June 12, 1974 |
I.M.A. Auditorium
Promoter: Brass Ring Productions
Other act(s): New York Dolls (HL)
Reported audience: 2,112 / 5,300 (39.85%)
Reported gross: $12,686
Set list(s):
Unknown.
Notes:
- Considering the inspiration the Dolls had been for KISS, this gig is an important meeting of two seminal bands and more surprising for having not occurred in 1973.
- From a local review: "KISS played tight well-arranged songs with long drawn-out endings accented with flashing smoke bombs. Most of the songs are rather simple, and the leads seem to repeat the same two-note phrase over and over. All four members sing, and their harmonies, though simple, are good. But their strengths are their act and their odd costumes. Stanley said the band has caused near-riots in Detroit, and pointed to a lot of jewelry around his neck and on his hands. All of it was thrown to him on stage by enthused fans" (Flint Journal). The same review indicated an audience of 1,464.
