Duct Taped At A Kiss Concert

I have family members that are professional photographers.  I used to spend my summers with them, in Southern Ohio.  They had a friend who was a freelance photographer.  He told me a story about a Kiss concert...

He was backstage with the stage manager walking around and getting some instructions.  They hear some muffled yelling and come upon a woman who has been duct taped to a wall.  She had a piece over her mouth and was just hanging there.  The friend was more then a little surprised, but the manager didn't seem at all concerned.  The friend said, "Should we do something?  Like get her down?"  Manager said, "Nope, we don't know why they put her up there."  And, on they went. 

Later they passed the same way and could see where someone had, very carefully, cut her down.

That is a different story.

I can see it happening. When I was 17, I worked as a stage door guard and usher at a local concert venue. I played tongue tag with Gene Simmons after a show, and it probably would have gone farther, but I had to catch a ride home with my friend's Mom.

That is awful! It must have happened a long time ago, these days it would have been followed by a lawsuit.
What happens backstage, stays backstage - until someone writes their memoirs.

I think Gene Simmons and a roll of duct tape could make for an interesting evening.
I wonder what the reaction would be if the guards at Gitmo did something like that?

Ellie: "these days it would have been followed by a lawsuit."

Nah! Not if they let her keep the tape.

Today this is a common prank in college dorms.
This was in the 70s....

she must have needed to be taped up there, who knows what misery she avoided by being so detained!
Thank you Georgie! People seriously need to lighten up. Backstage, Kiss concert, 70s...
She could have been trippin, rollin, smacked out, or just into S&M.
