Never-Before-Seen, Vintage KISS Photos Featured In New Book

July 16, 2009

As a longtime fan of rock and a resident of Enid, Oklahoma, Richard Galbraith has attended countless concerts since the early '70s, and documented most of them with this photography. LED ZEPPELIN, ALICE COOPER, RAMONES, THE SEX PISTOLS, and BLACK SABBATH (among many others) have all passed through the lens of Mr. Galbraith.

In his first-ever photo book, "Richard Galbraith Photography Presents: KISS", the reader is offered a glimpse of almost every single major concert the masked quartet played in Oklahoma from 1976 through 1986. Comprised of nearly 100 never-before-seen pictures (in both color and black and white),the book also contains notes and memories of the shows from Richard, from interviews conducted by renowned rock writer Greg Prato. Additionally, many of the photographs in the book are available for individual sale through Richard (as well as more other photos not included in the book).

The shows that are photographed and featured in the book include:

01. March 8, 1976 - Tulsa, Oklahoma [Tulsa Assembly Center]
02. July 26, 1976 - Kansas City, Missouri [Municipal Auditorium]
