When KISS brought the thunder to The Summit in Houston in 1976

On August 13, 1976 a white-hot KISS came to Houston concert venue The Summit for just their third show in the area.

The band at this point was blowing up after releasing the hit LP “Destroyer” and brought a pyrotechnic-heavy rock show with them to thrill fans. Opening with “Detroit Rock City” and closing with “Black Diamond,” there are still fans in Houston that can recount every minute of the concert.

"Destroyer" was KISS' fourth album and their breakthrough studio release. It was more polished then the earlier albums and that helped sales.
