must-listen concert for the KISS ARMY!
