KISS rocked Madison Square Garden two nights in a row in 1979! This is backstage footage that surfaced out of nowhere some time ago. There is a little bit more footage, but its the camera man being a creep and filming young girls at the front of the stage enjoying the show. AI enhanced, noise reduced and color corrected, audio has been improved as well.

I uploaded this film a couple of years ago but I have since found 5 minutes of audio from this very concert. I had recorded the entire show but it looks like I taped over all but one section, which is mostly Ace's guitar solo. After it is over you get to hear Paul Stanley introduce Love Gun. I must warn you that the audio is pretty rough and does not match up with what you are watching but it is definitely from this show. It is distorted from the blasting music in Madison Square Garden. My poor boom box didn't stand a chance.

I hope you enjoy it. If you are a die hard fan, the way I am with the Beatles, you will appreciate any crumb of unheard audio no matter how rough it is.

Wiki-poo:
The Dynasty Tour, also known as "The Return of Kiss", was the first tour since Alive II's tour ended on April 2, 1978 in Japan, and also the first to feature the famous flying stunt by Gene Simmons. This was also the first tour to feature Ace Frehley's "lighted-guitar" and his rocket-shooting guitar, where after his "smoke" spewing guitar solo, the still smoking guitar would float up. As it was floating upward, he would appear with another guitar, aim the neck at the floating guitar, shoot the rockets and blow it up. A trick was designed for Paul Stanley that involved him putting on a headset and shooting a laser out of his left eye to mock the effect seen in Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park the year before. After several run-throughs both Stanley and manager Bill Aucoin said no to the idea, citing the danger involved.
The tour, dubbed "The Return Of Kiss", also saw a decline in audience. Additional dates at the Pontiac Silverdome were cancelled. This was the last tour with Peter Criss on drums until 1996.
This tour is also famous for being the only tour to feature songs from all four members solo albums. Simmons performed "Radioactive", Criss performed "Tossin' and Turnin'", Frehley performed "New York Groove", and Stanley performed "Move On". Simmons' and Criss' songs were replaced with more familiar songs early in the tour. Criss' song "Dirty Livin" was reportedly rehearsed, but never performed.
Frehley stated in various interviews that Kiss was becoming a youth-oriented band. It was because kids were showing up dressed in costume and makeup for their shows along with their parents. As a result many teenage fans felt alienated and were turned off by the band.

Wiki-caca :
La tournée Dynasty, également connue sous le nom de "The Return of Kiss", était la première tournée depuis la fin de la tournée d'Alive II le 2 avril 1978 au Japon, et aussi la première à présenter la célèbre cascade volante de Gene Simmons. C'était également la première tournée à présenter la "guitare éclairée" d'Ace Frehley et sa guitare lance-fusée, où après son solo de guitare crachant de "fumée", la guitare encore fumante flottait. Alors qu'elle flottait vers le haut, il apparaissait avec une autre guitare, pointait le manche vers la guitare flottante, tirait sur les fusées et la faisait exploser. Une astuce a été conçue pour Paul Stanley qui consistait à mettre un casque et à tirer un laser depuis son œil gauche pour se moquer de l'effet observé dans Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park l'année précédente. Après plusieurs essais, Stanley et le manager Bill Aucoin ont dit non à l'idée, invoquant le danger que cela représentait.
La tournée, baptisée "The Return Of Kiss", a également connu une baisse d'audience. Des dates supplémentaires au Pontiac Silverdome ont été annulées. C'était la dernière tournée avec Peter Criss à la batterie jusqu'en 1996.
Cette tournée est également célèbre pour être la seule à présenter des chansons des albums solo des quatre membres. Simmons a interprété "Radioactive", Criss a interprété "Tossin' and Turnin'", Frehley a interprété "New York Groove" et Stanley a interprété "Move On". Les chansons de Simmons et Criss ont été remplacées par des chansons plus familières au début de la tournée. La chanson "Dirty Livin" de Criss aurait été répétée, mais jamais interprétée.
Frehley a déclaré dans diverses interviews que Kiss devenait un groupe axé sur les jeunes. C'était parce que les enfants se présentaient costumés et maquillés pour leurs spectacles avec leurs parents. En conséquence, de nombreux fans adolescents se sont sentis aliénés et rebutés par le groupe.

Mainstream press review:
"Let us put Kiss in a humane perspective; that is, if I had been writing magazine articles for seven years and were only known for puking blood on my desk and having skyrockets go off in my typewriter, I would be real depressed. Even if millions of twelve-year-old boys bought belt buckles emblazoned with my face painted like a tree toad, I would have to question my professional competence to write a sentence. So let's all help keep Kiss off lithium and not say their music is lame. We know it. They know it. Millions of twelve-year-old boys don't know it, but they aren't going to figure out music until their pubic hair grows in anyway.
Let us instead praise the Kiss Stage show, which has too many neat special effects that your pubic hair retracts and you become twelve-years-old again and the music doesn't matter. Get this, man: Gene Simmons does this weird bass solo and vomits blood all over himself, just like he always does, but then they hoist him about fifty feet over the audience, where he sings "God of Thunder" with a good imitation of the Christmas bombing of Hanoi exploding all around him. And Ace Frehley shoots skyrockets out of his guitar, man, and Paul Stanley clocks the heels of his eight-inch platforms in, the air, man, and Peter Criss does a drum solo on a hydraulic lift that is lifts him almost as high as Simmons is over the stage lights, man.
Okay, not that much was new (only Simmons' hoist, really) and nothing was spontaneous, but that has always been, the Kiss philosophy: give 'em what they want, only more of it. Kiss would label this democracy. Critics call it demagogy. Whatever it is, it works for the same reasons religion does: it's mystical and awe inspiring, and twelve-year-old boys don't get that in church. Unlike past Kiss stage sets this one is built low to the ground, presumably so they could sell seats behind the stage in large auditoriums. Since they didn't sell seats behind the stage at Madison Square Garden (Kiss' booking agent says this was intentional; the Garden's box office says it wasn't), one can assume there was no demand. Kids on Long Island and New Jersey still buy the myth of instrumental prowess and go for macho jack-off guitar work. Through maximum macho jack-off, Kiss is minimal prowess and must look elsewhere for their strongest audiences.
The opening act, New England, was yet another loathsome attempt by Kiss' management, Aucoin, to generate a second Kiss without makeup. Naming the band after a geographical area (I can think of ten others offhand) is as close as these shitheads have come to originality. I didn't see any licks, aural or visual, that weren't copped directly from Boston. This is, of course, the way Kiss, started cashing-in on a trail blazed by Alice Cooper. You gotta give these half-wits credit for tenacity" (RS #300, Sep. 1979, Charles M. Young).

Revue de presse grand public :
" Plaçons Kiss dans une perspective humaine ; c'est-à-dire que si j'avais écrit des articles dans des magazines pendant sept ans et que j'étais connu uniquement pour vomir du sang sur mon bureau et faire exploser des flèches dans ma machine à écrire, je serais vraiment déprimé. Même si Des millions de garçons de douze ans ont acheté des boucles de ceinture avec mon visage peint comme un crapaud arboricole, je devrais remettre en question mes compétences professionnelles pour écrire une phrase. Alors aidons tous à garder Kiss hors du lithium et ne disons pas que leur musique est nulle. Nous le savons. Ils le savent. Des millions de garçons de douze ans ne le savent pas, mais de toute façon, ils ne comprendront pas la musique tant que leurs poils pubiens n'auront pas poussé.
Louons plutôt le spectacle Kiss Stage, qui a trop d'effets spéciaux soignés pour que vos poils pubiens se rétractent et que vous redeveniez douze ans et que la musique n'a pas d'importance. Comprenez ça, mec : Gene Simmons fait cet étrange solo de basse et vomit du sang partout sur lui, comme il le fait toujours, mais ensuite ils le hissent à une quinzaine de mètres au-dessus du public, où il chante "God of Thunder" avec une bonne imitation de le bombardement de Noël de Hanoï explosant tout autour de lui. Et Ace Frehley tire des fusées fulgurantes avec sa guitare, mec, et Paul Stanley envoie les talons de ses plates-formes de huit pouces dans les airs, mec, et Peter Criss fait un solo de batterie sur un ascenseur hydraulique qui le soulève presque aussi haut que Simmons est au-dessus des lumières de la scène, mec.
D'accord, il n'y avait pas grand-chose de nouveau (seulement le palan de Simmons, en fait) et rien n'était spontané, mais cela a toujours été la philosophie de Kiss : donnez-leur ce qu'ils veulent, seulement plus. Kiss qualifierait cette démocratie. Les critiques appellent cela de la démagogie. Quoi qu’il en soit, cela fonctionne pour les mêmes raisons que la religion : c’est mystique et impressionnant, et les garçons de douze ans ne comprennent pas cela à l’église. Contrairement aux décors précédents de Kiss, celui-ci est construit au ras du sol, probablement pour pouvoir vendre des sièges derrière la scène dans de grands auditoriums. Puisqu'ils n'ont pas vendu de places derrière la scène du Madison Square Garden (l'agent de réservation de Kiss dit que c'était intentionnel ; la billetterie du Garden dit que ce n'était pas le cas), on peut supposer qu'il n'y avait aucune demande. Les enfants de Long Island et du New Jersey adhèrent toujours au mythe des prouesses instrumentales et optent pour un travail de guitare machiste. Grâce à un maximum de branlette machiste, Kiss est une prouesse minime et doit chercher ailleurs son public le plus fort.
L'acte d'ouverture, New England, était une autre tentative répugnante de la direction de Kiss, Aucoin, de générer un deuxième Kiss sans maquillage. Nommer le groupe d'après une zone géographique (je peux penser à dix autres au hasard) est aussi proche que ces connards sont parvenus à l'originalité. Je n'ai vu aucun coup de langue, auditif ou visuel, qui ne provenait pas directement de Boston. C’est bien sûr ainsi que Kiss a commencé à tirer profit d’une piste tracée par Alice Cooper. Il faut reconnaître la ténacité de ces imbéciles » (RS #300, septembre 1979, Charles M. Young).

Notes from KISSmonster:
- From a local review: "The Kiss concert had been viewed by many in the community as a possible crowd control problems, but none were witnessed inside. Instead, a youthful crowd cheered and shouted as one of the most bizarre groups in rock music went through an 80-minutes set with a maximum of flare" (**** Hendrickson, Portland Press Review, 7/29/79).
- KISS briefly held the venue gross record, before being surpassed by a $113,791 Frank Sinatra concert in October (though he only played for 7,593 fans).
