KISS, I think it was 1978 at the New Haven Coliseum in New Haven, CT. I went with 2 other guys. We were way up in the rafters, enveloped in a cloud of weed smoke the whole night; they guy behind us puked all over one of my buddies about 2/3 the way through. I never had such a sore throat in my life for about 3 days after and it wasn't from screaming or yelling.
As for the Ventures, I picked up their CD "Live in Japan", recorded in I think 1965, glad I did. I can remember listening to the album as a kid. Its recorded very well and is worth a listen to.
