36 years ago today on December 16, 1979, Kiss performed their last concert with the original line-up of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss. It happened at the Toledo Sports Arena 5 months after a sold-out show for Blimpville at the Civic Center. They didn’t get together again until 17 years later on their reunion tour in 1996. Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter were kind enough to include a date in Portland on that tour in March of 1997. That show was also a sell-out.

Join us tonight at 6:20 for live Kiss from the 70s on the WBLM Mini-Concert!

Check out this behind the scenes video of the Making of a Kiss Show on that cool PBS science show for kids, 3-2-1 Contact. The footage is from the Dynasty Tour in 1979.
