KISS Live Performance of Classic Hits at Capitol Centre, Largo, MD

Venue: Capital Centre Location: Landover, Maryland, United States Date: July 8, 1979

KISS delivered a powerful live performance at the Capitol Centre on July 8, 1979, showcasing their electrifying stage presence and iconic personas. This concert took place during a pivotal phase in their career, shortly after the release of their album 'Dynasty' in 1979, which marked a shift towards a more pop-oriented sound. Interestingly, it was also the first album to feature guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss participating less prominently, as both were preparing for personal projects. The band's extravagant stage setups and flamboyant costumes were at their peak during this era, captivating audiences and solidifying KISS's reputation as rock legends. This performance captures a moment of transition, as KISS balanced the demands of mainstream appeal while not losing their signature, larger-than-life attitude.
