Before KISS gave us four American rock icons, they were just four young guys in New York City trying to play music to impress girls. Now you can see the earliest footage of KISS playing live thanks to Dangerous Minds.

The website unearthed live KISS footage from the Coventry Club in Queens, December 21st, 1973. The video starts with a man telling the audience “Put you lips together! Ladies and gentlemen, KISS!”

The band is shown playing “Deuce” and “Cold Gin” from their debut album which wouldn’t be released until 2 months later.
