Original KISS road crew member, Peter “Moose” Oreckinto returns to the Decibel Geek podcast for a second week to continue discussing the early days of the band and the struggles they encountered.
In this long-form discussion, Oreckinto discusses pivotal early concerts for the band including the Fillmore East showcase for record executives in January of 1974, television tapings for ABC’s In Concert and the Mike Douglas Show, and a strange concert at an Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska in front of some very surprised soldiers.
This in-depth discussion also has Oreckinto recounting his return to the band after injury rehabilitation in a management role on the Destroyer tour and how playing baseball stadiums differed from the early club days.
The episode is available for download/streaming at this location.
Peter “Moose” Oreckinto contributed to the upcoming book ‘Nothin’ to Lose: The Making of KISS (1972-1975) due to be released on September 10th, 2013. With interviews of over 200 others that worked with/for the band during those formative years, this book was put together by the band and author Ken Sharp and is expected to be one of, if not the, best KISS-related book to be released.
