Kiss Concert February 23-24 1976 Los Angeles.  Alive! Tour Memorabilia

Description

Between August of 1974 and August of 1976, I was a production assistant for Fun Productions in the Southern California area. I worked 25 rock concerts during those two years. My job had me setting up, maintaining and breaking down tuning rooms and stages, along with other grunt stuff.  While working the stage, I would often discover a fair amount of band droppings that would require my attention. Being the nice guy I was (not anymore) I'd often toss these droppings out to the audience. Some I kept and they're what I've decided to sell on eBay to YOU, oh lucky eBayer!
From a Kiss concert at the Los Angeles Sports Arena on February 23-24, 1976
One balloon. Never inflated. Slight staining from storage. Still inflatable with no visible cracks (that I can see). This was spared the fate of its fellow balloon friends who were inflated and dropped to their deaths among thousands of screaming Kiss fans waiting below the nets that suspended them from the ceiling. There were small black ones too. I was able to save some of the black ones also but they didn't survive the years in storage and fused into a glob.
One used (for both shows) backstage pass which proudly displays the battle scars and patina of a actually
worn on the stage during the show
, backstage pass that's over 45 years old.
One guitar pick. Found on the stage. I don't remember which band dropped it. Probably Montrose?
One Montrose pin.

Notes:
- While in Los Angeles, Ron Boutwell and Bill Aucoin dined at the Scandia restaurant and were reported in the press as sharing a 0 bottle of 1882 Chateau Lafite Rothschild (Los Angeles Times, 3/4/76). Things were indeed looking up for the band's merchandising...
- An after show party was held at the Forum's club featuring games, horror flicks, champagne, and a 2-ton buffet. A special mask served as invitation.
