KISSONLINE EXCLUSIVE: Crew's Eye View: Modern Day Delilah

Check out this exclusive video of KISS opening their Jones Beach show with Modern Day Delilah, shot from the crew's eye view!

[@keyringer]

I wish they had this kind of footage from back in the 70's.

@Bave Drokie How cool would that have been?

[@aftertheanthemcards867]

Keyringer what your saying is that that would be the top headlining on the newspaper

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

Agreed. These kinds of shows require so many people doing lots of things. I’ve always been in awe and respect for all the muscle it takes to make these things happen. Seeing it from the 70’s till now would be a hugely interesting perspective.

This is one of the coolest entries that I've seen KISS do on any of their past tours,which I;ve seen every one since '83 Lick It Up tour! I was at the Pittsburgh show in July &I will be seeing them this Sunday in Cleveland @Blossom .;can't wait! I love KISS , nobody can hold a candle to them-PERIOD!

[@Catholic17]

Eric Singer at the beginning was just hilarious

[@TinManSixtySix]

As of today 4 people can't appreciate the greatest rock n roll show on Earth, and 4 other people are still kicking some serious ass after nearly 40 years -- the latter are KISS.

[@jevan1994]

The person doing the legendary "You Wanted The Best" intro is Spike. He was Gene's bass tech at the time.

[@jevan1994]

Mike Hartsell It’s just a fun fact. True KISS fans would want to know that! Don’t be such a jerk!

FOLD BACK DIRECTLY ON STAGE SOUND!!!!!

[@PeterKKraus]

I had a crew's eye view from 10:30am to about 5:45pm @ the 1st ever Kiss Madison Square Garden show. I was in the front row in Hartford 2 nights before. (The obviously jewish kid with long hair and a green down jacket). I also saw Gene get out of a limo and go into the Hartford Sheraton lobby as we were walking past the entrance. This black guy who was always around at hard rock concerts in Hartford said "Hey Paul!" Gene didn't even turn to look and said "You got the wrong one" Anyhow, my 2 friends and I were hanging by the M.S.G. stage door entrance on the sidewalk just to see if anything interesting would happen. A lady got out of a cab and had a bunch of stuff to bring in. She asked if we would help her carry the stuff in. As we soon found out, there was some sort of antiques show going on in the rotunda under the stands.Turns out she was working the Hungarian exhibit. She offered to pay us and we asked her to just say we were with her instead. We watched the stage being built, talked with roadies , saw the band arrive for the sound check without makeup or costumes. Peter Criss was wearing a Detroit Red Wings jersey. I thought it was cool because I was a goalie at Glastonbury High then. ( I made a custom molded fiberglass mask and painted it exactly like Gene's makeup) Lol . Anyway, when we got a little bolder and went out to see the completed stage setup, the general manager of MSG started yelling at us yada yada yada. We got booted and wound up on the elevator with a couple of guys from New York Dolls. They were getting passes for the party after the show one was going on about how he remembered Kiss used to open for "us" , now look at them. We asked who's "us" lol. He got into a boring Buick on the street. We had terrible seats about 3 rows from the roof, on the opposite end of the arena from the stage. Fun day though.

I was in a band that opened for these guys on this tour. Everyone was great to us took care of our gear fed us had our own dressing room. Doc Magee their manager was great. We hung out backstage quite a bit. Stage looks great from a distance I thought it was funny standing on it it was pretty beat to shit. Gene Paul everyone was great to us. The band was called DoDriver we were from Buffalo n.y.

[@metallicphoenix9615]

AMY, I met these guys in 2012 as a fan at 14 (my profile photo) and they are humble as all hell. I was in tears speaking of Stand from Sonic Boom saving me from the brink of Suicide due to bullying when on my knees after VIP Photos. The guys had me there for 15 minutes straight to give me strength and calm me down. I had an anxiety attack with tears and apologized profusely with the shakes. Tommy said that had their crew tried to get me out mid way then they’d have been fired on the spot without a chance of pay. They extended the timer for VIP and everything. I will never forget Paul’s words to me that he spoke in my ear, encouraging me to breathe and fight through the pain to get through my story. I saved $1,385 in 3.5 years when earning $6 a week for their VIP which was $1,250 and then merchandise shopping which was another $135. They were my first major meet and greet. I was 14 then and am turning 23 now in September. Going to college to be an Entrepreneur and Advertising and Promotions Manager; They’re the reason why I work to promote for new bands these days. They said that they wanna be at the top of my mountain when I get there and be available to help me from afar every step of the way. I’ve been in by mail contact with them for over ten years, since May of 2010 when I was 12. They responded back in 2011 when I was 13 and then I met em face to face in 2012 at 14 after getting into them through Sonic Boom in 2009 when I was 11. 💖❤️💙💚

[@smokesletsgo2374]

It's pretty badass that you opened for Kiss, you're in some amazing company like AC/DC, Rush, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, Motley Crue, etc. etc. So if you open for Kiss, you must be good.

[@abefroman70]

Peter Karel Kraus Loved your KISS story earlier in the comments except for the shitty seats! I know because I saw Van Halen there on the OU812 tour in 88 and had pretty much the same seats. Anyway, did ya ever go to the shows at Riverside Speedway? Saw many cool shows there! But Katinas and Infinity’s is where I lived at in my young days. Best show at Infinity was Sebastian Bach in 98 by far!!!

[@PeterKKraus]

@@abefroman70 At least Kiss had a big video monitor at MSG, they didn't have cc tv 2 days earlier in Hartford. The sound wasn't bad either, since we weren't on the side.

[@PeterKKraus]

@@abefroman70 I saw Marshall Tucker at Riverside in '87. I remember Frehley's Comet was at Katina's in '88 or '89( If that's the club that was near Parker and Allen Street intersection.) Last time at Infinity for me was around that time.

[@abefroman70]

Peter Karel Kraus Yeah that’s the club! Man, Frehleys Comet??? That must have been pretty cool. So many great shows at Riverside. I saw Eddie Money there with John Cafferty but I think the best show I saw there was Kix & Britny Fox. I still have my 1992 pass I found the other day going through a box of stuff of mine at my parents when visiting them. I also kept flyers from the local band scene also that I put into a nice collage & frame.

Very cool perspective, thanks for sharing! And I will say this.. I was in Pittsburgh a few months ago in the front row, and people were going crazy, including me!! Hell, that's the fun of being that close! Don't know why, but the audience did seem a little out of it, this is not the norm for front rows of KISS, at least if I'm there :)

I was surpised at how loud that was! I saw them on the Alive 35 tour, when they came down from the top of the stage, same idea though, all the fog coming down.
