I was there, 21st row center on the floor. What a wild night. The fans were going absolutely nuts. When those lights went down, the roar of the crowd was the loudest I have ever heard at a show, and I've been to a slew of concerts. There were a few glitches that got covered up in the Kissology release, namely the pyro being off cue in spots. Gene was still trying to recapture his stalk and tongue flick, that was funny to watch. I love how Ace starts laughing a minute into the show because his strap comes undone lol. This is the only Kiss lineup. I know it, you know it, Gene and Paul know it. That night was magic.
The place was sooo ...full of electricity. It wasn't like the KISS 'reunion concerts after it, sort of a KISS and Sell feeling/mentality, this really was a special time.
The one thing I'll NEVER forget is how big the smiles on peoples faces were when they realized the REAL KISS was back. It was a happy time and a great year and all of it before 9/11 which changed everything.
Yeah, I had the same feeling! It was like a Time Warp and Kiss was from the Seventies. They had that Seventies Party Vibe with them! Incredible! That was the Reunion Tour to see and I’m glad I saw the original four! My favorites are Ace and Peter anyway. They knew how to Party! A good time was had by All!
I saw this tour in Las Vegas. Couldn't even believe I was seeing the original members. Been a fan since '76. But saw them live for the 1st time in '83.
I was 26 as well. It was a great time to be a Kiss fan! So glad I was at a place in my life to enjoy it. Seen them twice on this tour, Ohio and Indiana
I was there right on the 3rd baseline lower level. Still ranks way up there as one of the best shows I've ever seen. Sponge was great and so was Alice In Chains. Great time!
Keith - yeah bro, it ranks up there with my all-time fav shows, too.. I saw em in St.Louis this Reunion Tour '96. The energy level was thru the roof. I was all the way in the back near the top of arena, and this show STILL ranks right up there... Ace was on fire- good vibes in STL
I was there at the show that day and at night we partied it with Alice in Chains in our room at the Renaissance Center met Jerry Cantrell on the elevator if you weren't there you missed an awesome time and awesome show
Lol...I went July96. Kansas City. I was 19yrs old. We left after AIC finished their set. We weren't sticking around watch some Corny Kiss band. After watching Alice in Chains tear up the stage! So I didn't see Kiss, we went for AIC. After AIC was finished? Literally +150 16-24yr olds left b4 Kiss took stage. To this day? One funniest things I've ever seen. (Best part? The Kansas City Star wrote an article about youngsters leaving b4 Kiss took stage. The nxt day in local paper.)
I saw a few shows on this historic tour. Everyone was jacked. Outside the venues were enormous inflatable Kiss characters. There was more excitement in the air than back in the 70s.
I saw them 2 nights at the Forum in LA and cried my little eyeballs out! I was 22 at the time and had been a fan since 74 when my Mom went to the historic KISS (Acrobat) show at Long Beach Arena pregnant with me.
The story behind this show and the city allowing them to be the first act to play the stadium made the event a momentous occasion for rock fans in the area. I never listen to kiss much but I wanted to see aic.

I was there and I will never forget it. Easily the most exciting concert I have ever been to. That crowd that day was electric like no other before or since then. It was hot and muggy that day and no one cared. Top 3 all time shows for me
What's great about this footage is ..its like a 1970's or 1980's concert...lots of heavy metal fans who are there for the music. I can't see anyone with mobile phones taking photographs which is great, just enjoying the show. Brilliant!!
I drove 12 hours to see this show, and I thought that was pretty special until I met people there from Japan and Belgium lol...front row seats were scalping for 7 grand. seriously. Beat that, Rolling Stones. Gene, Paul, Peter, Ace. The Fearsome Foursome. The real KISS!
MrJoeythebabykangaro I saw the same tour , but EVEN IF IT WAZ THE ONLY KISS show on earth I WOULD never pay that ! @ I , saw Kiss In 77 at age 13 im sure it was rock and roll over' my 1st concert and psycho circus96 @ 2000 farewell So , I am a big kiss fan ...luv Ace's overtones
Don't get me wrong kiss id my favorite of all time but the stones could be that easily. That's how much the tickets cost before they get to the scalper lol
I remember it was verryyyy hard if not impossible to find tickets for this show the day of, obviously. Even scalpers were impossible to find...tickets were simply SOLD OUT! There were so much alcohol and drugs in the parking lots outside the stadium, ...I did not see one argument or fight. Everyone was happy. One of the happiest days of my life.
@@american_warrior724 Is that you as Paul? Cool that they got you on film! If that is you, that is. Man, I would have loved to seen Kiss when they first came out!
Saw them a few days later in St louis.... the electricity in the Keihl Center was overwhelming... I thought to myself "Finally".....what an awesome powerful night!!

The cameraman focuses on the crowd for Ace's entire solo, then, when KISS lines up to do their signature rocking side to side in unison move, he goes BACK to the crowd and misses one of the coolest parts of the show. Two solid minutes of crowd footage...what a waste. I want to see Kiss, not the crowd.
+KillermanV3 I've wanted to see that footage forever. The only person that I know FOR SURE has if is Jerry Cantrell but he absolutely will not release it because of Layne's state during that gig. He was in a bad state before the show and he forgot quite a few lyrics from what I remember of the audio. But I don't give a shit because I love Layne and I just want to see him perform one of his last shows ever.
SerenityNow EXACTLY! It hurts watching the 1996 shows, but the tiger stadium show seemed so cool and awesome. I just want to see it to see Layne performing some of his last shows.
How i wasnt here that magical night i will regret tell my death...was at dodger stadium 10-31-1998....but this detriot summer nite was magic....FUCK SCAB KISS
Fuck scab fans. If this Kiss was so good why did it implode again? Because of Alcohol Ass and Cocaine Criss. You just keep swinging off the 2 morons tip who tried to ruin the band more than once. So fuck you and your horrible grammar.
Hard to believe they did not record this concert. Then again KISS never does anything right but for some reason I've been a fan since I was 5 years old.
I was their. Great show. MTV person there probably couldn't belive how KISS did it not Stone Temple Pilots Smashing Pumpkins or Bush lol But KISS the band they didn't want to talk about ever again. Shows people want to be entertained all that Grunge music kinda sucked inretrospect.
I was there! I have KISS Guitar. pic, to prove it. A shirt too. The most Limos I ever seen for a show at Tiger Stadium. I'm in the upper deck left field. With 12 of my friends. We had so much fun! Remembering all the good times! Kiss rocked out!! Nothing like DETROIT ROCK CITY!!! Best Part was watching rehearsal in COBO Hall, days before this. I was on a mission to find them, I did, Cobo Hall.. 1 week prier /... Good Times!! Plus... Tickets Sold Out in 45 minutes.
Negative on that one. The openers were Sponge and Alice in Chains. The footage exists but... so far has not be released by Jerry Cantrell of the band AinC.
Got chills watching this. I KNOW everyone ages and we can't expect them to be as good as they were, but what an absolute farce this has become and upon reflection such a wasted opportunity.
It was so hot that day and muggy I remember selling one ticket for $500 to somebody from Canada I felt bad no I didn't paid for that night and a couple of concerts after
Never was a tour of an original band so eagerly anticipated nor received so huge. They have never been able to top it and they know it and they are shit scared of attempting part II as they know that Tommy & Eric could not take it.

Amazing comment

Do you remember a guy in a wheelchair getting passed to the front crowd surfing?
I was in lower grandstand left field.
The one thing I'll NEVER forget is how big the smiles on peoples faces were when they realized the REAL KISS was back. It was a happy time and a great year and all of it before 9/11 which changed everything.
I was there. Still the greatest concert I've ever seen. And I've seen hundreds.
I know, Alice In Chains killed that night. Good call.
loved this, look at Ace doing it like no other and thats why he's so loved
Hard to believe its been almost 30 years since that night. Thanks for the memories KISS!
30 years...my god where did the time go.....that's just nuts
When they curtain dropped and the lights went on and Deuce started, you would have sworn it was suddenly 1977.
Germ Blends ten + Absolutely! I saw them a week or so later for 2 nights in Cleveland.
Yeah, I had the same feeling! It was like a Time Warp and Kiss was from the Seventies. They had that Seventies Party Vibe with them! Incredible!

Alice In Chains killed that night. Good call.
I was there. Everyone that went spent the whole day there and we’re getting hammered. It was the most drunk crowd I’ve ever seen.
Fk yea it was!
No cell phones, all eyes on the show not their fckn phones! Good old days! I saw that tour I was 26.

I was in that crowd...for a stadium, the sound on the floor was thumping and clear. Great night, Sponge, Alice In Chains...Kiss in Detroit, history.
I remember Peter's drum solo, the bass drum was just ...thumping like a s.o.b., vibrating the whole stadium.
First time seeing KISS live! Unforgettable!
Alice In Chains killed that night. Good call.
I was there, the anticipation was almost as great as the show!!!

I was there and I will never forget it. Easily the most exciting concert I have ever been to. That crowd that day was electric like no other before or since then. It was hot and muggy that day and no one cared. Top 3 all time shows for me
The other two...?!
@@2112res Probably Metallica on the Master of puppets tour with Ozzy and The big 4 show in NY
Electric indeed. Not since or before have I been in a crowd like that. Not even close. I was in the pit. Flew from Memphis
I was there, thank you!
What's great about this footage is ..its like a 1970's or 1980's concert...lots of heavy metal fans who are there for the music. I can't see anyone with mobile phones taking photographs which is great, just enjoying the show. Brilliant!!
Saw them a couple days later, July 3, '96 in Kansas City. I believe that was AIC's last show opening for them on the tour(?)
Correct. Not many people can say they saw Layne Staley's final performance.

Too bad ace and peter couldnt keep it together for longer,,,, saw kiss with eric and tommy,,, even better musically.
Better musically as far as Peter goes. Ace on the other hand plays just fine. He was a little rusty at this point but it got way better
I love the footage at 9:00
Everyone looking happy
Was that the old stadium, I was only there once when they had the 2 beer limit.
Was there more to these outtakes?? Like of the openers?
Negative on that one. The openers were Sponge and Alice in Chains. The footage exists but... so far has not be released by Jerry Cantrell of the band AinC.
Got chills watching this.
I KNOW everyone ages and we can't expect them to be as good as they were, but what an absolute farce this has become and upon reflection such a wasted opportunity.
Cool! Let’s go see the kiss concert! Chicks were hot back then!
Wish there was some Alice In Chains footage too.
There is today. Look it up. 🎉
Damn that's one cool looking long haired dude with his tongue out at 4:23
Kiss sold out in 40 minutes a world record for the Tiger stadium beating U2.
She almost got punched for being so bad at her job to deliver one line. Terrible reporter.
Cantrell/Starr & Staley somewhere backstage laughing.

10:33 the opening chords to duece were pre recorded ace starts playing when he does slide part when curtain drops
I believe Paul plays the opening chords.
Paul plays the intro
How many people were at this???
80 bucks for front row... That's the minimum for nosebleed seats now!
That 720p upscale tho.
It was so hot that day and muggy I remember selling one ticket for $500 to somebody from Canada I felt bad no I didn't paid for that night and a couple of concerts after
"Seats up front going for eighty bucks a pop..." Isn't that cute? Tickets up front for the ongoing "End Of The Road" tour are $800 a pop.
Ace is KISS...music wise
ACEは何気に背が高い…。
At 7:15 it's the Tiger King at Tiger Stadium.
9:53. When the house lights dim. Gets me nervous every time
Never was a tour of an original band so eagerly anticipated nor received so huge. They have never been able to top it and they know it and they are shit scared of attempting part II as they know that Tommy & Eric could not take it.
3:33 so Tiger Stadium had a monument park
$25 dollars for a T-shirt. That's terrible... especially for the 90's.
No it isn't..... only same as elsewhere...even more in the UK.
fletch00001 £25+ for a T-shirt in the UK? Where the hell are you buying your T-shirt's from. When I'm at band gigs, T-shirts go from £5-15.
Although.... $25 = £15... so... I guess you're right.
gasmaskboi19371945 - It's $40 now
Now they go for 50, a shirt out here in cali is roughly 30 now
I was here
seems like the renioun was yesturday
Hey! That dude at 12.33 has a tongue just like Gene.
