KISS - Cleveland, OH 9/3/76 - Richfield Coliseum 8mm film

[@KillerPowerslave]

Best part is seeing the crew from behind the stage I love that stuff

[@lovegun2112]

Me too.

[@kristelronson2080]

Thanks for getting my film transferred, it looked better in my memories but again, l was only 15 when l shot this film... Eric / Vern

[@nickvivid]

thanks so much for filming it!

[@desmundhume]

THANX for taping & sharing!!!

[@invisibleman1028]

Thank you !

[@Paul_Warren_Wolfe]

Thank you!

[@Jimmie_Rudolfsson]

Was all of the film shot by you? Did you move around the place or how did you end up shooting from different angles?

[@jimilove7773]

Real energy/chemistry/real fire/smoke/lights/real fans! Nothing beats this! NOTHING! True theater!

[@joerectifier]

I was there….and was blown away. I was 13.

[@conchrepublictheband]

I saw this tour, July 17, 1976. I was 13 and it changed my life!

[@TerenceCooper-w2o]

Nothing and no one will rival kiss. My kids are named after them. Went to see them for the first time in 1980 at bingley hall uk. Brilliant. the many many bands who I’ve seen since then couldn’t touch them

[@Jet_Electro]

I’d read many years ago an interview with Gene where he mentioned the Destroyer stage set having a Ken Strickfadden-type of electrical effect similar to those in the old universal monster films like Frankenstein. It looks like that effect is used at 2:45 in. I never knew that they actually used it. What a crazy stage set! Photos never did it justice.

[@joerectifier]

Ace was a god of electric guitar and I loved (and still love) everything he played in the 70s. Damn I am so happy to see this.

[@toddaniels]

isn't it crazy now looking at that footage and seeing how small the stage really was back then.. It seemed SO massive in person

[@brandonfurlong6322]

3:45 the best look at the God of Thunder machine

[@federicomazzoncini3542]

Tour '76 was like no other, many thanks Kiss8mmfilms✌️🤘

[@dianeorsino6570]

Totally agree.

[@cynicalidealist2301]

best show of all time right there when these guys were unstoppable.

[@Johnsmith-fh4mt]

Freaking awesome perspective of the kiss extravaganza.

[@WestalSage]

Man I love these 8mm films - they just look so '70s

[@tm4333]

Hats off to the videographer & KISS8mmfilms! I love this amateur stuff because it feels like you’re at the concert. This 1 has it all! The tentacle tree, GOT machine, genes castle thing. And the shot of the coliseum afterwards is the cherry on top!

[@JoseBarbosa-er3eg]

Ese misterio del grupo, magia, los miembros originales, y precioso se el público sin celulares, un abrazo desdé Cd Neza, Estado de México.....

[@leokimvideo]

Very rare view of the most important era of Kiss. Because I'm a pyro guy I noticed the small fire on stage near the end. Not going to put a timestamp, just look carefully after a series of flashpots in the finale. Thanks for your efforts uploading these and shooting them on 8mm a long time ago.

[@frankstanley1655]

Awesome! I saw them December 2nd 1976 in Memphis at mid south coliseum, my 1st concert, I can remember alot about that night! Memories!!

[@skeeter197140]

When Gene was but a budding egomaniac. Seriously, thanks for this. My uncle took me to see them the next year. I was 6.

[@AlmostReady504]

PRICELESS! Saw them in New Orleans this same year

[@rebeccahill9285]

❤this is fabulous! Thank you so much!!!!

[@helgelippert1970]

Very cool view of the stage

[@taergehtsiram]

You can see a rare shot of the lightning machine in operation

[@sagedrummer]

Great shots of the mirror balls covered with flash bulbs at 5:26 that were made for the Alive Tour. There really isn’t any footage of them in action but this is some of the most clear imagery of them I’ve ever seen.

[@brianoshea2510]

This is awesome! Thank you!🤟

[@shannonjones3714]

What a killer video! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@malone6005]

Way cool 😎 Thanks for sharing! Destroyer was my favorite era of the group. I wanted to go see them in 76 but being in sixth grade, it just wasn't going to happen.

[@nickravenswood9043]

That is an incredible pice of footage!!! Thank you so much for sharing it. AMAZING.

[@razorsedge5145]

This was absolutely wonderful and brought back so many memories of seeing these guys. Paul and Gene would just blow me away running around and jumping around in those boots like it was nothing. My ankles have the weakness of a toothpick. There is no way i would even try on a pair of boots like that. Still though, those 4 for me anyway would always put on such a high energy bombastic performance. Such great memories.

[@majadutrieux3569]

Awesome KISS 🎉

[@rkline65]

Incredible footage!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Thanks for uploading!

[@d.j.trancelott3480]

I was there, Artful Dodger opened for them. Awesome show

[@kevinstrong8265]

The lightning bolt machine was used in Frankenstein I believe, 1931.

[@primateproductions126]

So cool. Fantastic angles here.

[@SeenACowSki]

It’s like entering the memories of someone who attended.

[@mooch514]

Awsome. I wish i was there in 76

[@VoodooCosmonaut]

Incredible. This channel is a wonderful resource. I'd love to see Pophouse do for Kiss what Jimmy Page did for Zeppelin's DVD set years ago and use footage like this in conjunction with official live footage to create a more authentic concert experience on film. This stuff is priceless.

[@whataboutrob442]

I've seen many shows at the Coliseum.

[@jimilove7773]

Amazing!

[@JohnLesniewski-np7jg]

Great for nostalgia. The angles are certainly different.

[@muddhammer7834]

How they run down those steps with those heels and playing Ill never know. “Nobody puts on a better show and gives their fans their money’s worth in concert than KISS” Geddy Lee

[@brandonfurlong6322]

Wow wow wow

[@bb-gc2tx]

the 18 year olds at this show are pushing 70 now crazy

[@atomic1430]

Awesome!!!

[@TerenceCooper-w2o]

Got a tear in my eye. Can’t get over they’ve retired. Hopefully someone will invent a Time Machine. .

I was at home watching Captain Kangaroo in 1976. And then a kid brought R a R over in for show and tell..

[@jamesmarcin4787]

Cool.

[@stephenmcgraw8871]

Is this the show Eric Singer got kicked out of?

[@kevin2400]

Richfield colosseum had the best concerts...

[@nasticanasta]

I saw Led Zepp there the very next year

[@roderickray8386]

Not a good camera angle view of tihis show which is featured as the lost Kiss show on dvd in black & white.

[@jamesscully4714]

Paul Stanley is so Hammy! It hurts to watch him.

[@roderickray8386]

Hope it's the full show, pro shot & not too small or dark

[@PinkFloydBootlegs]

8mm cartridges only run for about 3 minutes. For an hour of footage, you'd need like 20 reels of film. That is nearly impossible for an amateur filmer who said he was 15 when he shot this.

[@chrispyness9480]

[@dutchdude1972]

great to see the famouse alive two stage on a different angle

[@andrewsgambati]

This was not the Alive II stage. That would not debut until April in Japan and then be completed in July 1977

[@kevinstrong8265]

That's the Destroyer set from 76. They didn't use it very long.
