‘DRESSED TO KILL TOUR 75/76' KISS:
As opening act KISS was not getting much respect. The headlining tour and the staff always tried to harm them. The KISS show was technically advanced for groups at that time. The bands felt intimidated by the sheer magnitude of what they were doing, while KISS was an opening act gave literally explosive shows. What happened is that KISS crushed everyone on stage, and this caused them big problems. They had many problems as an opening act for this show was much better and stronger.
Black Sabbath were very pushy and mean with KISS, ”You can not do this, and you can do that.” They said, ”You have forty minutes, not a second more, or cut off the lights and sound” and if we were moving, they did, remembered former KISS Road Crew member Mike McGurl.
KISS had a confrontation in Providence, Rhode Island on August 8, 1975 with the Sabbath . Black Sabbath set up their stage and had not left enough space for KISS's battery lift platform or space for the band was one foot in front. Sabbath had room to pull back but did not want to. KISS's Manager Bill Aucoin addressed the KISS road crew,” they will not recede for us so we will not touch anything. Gather the team and stick it in the truck, get out of here.” So I put everything in the truck and when I was putting the lock on the back of the truck, Bill came out, gave everyone a ticket for $ 50 and said , ‘Return to play : they gave in.” So they reassembled the team and played the concert.

Master audience recording taped by Dan Lampinski
Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings. In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell cassettes.
He recorded many of the major 70's bands: Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, ELP, Kiss, Black Sabbath, The Who, Al Stewart, Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Jean-Luc Ponty, Moody Blues, Neil Young, The Faces, Rush, Rick Wakeman, Kansas, as well as several "under the radar" acts.
Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.
Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community
