I'm staying at the HRH for the two weeks that I'm there. I'm also attending one M&G on 11/7. I will do my best to pass on reports and pics along the way.

Incidentally, for those who are arriving on 11/5 or earlier, you will get to see KISS fly into the HRH via helicopter at 6:30pm tomorrow (main valet area) according the email update that was sent out yesterday.

I'll be at this and the show on the 8th.

Little disappointed in set list. Was hoping for the Oath added at least. Maybe they'll add it for one of these shows.

And maybe Plaster Caster as well.

BlackDiamond67 · Post by **BlackDiamond67** » Thu Nov 06, 2014 6:50 pm

I made it. The store that's pretty much exclusively KISS is awesome. Lots of great framed photographs and backlit boxes with vintage shots. This is the most impressive piece though (collage of tiny photographs):

I was walking around the hotel this evening and saw this guy looking for some threads (that would be Gene):

You should have said "howdy" and "you look so much more attractive in person".

When I spoke with Doc the other night, he did act as though Plaster Caster would be back in the set but didn't give me a direct answer. Now The Oath on the other hand? Well he just told me that I should've gone on the Kruise

So I'm not expecting that one.

The store is really cool! This nice mural goes for a whopping $10,000!

By the way, if anybody's looking to go tonight.. I have a few spare General Admission tickets. They'll be below face value and I'm bringing them with me so just PM me if you're interested. I'll be checking back here frequently.

Same with tomorrow nights show as well.

Have fun tonight people, and if you have a chance update us with any set list/show notes!

The M&G acoustic set was a lot of fun:

- Got to Choose
- Plaster Caster
- Hard Luck Woman
- Love Her All I Can
- Domino
- Beth

You'll notice Chris Jericho in the background behind Gene

Hope there's more footage of the way they've adapted Paul's flying rig.

Cool new opening with Gene and Tommy coming down from the middle of the arena and Paul is already onstage.
I like it...

Is Gene still wearing that button-up denim Kiss shirt from the Farewell tour?!? I swear I've seen him in that thing a million times. Maybe he has boxes of them leftover. I bought one from Michael Brandvold back when he was hawking leftover stuff for Kissonline.com at the Kiss Expos back in the early 2000's.

Why? he doesn't need new threads…he is wearing the same 'KISS Farewell 1973-2000' denim shirt he's been wearing for 15 years

I'm all for changes to the show, but this is a bit strange if you ask me. I think if members of the band were to ever 'float' out to the middle of the venue, Paul and Tommy should do it during Lick It Up. If they had room, it'd be cool to see Eric get a solo and have his kit float out to the middle of the venue.

Awesome show. Same setlist as Wednesday but the band was on fire!!

After the show while walking out to the parking lot to get a quick phone charge, Tommy walks through the door towards his room in a robe and out of makeup. Said "Hey Tommy, happy birthday!" He said thanks and while trying to attain a picture, security stopped me dead in my tracks. So I proceed towards the door again to head to my car and now here comes Eric in robe but still has his makeup on. Just a quick "Hey Eric!" And he said "Hey man".

It's been a great trip for me so far. Met Doc on Wednesday just for being in the right spot. And a quick run-in with Tommy and Eric about 20 minutes ago was a sure pleasant surprise.

I've got a couple killer videos and took 440+ pictures tonight. One of these days I'll be able to upload them. I just want to say that Creatures is so powerful live! I'm so glad that I can finally experience one of my favorite KISS songs the way most of you saw it in the '80's and during the Revenge tour. I know this is probably a stretch but I felt like I was living the 1983 Rio di Jianero show for 4 minutes. Certainly one of my finest concert moments as a KISS fan. 7th row really does wonders to the imagination.

The updated intro is really cool. They even rearranged it from even just two nights ago but it totally works and feels fresh!!

Show #19 is in the books. #20 tomorrow and then back to NY on Tuesday.
