THIS DAY IN KISSTORY 1975
On this day in KISSTORY - May 16th, 1975 - We headlined Detroit's Cobo Hall for the first time. The show before a sellout crowd of 12,000 plus, was part of the seventy-two date Dressed To Kill tour. It was also the first of five shows we recorded for KISS ALIVE!
Paul Stanley comments on the Cobo show and Detroit:
"This concert and the release of "Alive!" marked a pivotal giant step towards achieving domination in the 70's. "Detroit Rock City" was written as a salute to the people who championed us as a headliner when others still saw us as an opening act. We can never forget them. We decided, that was the only place we would start the Reunion Tour."
