Hydra opened, then UFO. Marc Bolan put on a great show with T-Rex. We had no idea who or what Kiss was.

Needless to say, high as we were, Kiss blew us away with their costumes, stage show, and ear splitting rock.

That was the best way to see Kiss -- no clue what to expect. One of my friends bought their album, and we were decidedly unimpressed.

But that night at the Aragon is something I won't forget. We saw saw other shows there as well, including Sly and the Family Stone. The Aragon "Brawlroom" (apparently we weren't the only ones to call it that) was quite a contrast to the classy Uptown Theater on the other side of the street.
