KISS - Live in Montreal - April 21, 1976 - 8mm Film - Synced Audio

This is the Montreal footage that surfaced in 2020. Re-sequenced, speed corrected, and synced by your friends at kiss8mmfilms.
Hey KISS Army: We are still hoping someone can help solve a few long-standing KISS mysteries.
Mystery #1. As has been the case for the past few decades, we still don't know what happened in Baltimore on July 21, 1974. Any fans see KISS that night in Baltimore? Every once in a while a fan comes forward claiming to have information, but we lose contact before we can get confirmation on anything specific.
Mystery #2. We have found evidence that fans filmed 8mm footage of the band at their September 27, 1979 autograph signing at Great American Music in Bloomington (Minneapolis), Minnesota. Can anyone in Minneapolis help us find it or know who has it?
Mystery #3. Does anyone know who the kid is in this photo filming Paul at Cactus Records in Houston TX? (He's on the right side - blonde hair and wearing a white baseball tshirt with dark sleeves) This event took place on December 9, 1978 during the solo album promo tour. We originally thought the person filming was working for a local TV station or PM Magazine, but as it turns out, we have found that the camera used was an early home Sony porta-pak camera. So this was a fan recording on black and white open reel tape with a home recording system - the same type of machine and system used by Bill Aucoin to film the band's early shows at Coventry. With this new information, we are hoping to find the filmer. There's probably footage of Paul at Cactus records in an attic somewhere in Houston. In related news, we have searched every TV news archive in Houston. No one covered this event.

Any help or leads will be greatly appreciated!
Happy New Year!

I enjoyed the pre show footage as much as the Kiss performance. Takes me back to my childhood. Everyone in my neighborhood pretty much looked like the people seen at this comcert. 🙂

They're in the Montreal metro at first, then in Cabot park across the old Forum, exit at Atwater station - the view with the church in the background can be seen today here: www.google.com/maps/@45.4891316,-73.584207,3a,15y,51.31h,91.03t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sEAjA1E7Di1D-Gra-tIW-aA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

The footage is great to see for me too. I would've been 4 years old at this time but sure brings back memories of the Forum and all the awesome shows I saw there.

[@brianca1970]

This is so cool to see! I was six-years-old in April 1976, and my 16-year-old cousin and babysitter came to my mom with two tickets to see KISS in my hometown that same month! My mom refuses to let me go, saying that KISS was "acid rock" (whatever that means). So I had to wait a few years to finally see KISS live. But the experience only strengthened my love for KISS, one that has lasted a lifetime. Thanks for posting this! It gives me a glimpse into what I might have experienced!

[@monty4336]

I was also 6 when this took place. I grew up 30 minutes away from the now famous Cobo Arena that gave them their first sold out big show.

[@glendrover3846]

The fact that this was ever filmed is so amazing. Thank u so much for posting this!!!!!

[@roderickray8386]

Very cool to see Kiss on the 1st part of the Destroyer tour while still in the Alive! tour costumes & stage, performing shout it out loud & Detroit Rock city

[@andreavelinodacosta1418]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@thedrumman64]

That is absolutely fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to sync the audio and post this. Wow!

[@JereWilkerson]

Thank you for posting this. Great Live footage classic. Thank you.

[@NobleBruv]

I love seeing the destroyer songs played in the alive era setup.

[@andreavelinodacosta1418]

👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@morgantaylor178]

amazing. especially love the pre-show vibe. wow. and amazing work with the sync-ups. A labor of love for sure.

[@therockexperiencewithmikeb8365]

AWESOME!! Thanks as always for your hard work on these films.

[@leokimvideo]

Back then Gene was totally possessed on stage, so animated and full of energy. Very slow played early version of Shout It Out Loud and early Detroit Rock City. What a rare insight into Kiss just before they became huge.

[@MatChew75]

I appreciate what you do man this was a great treat wish I wasn't one years old in 75 and I could have been about 13 or 14. If There's one thing I could go back in time & see in the seventies it would be kiss during Dress To Kill and the rock and roll over . And to see Rush during hemispheres and permanent waves

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

9:30 "shout it out loud" before new Destroyer outfits this is rare

[@eltoro969]

They also played Detroit Rock City, Flaming Youth and God of Thunder as Destroyer was released a month earlier while being on the Alive! Tour.

[@eltoro969]

I have seen footage from the European leg of this tour too. They didn`t even have the KISS sign on many shows in Europe. Stripped down to the bone.

[@hammeredwithhorror]

@@eltoro969 thats because of the lightning bolt s's in the logo.

[@bcardamone]

Absolutely awesome. Thanks for this. Interesting watching them performing Destroyer tunes in DTK/Alive era costumes and stage. Anyone know when they fully converted to the Destroyer stage and costumes?

[@kissed61]

I caught both this and the Destroyer show in Toronto. The Destroyer full costume tour in Toronto was early Sept. I can't remember any destroyer songs at the toronto show 5 days after this, but it was a long time ago 😀

[@jimmitzel9734]

Absolutely stunning! Thank you for the hard work of putting this together and sharing with all of us! Happy New Year!

[@RobertIvanko]

Great job! Awesome footage. Thanx for sharing! At 7:53 mins, the fan must be proud of himself!

[@sandytinky]

For what? Being a jackass?

[@lucasvonbraun]

Paul saw it - after finishing his line, he looks back at it .. probably worried it was an m80

[@martinstumpf1973]

Wow - awesome stuff. Alive Outfits on Destroyer Tour - Thank you !

[@rolandoflores7626]

Resurrected🔥

[@BeatleRick84]

[@scirasco1]

[@mauricee39_m59]

Amazing footage! Got me there for 13:46 straight, staring and wishing there was a time machine....

[@robertschaffer2551]

We're going to have ourselves a rock and roll party tonight!!!!🎸🥁🎤🎙🎶

[@hammeredwithhorror]

Great to see this footage of Alive era costumes performing material from Destroyer! Although I was hoping to see the staging from Destroyer tour.

[@apogeedata]

This is incredible what an amazing job somebody doing and to see the destroyer tour with the alive set still being used

[@andreavelinodacosta1418]

This is what KZbin is for . Thanks for this.

[@gusjundiai]

Que maravilha!!! Achei que não teria mais vídeos nesse canal maravilhoso. Muito obrigado por compartilhar.

[@malone6005]

Nice... North American footage of a Destroyer song while wearing the Alive costumes!

[@wahivalleys3011]

It's interesting to see them sing "Shout It Out Loud" in their "Dressed to Kill" clothes. Wahi' Valleys

[@andreavelinodacosta1418]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jackkorte4130]

Around 7:55 seconds in. In the middle of nothin to lose...someone through something from the crowd. It hit the amps on Ace side. Maybe a lighter. It was maybe a firework. Curious if this happened alot with the Fearsome Foursome ?

[@eltoro969]

Looks like some kind of small china crackle fireworks they lit and threw on stage. It probably made some noise as you can see Ace and Paul reacted to it at the same time wondering wtf the gun shot sounds came from lol. It probably happened a lot of things like that just to mess with the band. Someone throws toilet paper on stage when they start Detroit Rock City. I remember back in the day some people in the audiences at big rock bands went just to troll the band and the audience. Most often they were drunk hillbillys wanting to fight nerdy city boys. It was pretty wild back in the 70s.

[@97warlock]

How long is this footage, what sthe running time. The longer the time the more excited I'll be,thanx

[@nelwinaldriansyah]

Killer footage..!!

Destroyer was released over a month before this show. The album that started the resentments within the band. They had barely a month off before the Destroyer Tour started. Then, two months later, with no break, they went into the studio again recording RARO. Only a month free time before going on the road again. Back in the studio to record Love Gun. One month off. Back on the road. One month off. Then Alive II Tour for 6 months.... No wonder Ace needed a break after that.

[@patrickrancourt4782]

Theyre really a 100% litteraly a monster's machine rock n roll band between 1973-1979

[@andrewking4885]

It burnt Ace out I reckon. Even Tony Iommi had writer's block after a while.

[@mariosaucedo3101]

A mis 55 años estoy emocioando de ver este vídeo, no me imagino haberlo visto cuando tenía 14 años.. Gracias por tanto amor a KISS.

[@jimilove7773]

Thanks!

[@ericmartin7426]

My hometown wow, is it the sound of the Montréal show

[@mikaellofgren7]

KISS on fire on the way to Europe in May!!

[@oscarrojas3704]

realmente extraordinario muchas gracias por compartir

[@luxdico]

Woaw, thx 4 uploadin' this amazin' footage. To think that in 1976 Paul Stanley is only 24 years old , is mind-boggling! (Mister Stanley was born January 20, 1952.) And in 2021 Paul and Gene were basically still doin' the same show, but with better effects and two "new" members. Imho, this show could indeed go on and on even without any original members.

[@metallian2952]

Awesome job People.

[@MatChew75]

Yeah this is right before they went to Europe for the first time so this is on the 21st. The last show they played before they went to London was was Kitchener Auditorium Ontario, Canada. And that was on the 23rd. How the hell did they play in London the next day on the 24th.This was a big time for kiss I mean they were really about the explode and become the biggest band on Earth. Prior to their Destroyer tour

[@eltoro969]

It`s crazy how much these guys worked between 1975 and 1978. They were more or less living on the road for over three years.

[@rickculpepper709]

Man this is Great stuff.Doing destroyers song with old costumes on.They we’re well on there way

[@kissed61]

Caught the Toronto show 5 days later. Hammersmith opened.

[@OlavToobad]

Xmas is going to be a long wait!

[@bb-gc2tx]

all these kids pushing 70 now crazy

[@eltoro969]

12:16 the toilet paper roll thrown on the stage when they started Detroit Rock City. Many fans hated Destroyer when it came out.

[@andrewking4885]

What's wrong with Destroyer one of my favorites.

[@sandytinky]

That was a long flame that Gene spat that night!

[@SNOWYSHAWOFFICIAL]

Loving it to death

[@Drahculia]

Hoopla!

[@rocknjbindad3707]

Long hair ruled

[@michaeltandrow362]

I can smell the weed on every one of those guys 😄
