Music video
A music video was directed by Jean Pellerin and Doug Freel. It was filmed on August 8, 1987, at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA. The video shows the band performing on a giant stage in front of a crowd.
The Kiss fans that were present that day got free tickets through the radio station KNAC. During the filming, the fans would party between takes to maintain the energy of the setting and event. The band also gave the audience a mini concert where they played some of their singles like "Cold Gin", "Lick It Up", "Detroit Rock City", and "Whole Lotta Love".
It was featured in the "Crazy Nights" home video.[6]
