Kiss Me at the Blarney Rose: The Flaming Pablum Photo Quiz is Back Again

Okay, after the somewhat protracted quiz of Lunch with the Buzzcocks, I thought I'd toss out an easy one for you all.

Normally, I ask first to identify the individuals in the photograph, but if you can't figure that one out from the get-go, then why are you even reading this weblog?

In any case, this is indeed KISS -- back before they'd become a fatuous, avaricious embarrassment intent on sullying their own legacy (and way, way before having their likenesses inexplicably painted on an East Houston street wall). I know the answers to these questions already but what I'm posing to you, dear reader, is:

WHO TOOK THIS PHOTOGRAPH? and CAN YOU CITE THE EXACT LOCATION?

Go to it.

Hint: With the possible exception of an Ace Frehley spotting at Manitoba's decades later, this is the furthest downtown I've ever seen the band photographed.
