And I will be editing my 1st post this way the setlist stays on top and doesn't get buried

Didn't use the rise out from the stage intro. Instead back to the traditional curtain fall

Cheers !

Anyone know / heard why the riser seems to have been retired ?

warmachine731 · Post by **warmachine731** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 6:01 am

Who said KISS was dead and couldn't sell if their lives depended on it?

Oh by the way last nights show was 100% SOLD OUT

Kee · Post by **Kee** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 7:47 am

The worst I've EVER heard. So fucking painful. Those high-pitched screams... Man. HOW on earth can the band NOT think about these issues? Aren't they ashamed? No pride? Seriously, this is beyond ridiculous. I'm considering to not see them when/if they come to Sweden, just because of this.

The show was incredible!! The arena was 100% SOLD OUT. The atmosphere before the show was surreal, not seen since the Farewell Tour. The crowd was into the show from start to finish.

Buckcherry was great... the arena was well over 3/4 full to see their set... probably the fullest I've seen a venue for an opener since Alice Cooper opened for Heaven & Hell in '07. Lit Up, Rescue Me, Everything, Sorry & Crazy Bitch were highlights of their set... with Crazy Bitch getting the biggest response from the crowd.

KISS was AWESOME!! Aside from Paul's vocal issues* (evident during Hotter Than Hell) & his constant babbling between songs, the band was incredibly tight & sounded great. All the effects went off without a hitch, although Gene, Paul, & Tommy didn't take the stage via the riser, just used the curtain drop. Tons & tons of pyro & flames.... very cool!!

*I will say, just my personal opinion, but when you are at the concert & wrapped up in the whole spectacle of seeing KISS, you really don't focus on Paul's vocal shortcomings. It's easy to point them out when listening to the audio or watching the video footage after the fact, but honestly, when you are there in the moment, at least for me, his voice wasn't that big of a deal.

I am actually happy that they are getting away from the "Alive!" set list & are mixing it up a bit.

This was the 10th time I've seen KISS, and this was one of the best, if not the best shows I've seen in person. I left totally happy and satisfied with the performance that I just witnessed, as did the the rest of the crowd (from what I heard as we were leaving).

I can't wait to see them this coming Friday at Nassau Coliseum.

One side note, I thought they would promote Sonic Boom a little more than they did... I think they only mentioned it a couple times... kinda odd with it being released in a couple days.

Thanks warmachine731 for hooking this up with me, as usual, awesome job!!

Does anyone know if Paul might just actually be sick (cold,etc.)??
He sounds like he's congested,but like people have said live this doesn't come across that bad.

I'm surprised someone at a meet and greet hasn't asked Paul about his voice.

Not sure why you would think someone would pay $900+, just to tell Paul that he sounds like shit.

Your loss.

The sold out crowd (including me) loved it.

Paul sounded so much better last night than he did during the Rock The Nation tour.

I'll probably go, but my point is that Paul and his singing is an integral part of the show for me. And, when that isn't up to snuff, it's just sad. It weakens the show big time for me.
