Kiss Live Performance of Shock Me at Capital Centre, Largo, MD

Venue: Capital Centre Location: Landover, Maryland, United States Date: December 20, 1977

In December 1977, KISS was riding high on the success of their album 'Love Gun,' which had released just a few months earlier. This exhilarating time marked the band's ascent as a rock powerhouse, and the live performance captured in 'Shock Me' at the Capital Centre shows them in their prime—full of energy and showmanship. 'Alive II,' the live album they were touring in support of, was released shortly after this concert and showcased their electrifying performances. It's interesting to note that 'Shock Me' features Ace Frehley on lead vocals, a rare treat considering his usual role as the enigmatic lead guitarist. This live recording not only encapsulates KISS's theatrical flair but also highlights the camaraderie of the band as they engage with fans, solidifying their legendary status in rock history.
