KISS

During the summer of 1977, KISS was riding high from the massive success of their album "Destroyer," released in March that year. "Destroyer" was a pivotal moment in their career, marking a significant shift in their musical approach with its orchestration and production quality. By the time they performed "Beth" live in Largo, Florida, on June 30, 1977, KISS had solidified their status as icons of rock 'n' roll, blending theatricality with catchy melodies. Interestingly, "Beth"—a power ballad sung by drummer Peter Criss—was an unconventional hit for the band, showcasing a softer side that unexpectedly resonated with audiences. This live performance encapsulates the height of their glam rock phase, where their elaborate stage presence and explosive energy captivated fans, solidifying their legendary reputation.
