CADILLAC — Arguably one of the best live rock albums of all time was recorded in Detroit by the band KISS, but it was a stop in Cadillac that still has area residents talking about the quartet with heavy makeup 50 years later.
That October 1975 stop included a visit with the Cadillac varsity football team, a homecoming concert in the high school gym and the band members presented with a key to the city.

A 10-foot, 5,000-pound granite monument was unveiled near the high school to mark 40 years since the Cadillac concert and now banners throughout town will honor the band’s visit through the 50-year anniversary celebration this fall.
It has been 10 years since Ros Radley appeared on Three Sides of the Coin saying the Magic book would be released Xmas 2015, still no updates… but lets be real, the book is not happening.
And Paul Stanley in a recent interview… Stanley told Broken Record about the Vegas event (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “ It started off as something, honestly, that Gene and I kind of took a back seat in, and, honestly, we reached a point not too far in the past where we both said, ‘You know what? This isn’t the way we want it.’ And it’s going to go through some major changes to be what we think it should be.
“We spent 12 years nurturing a KISS cruise and what that means and what goes into it and what you get to participate in and the social aspects between fans from 33 countries,” Paul explained. “So, this virtually will become a KISS cruise in Vegas. [It] doesn’t need a ship. It will have all the familiar touchstones that people love about a KISS cruise, whether it’s bands playing, Q&As, contests, food available, good drinks, social aspects to it.
“So, it started in a way that we kind of took a step back to see what some other people might do. And then we recently found ourselves going, ‘No. This isn’t what we want to do or the way we wanna do it.’ So there’ll be some announcements forthcoming and a lot of stuff where people are gonna be very happy, as I am, that.
