It was 40 years ago to the day...KISS came to Ada
You can pay up to $150 nowadays to see a KISS concert, but 40 years ago to the day, ONU students got into King-Horn gym to see KISS, The James Gang, and The Flock for a mere $5.
Pictured (seated) are Ryan Oberlin, Abigail Green, and Professor Jimmy Wilson talking informally with some audience members following a showing of a 33-minute documentary Saturday at the Dicke Building.
As a project for an historical geography class, the students interviewed several people who attended the long-ago concert and turned those interviews into a documentary. For Ada it was a wild night.
The video will be shown again, probably in November, with more background music and effects added.
KISS continues to perform, and they do so with the same original four members.
