At the Palladium, New York City, USA, drummer Eric Carr debuts live with Kiss, replacing Peter Criss. Full article:
Peter Criss : A few weeks after I got back from my honeymoon, I got a call to come to the office because the guys had something important to discuss,” he wrote. “I got to our conference room, which had a nice bar and a huge round table and all our gold records on the walls.
