Kiss: Hammersmith Odeon, London
Harry Doherty, Melody Maker, 22 May 1976
MAN, KISS HAD everything; every single effect in the book. They had a perfect lighting system; dry ice; smoke bombs; a fire-eater; a huge lighted insignia; sirens; confetti that simulated a blizzard; guitars; drums. EVERYTHING.
