"Rock and Roll All Nite" first showed up in 1975 as the lead single from Dressed to Kill, Kiss's third album, a Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons party manifesto with Neil Bogart producing for Casablanca. In the studio version it was a modest start, getting to 68 on the Billboard singles chart, which still beat "Kissin' Time" at 89.
It took the stage to make it explode. The live take, issued as a single that October, sounds like the band finally caught in its natural habitat, and it climbed to 12 early in 1976, the first of six Kiss songs to crack the Top 20 that decade. It became their signature song, and since 1976 it has closed nearly every show they've played.
