NEW DYNASTY VIDEO
December 12, 1979: Peter Criss's final interview with KISS from the last days of the Dynasty Tour has surfaced online to promote the final week of KISS auctions from eBay seller EliteWorks which can be seen here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZeliteworks

Just prior to taking the stage at Biloxi's Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum, the four members of KISS taped a rarely seen anti-drug interview for West German TV. No one knew it at the time but it would the last time, all four original members of KISS would be interviewed together until April 1996. The cool thing about this footage is KISS can be seen hanging out right in front of their oft-referenced Superman curtain that hangs every night (till this day) outside their dressing room.

This week's auctions include everything from the lost 1981 "I" music video (THE STARTING BID IS NOW ONLY $99) to Ace Frehley and Eric Singer autographs, master photo slides for iconic KISS images (all eras), the KISS Alive! July '75 Print Ad centerfold from Casablanca Records, 76-'86 XL T-shirts, press kits and lots more...

"NEW" LIVE CD
(from Amazon)
THE BEST KNOWN LIVE 1974 KISS RECORDING IN EXISTENCE. In March 1974, Kiss performed Nothin' to Lose, Firehouse, and Black Diamond on ABC's In Concert program, their first television appearance. On April 29th, the band performed Firehouse on The Mike Douglas Show. This broadcast included Simmons first televised interview, a conversation with Douglas in which Simmons declared himself evil incarnate, eliciting titters from an uncomfortable and largely confused studio audience. In-between these two TV performances the band played at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland Ohio, on April 1st 74, in support of Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher, a show broadcast across the greater Ohio Area by WMMS-FM, as part of their Nights Out At The Agora series, letting local rock fans who didnt attend sample a taste of this outrageous new act. This album contains all of the performances mentioned above - the entire Agora show - for the first time ever on CD - and the two television appearances - including the hilarious Mike Douglas interview.
