Security would be all over the people in the aisle and would toss them back. I can’t imagine getting away with that today. I spent at least half the show parked in the aisle about three rows back.

For film I had two rolls of Tri-X and one roll of Vericolor.

Growing up just outside New York City, my friends and I were always frustrated with not being able to get decent tickets to the big concerts. I was quite jealous, so a couple of years later when Kiss announced their debut concert at Madison Square Garden, I decided to go all in. As with all teenagers, it was extremely important for us to be the “first” to discover and love a new band, and we were hooked very early on Kiss – way before the rest of the world discovered them after their “Alive” album.Ī couple of my friends were lucky enough to score tickets to their show at the Beacon Theater in New York on Ma(remarkably the concert was recorded and can be heard in its entirety on YouTube). Sometime in 1974 my friends and I learned about a new band that was about to release their debut album: Kiss.
