Today Tonight - Kiss
Television (Excerpts) – 1980
This segment of regional show Today Tonight covers the arrival at Wellington Airport of glam-rockers Kiss (with faces obscured), and the erection of 22 tonnes of equipment for their 1980 ‘Unmasked’ tour. Presented by Roger Gascoigne, the item shows playful sound bites from Simmons and co in full make-up, plus contest winner Scott Loveday after he gets to meet the band. Gene Simmons might have been made for loving you baby, but the "hottest rock show on earth" (tickets $12.50) battles against wind and rain at Athletic Park. The park is now the site of a retirement village.
Well, here I am, Saturday afternoon, Wellington airport, waiting for what’s advertised as the hottest rock show on earth. Hottest rock show on earth? That’ll start a few arguments in itself.– Roger Gascoigne
