Average White Band was at the height of their popularity, touring in support of their 3rd record "Cut the Cake", and this performance captured at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania on 16 September 1975 features their new drummer/legend Steve Ferrone. Original drummer Robbie MacIntosh had died suddenly a year previous, and the bands future was in question until Steve helped the band recover from their tragic loss and move forward.
Kiss had just released their breakthrough album "Kiss Alive", and the tracks recorded here at the Music Hall in Cleveland, Ohio on 21 June 1975 were taken from the same shows that were recorded for the official release. Not only did "Kiss Alive" save Kiss' career, it also saved their record label "Casablanca" which was on the verge of collapse.
