KISS in Cadillac, MI 1975 a DJ Shares Stories About Interviewing Them & Filming the Concert!

Episode 638. NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN CONCERT FOOTAGE OF KISS AT CADILLAC HS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED ON THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY We sit down with Dale K. Myers. In 1975, I was a disc-jockey, Dale K. Myers, at WATT 1240-AM Radio in Cadillac, Michigan. When KISS came to town in October, I interviewed Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley, and filmed KISS performing at Cadillac HS. The audio and film recordings have been locked away in a safe deposit box for the last fifty-years. On the night of October 9, 2025 – on the 50th Anniversary of KISS on stage at Cadillac HS – I’ll be releasing my short-film, “A Disc-Jockey’s Recollections of KISS: Live at Cadillac High – October 8-10, 1975.” The film includes the story of my interactions with the band during their visit, my broadcast interview of Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley (heard only once, over WATT 1240-AM on the night of October 8, 1975), my own exclusive photographs of the band’s arrival at Cadillac HS, and last but certainly not least, never-before-seen Super 8mm sound film footage of KISS in concert at Cadillac HS. The film footage includes shots of Gene Simmons “breathing” fire atop a limousine outside the gym just before the concert, a panning shot of the crowd gathering inside the Cadillac HS gym before the concert, the crowd erupting as KISS comes on stage, KISS performing the opening song, “Deuce”; and KISS performing all of “Strutter.” There are no official films of the concert, which explains why we haven’t seen anything except amateur (and many faked) offerings over the years. Fully restored in digital 4K, I believe the footage I shot is the best there is. You be the judge.
