Notes:
- This concert was recorded for "Alive!" The recording of the show was no secret and was mentioned in music press soon afterwards (such as is Cleveland's "The Scene" 6/5-11 issue and the May 17 issue of Cashbox). During the summer Casablanca issued basic ads with the album's rear cover crowd photo hyping the then forthcoming release of the album.
- The promoter had installed a new sound system in the arena, completely suspended above the stage, in addition to a second one at floor level. There was also a video screen used to project close-ups of the performance during the show. Video is known to exist from the show.
- Following the concert KISS presented Glantz with a "Rocker-Fellow" award to honor him for all of the support that he had given them throughout their career to date. According to Paul, explaining the award at the time, "He [Steve] treats us with as much respect now as a headlining act as he did last year when we were fourth on the bill" (Performance Magazine, 6/13/75).
- Isolated tracks from "Parasite" from this show were used in the Rock Band 2 game.
