How many times have you seen
KISS in concert?
Once, Tuesday, August 16, 1977 at The Cow Palace
in San Francisco. Opening band: Cheap Trick. I,
with a friend from school, went against my parents'
wishes. We hooked up with four other friends from
school at the concert. Both parents and a family
friend were parked at curb near the doors, waiting
for me to exit. "Can we drive my friend's
home too, Dad?"
. 10 people in the
Granada including Both parents, a family friend
and her child.
