New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ MegaPlatinum Entertainment) - A near complete concert from KISS' early days has surfaced on Youtube. The legendary "Live in Long Beach" 8mm film, which was synced to audio for the Kissology DVD series, and features the only known performance of the rare KISS track "Acrobat", surfaced in it's entirety on Sunday afternoon. The 4 part video, which was found under username kisslongbeach74, was KISS' first concert on the West Coast and their 6th show of 1974. NYC Rocker Nick Vivid, the author of the film's audio sync, commented on making the video. "I did it years ago. A lot of people know I was a self proclaimed KISS Archivist at one time," says Nick. "I was a big fan, and then the band ended up using some of my work. I'm really proud of the Acrobat film being included on the DVD." When asked how he knew it was Acrobat on the silent film, Nick commented, "I was such a big geek about them that I could tell based on the lighting and stage movements which song they were doing, and when Acrobat came on I said 'What song is THIS?'. Then I took the Memphis '74 bootleg and synced it up. It was a real thrill to help create and contribute to the community a part of, what is now, Kisstory." Nick Vivid is the CEO of MegaPlatinum Entertainment, a rock and punk music discovery and new media service, which can be found at xxx.megaplatinum.net. MegaPlatinum is also recording a live album at Williamsburg Brooklyn's most notorious rock and punk venue, The Trash Bar, on June 4-6, featuring 16 of New York's best underground rock and punk bands.
