The idea resulted in the pair spending an entire week on the show as co-hosts.Krauss is taking his memories of their appearances, along with pictures and other memorabilia, and putting together a coffee table book. What he needs to finish the project is some input from people who remember the broadcasts or have interesting insights or memories.He is looking to do a focus group next week in or around Greenwich, Connecticut. If you are in the area and would like to participate or have any comments that you would like to send along to the author, please write his assistant at jack.mckean@gmail.com.
Friday Flashback: KISS on the Mike Douglas Show 1974
2007-10-19 15:03:00 My friend Lisa alerted me to this great clip of KISS making their first television appearance on the Mike Douglas Show in 1974. For those of you who have no idea who Mike Douglas is, he had a hugely influential afternoon talk show that regularly featured great musical guests, including John Lennon and Yoko Ono, the Rolling Stones, Hermits Hermits, The Turtles, and Barbara Streisand. Many acts--like KISS--credit his show with bringing them their first national exposure. This performance was recorded on April 29, just weeks into the group's first concert tour, having signed with Casablanca records just six months earlier.
