Congrats Andrew!!

I heard you won the Double Dong award over in Europe. Congrats on that too. The world loves your KISS related work. Are you still doing music? Your a great drummer. I figured you gave up the Kiss tribute stuff to do your own music. Keep up the good work!!

Cheers!!

I'm a little confused on what is special about this?
I've had all this footage for almost two decades.
It's time for something new from the classic lineup.

There's always one...

My projects take existing footage and edit them together to present them in a different way.

I took all three Cobo Hall 76 shows. Synced them to the 2nd night's audio and then created new visual edits of the concert footage. I completely color corrected all the footage to match. You'd be surprised that visually the three nights look very different. Next, I grabbed some Tv Footage and added narration from a reasonably rare Alison Steele radio program. The outcome is something that could have been a 1976 TV Special. I even included 70's commercials to give it a true vintage feel. Over 200,000 views later, people seem to be enjoying it.

Not everything needs to include rare or unseen footage.

Peter's drumming in those days was the icing on the cake for KISS. He was great and they swung.

In the 70s, I don't recall the NBC chyron being used as it is in this video.

That logo was created in 1975 and began being used fully in 1976. It was finally retired in 1986.

The logo was not the issue. I was referring to the placement of the chyron in your film. I don't recall NBC using their chyron as you used it.

Some of the Movies of the Week used it, but it's meant to be there to create a feeling of nostalgia.

I rewatched it a couple of times this week, while working from home during our latest lockdown, so I likely helped it go double platinum! Also just shared it to my Facebook with the following description:

"Nothing like a bit of early, hungry KISS to get you up and moving on a chilly Friday morning. This recent fan film was put together by Andrew Sgambati and is terrific. It utilizes vintage live footage of the band from Cobo Hall 1976, with narration provided by the late Alison Steele, taken from both a 1976 radio interview and 1977 TV interview she did with the band. The whole thing is presented in the style of a classic 1970s late-night rock music special, complete with vintage TV ads from the era to give it an authentic feel. KISS need to hire Sgambati, his work is better than many official KISS releases."

This was really well done. It'd be cool if you took a similar approach to additional videos.

Thank you!!

My channel is full of more just like it.

The Greatest Show on Earth - the 1977 in concert film that should have happened
One Last Time - EOTR documentary centered around their last MSG show
Alive96 - The live concert VHS we all wanted after the reunion
