Q. What iconic rock band launched a tour from Memorial Auditorium in 1975?

A. Heading into its show at Memorial Auditorium on Sept. 10, 1975, Kiss was a 2-year-old band that was making a name for itself with its live shows while struggling to sell its studio albums.

But the 1975 Chattanooga show started a stretch that would become a defining period for a band that produced more gold albums than any American group in history and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014. The show at the Memorial Auditorium happened the same day the band’s double-live album “Alive!” was released. “Alive!” became Kiss’ first gold record and helped light “the fuse on a rocket that would send them to worldwide fame,” according to the website Classic Rock & Culture.

Of course, the music was only part of the story for Kiss. Band members Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss were known for their on-stage antics, platform boots, black leather and makeup.

Ah, the makeup!

“You could probably hire the best makeup artists in Hollywood and not come up with anything nearly as cool and sublime as the iconic Kabuki masks these young musicians created for themselves,” the band’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame profile said.

But while Kiss may have been a rising force in music on Sept. 10, 1975, its presence in the Scenic City was of little interest to either the morning Chattanooga Times or evening Chattanooga News-Free Press. Neither paper previewed or reviewed the concert. The only mentions Chattanooga Knows research could find was a small standalone picture with a caption about the coming show in the Aug. 31, 1975, News-Free Press and a display ad about a week later in the same paper.

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.

The biggest hit single that Kiss ever had in America was in 1976 with Beth — a ballad sung by the band’s drummer Peter Criss.

“It was such a big departure for them,” says Bob Ezrin, the producer and co-writer of the song.

In a new interview for CBS News show The National, Ezrin recalls how Beth was created from humble beginnings and transformed into a classic rock ballad with a unique sound.

“I don’t think Beth was a power ballad,” Ezrin says. “There’s no big rock ’n’ roll guitars, no drums…”

He also recalls how Beth was originally greeted with outright hostility by many diehard Kiss fans: “People thought it was like heresy!” he says.

Ezrin was enlisted by Kiss for their fourth studio album Destroyer after he had produced huge hits for Alice Cooper with songs such as School’s Out and Only Women Bleed.

Paul Stanley recently reflected on KISS’s evolution after the departure of original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. He shared his thoughts during an appearance on The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan.

The KISS frontman discussed the band’s transition period. He explained how new members Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer revitalized the group’s spirit.

“By ‘Psycho Circus,’ we knew the end was coming and what we would what we would do,” Stanley said. “Again, to have created something so wonderful with Peter and Ace and Gene, then to see it just in such terrible shape and the acrimony and everything, it was so difficult.”

Stanley explained his determination to continue despite the challenges. He credited manager Doc McGhee for his support.

“The people that were glad that we went away were the ones who hated us, and they were the ones who were angry when we came back,” he continued. “But I wanted to continue. I couldn’t imagine it (retiring) quite honestly. But Doc was one of those people going ‘You can you can continue.’ And what Tommy and Eric brought to the band was the spirit that Ace and Peter no longer had. So that’s as important as the music.”
