Kiss "Unmasked Tour" November 18, 1980 - Adelaide Oval.

I was 15 at the time and it was my first live concert.

It was dry most of the day but just before the concert the wind picked up and it started to rain.
I'll never forget how Gene Simmon had to lean into the wind and rain to stop from falling over.

To their cred they put on a great show regardless.

From the Wiki page.

The Unmasked Tour was a 1980 concert tour by the hard rock group Kiss. It was the first tour not to feature original drummer Peter Criss, and the touring debut of his replacement Eric Carr. The Unmasked tour was the first time that Kiss only played in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, with only one show played in the United States, at the Palladium Theatre in New York. "Cold Gin" returned to the set for the first time since the Rock & Roll Over Tour,"You're All That I Want" was performed briefley, but was quickly dropped. "Strutter", which had not been performed live since the Destroyer Tour, returned to the set as well. Iron Maiden were the opening act for the European leg of the tour.[1][2]

This would be the last tour that Ace Frehley would perform with Kiss until the 1996 reunion tour.
