- Scope and ContentsThe Kiss Poster is a reproduction concert poster from a performance held at William Fremd High School in Palatine, Illinois, on April 19, 1975. The concert was sponsored by the school's booster club in hopes of raising money to build a sign to promote upcoming events in front of the school. A local promoter provided Viking's Booster Club with a list of bands that would be in the area, and the students were allowed to vote for which band they would like to see. The winner: Kiss, who were touring with Rush and Rockandy at the time. The show was produced by Prophet Productions, and tickets were $4.50. The poster reproduction showcases the marketing for two groups (Kiss and Rush), who were both on the verge of becoming mainstream rock and roll success stories. Seen in a broader context, the poster provides insight to the touring circuit in the mid-1970s, how those shows were promoted, and the performers of that era.
