This is a really rare set from my personal KISS collection! I think they used Binghamton as a test show, Paul and Gene mention Binghamton before almost every song, over 30 times throughout the show!!!
Paul is on point! One of his best shows ever vocally! Ace solos are so good, epic!! Peter played a lot of fills I’ve never heard of! It is so good!! Genes vocals are spot on as well!! No lip syncs on this show at all!! Pure KISS, they were literally on fire 🔥
Speaking of fire, KISS were banned from Binghamton, NY in 1975 after they played the Arena because the pyro flames 🔥 torched the roof!! 😳🤷♂️🤣 of course that was lifted! Lol~ so this is a pretty historic show! This is my favorite KISS concert of all time, they were really into it, you can tell they were really having fun this night!! Very RARE show for sure!! Very casual~ I understand Binghamton, NY was where they used to hang out upstate, when they used to live in NYC~ the whole band is very vocal, talking to each other, and interacting with each other by name, quite a cool concert!! You’ll notice, when ACE sings shock me, he addresses Peter, and even he mentions Binghamton before his guitar 🎸solo! During “let me go, rock ‘n’ roll”, Gene introduces Peter Criss from Brooklyn , and then introduces Ace Frehley from the Bronx never heard that before in any Kiss concert!!! And the solo in let me go rock ‘n’ roll is epic. Gene, Peter and Ace and Paul are just rocking it !! The crowd sings “Do You Love Me” enthusiastically with Paul and the band!! Binghamton really must be a special place for KISS! You can feel it on this recording!! Simply one of the best KISS concerts ever!!! 🔥🤟❤️🎵🥳🇺🇸
