On January 30, 1973, Kiss performed their first concert to an audience of three at the Popcorn Club (renamed Coventry shortly afterward) in Queens. For the first three gigs, January 30 \u2013 February 1, they wore no or little makeup, it was not until the March 9\u201310 shows at The Daisy in Amityville, NY that they would wear the makeup that would become their famous designs.\u00a0 The feedback from these early performances was less than positive at times but nobody could deny the fact that KISS was doing something unique.\u00a0 Little did these folks know that KISS would go on to change the face of rock & roll forever, play to legions of fans and inspire a string of bands that would carry on the theatrical legacy of shows way into the 2000’s.<\/p>\n
