What if KISS showed up to play in your high school gym? That actually happened in Cadillac, Michigan in 1975 — and after nearly 50 years, incredible Super 8 footage of that legendary event has finally surfaced!
In this episode, Robert and Gary dive deep into newly released KISS concert footage filmed by 19-year-old DJ Dale K. Myers, who captured the band performing “Strutter” in a small-town gymnasium — complete with the band’s full stage setup, students sitting cross-legged on the floor, and Gene Simmons breathing fire (outside the gym, of course).
We explore how KISS’s visit to Cadillac became one of the most unlikely rock ’n’ roll legends in history — born from a high school football team that wore KISS makeup for motivation, went on a winning streak, and somehow convinced the hottest band in America to come celebrate.
This video also ties into the 50th anniversary of KISS Alive! and Alive II, as well as the surge of new KISS stories — from Ace Frehley’s studio fall to Gene Simmons’s recent Vegas headlines.
Robert and Gary share their reactions, show off vintage Super 8 reels, and reflect on why this unearthed footage is truly a gift to the KISS Army.
