Not quite as old (and not to hijack the thread)-
I shot these at MSG in 1977:

Isn't that a Model one sitting in Gene's Custom Spector?

It is a Model One - the earliest ones were silver, and I've never seen one in the flesh.

I have, at a Vintage fair a couple of years ago, in a modified sixties Epiphone Rivoli.

Ok, I see it now, it is too wide for a G, the non-black color had me fooled.

You definitely had the better view, Lowend...  Nice... ;D

Been busy and still not finished scanning (negs at 7200dpi is chunky and trying to do basic repairs...  :sad:) - I asked for it...

Back when ready...

ps, Dave... if the shots are taken by the "gang" (as in Lowends) and from the same era, the more the merrier...  :mrgreen:  ;D  :mrgreen:  ;D  :mrgreen:

That was back when a regular guy could still get 1st row tix for a concert at MSG - or anywhere, for that matter. They cost big money, too - $20 from a local ticket broker. ;D

The Hammersmith photo's were great!  I sent them to my guitar player (who has 3 Destroyers from 1976) and he has never seen a photo of Ace with the Alive costume playing one.  Too cool!

Nice shots!

Are those folded horns behind him?  For some reason I always thought he used the standard Ampeg 8x10s

He switched to those folded horns for the ALIVE! tour and kept them at least through ALIVE! II. Good technology for a PA system at the time, terrible for a bass rig.

I didn't even catch that! I've only seen him in the Destroyer costume with an Explorer and/or Ibanez Destroyer. The Ibanez had a black pickguard.

Nope, Ace's destroyer came with a white pickguard, the one with the Black guard was a custom order Gibson with a flamed maple top.

Nice pics! My dad took me to see Kiss in '77 or '78 at Cumberland County Memorial Auditoreum in Fayetteville, NC. He bought a KISS logo belt buckle and I bought a tour book, both of which I still have. The tour book even has the KISS ARMY iron-on still inside!

Our school's student body president was there near the front and when Gene or Paul smashed his guitar to pieces, he got the neck and headstock!

Must have been Paul, he's the one who does the smashing act at the end of every performance, but the guitars he smashes are props, prepped to snap on impact.
