As KISSology - Vol. 1 (1974-1977) announces loudly, all the chutzpah and bombast that made KISS so huge--the fire-breathing, the blood-dripping, the kabuki-mask make-up and platform shoes, the synchronized head-bobs--were in place from the very beginning. KISS's 1974 concert in San Francisco is virtually identical to their 1977 concerts in Japan and Houston, at the peak of their popularity. For hardcore fans, this opportunity to bask in the nuances of five performances of "Black Diamond" and six performances of "Firehouse" is essential viewing, but for the less committed the pleasures of KISSology lie in the bizarre collisions pop culture is heir to: Gene Simmons, in full costume, declaring himself "evil incarnate" on The Mike Douglas Show; Margaret Hamilton, done up in her Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch of the West garb, introducing KISS to the ever-cackling Paul Lynde on Lynde's 1976 Halloween special (the footage from this special doesn't include the tender ballad "Beth", undoubtedly due to the estrangement of drummer Peter Criss, who sang the band's highest charting U.S. single); and the truly surreal incident where KISS went to Cadillac, Michigan, and had breakfast with the entire city council wearing full KISS makeup before the band made a spectacular exit by helicopter. Rock & roll is full of strange phenomena, but KISS is one of the most inexplicable: An adolescent fever dream of superheroic hedonism that somehow achieved world-wide stardom and kept its career alive for over 30 years. KISS started as a deliberate cartoon, became a bad joke, and have re-emerged as a fond memory, still cranking out pyrotechnic spectacle. Three volumes of KISSology is probably excessive, but why stop the excess now? --Bret Fetzer

 KISS VOL. 1'74-'77 June 29, 2008
as a member of the original KISS road crew I am very pleased with this offering as I am in the video several times. A great way for me to perserve my history w/KISS.
Wow.... June 14, 2008
To all of you people who are so-called "diehard" KISS fans and only give this set one or two stars because of video quality, you aren't fans at all. These concerts and interviews were taken and not tampered with at all straight from the 70s, so of course the video quality is going to be bad. You should be happy they released this set at all. Stop complaining and be thankful....
Vol. 1 Kissology February 6, 2008
This 1st installment of the Kisssology series was a joy to watch.All the footage is the original line-up in the 70's.Some of the sound quality is a little off but what can you expect it's from the 70's.Great footage of concerts and TV appearances.Number one highlight of these DVD's a drunk Ace Frehley on the Tom Snyder show just laughing it up while mainly Gene has a look of disgust.Bonus disc I got was in 1977 @ Madison square garden in N.Y.C.Definitly the best one of the 3 and I would highly recommend it.
