Dick Clark's "In Concert" - KISS

The First TV Appearance of KISS

The band's first national TV appearance was recorded at the Aquarius Theater in Los Angeles on Feb. 19, 1974, and aired on March 29. When Clark himself – famous for American Bandstand and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve shows, among others – visited Kiss in their dressing room, Stanley found himself starstruck. “When I shook his hand, all I could think was, ‘That’s Dick fucking Clark!’”
