[Admin]

This show was postponed until March 6 on 9/5...

[richardsimmons]

Trying to find a bud to go. Will be purchasing tickets this month.

Canada + whatever C/D Markets they can still exploit + other venues in giant markets that'll still go to another show in 2021.

[tazchris]

Hopefully all of that plus another Vegas residency, and a trip to Australia leading up to July 17 in New York.

I do believe Doc said they’re gonna hit major markets again as a lead up to the final date July 2021.

[tazchris]

I know many are hung up on the original notion that once they play your city that's it, and that may have originally been the intention. However, if it is possible to keep playing more shows why would anyone really want that. I hope they keep it going as long as they can. Does it really have to end July 17, 2021?

[Admin]

Not many "dots" left for tonight...

I believe more than you think. I certainly wasn’t one of them.

Some still believe they’re not gonna tour after July ‘21.

They might want to Lower their prices if they are still going to tour
I know people that checked out after 2000
Now after this ? If they still tour ?
Just call me The Lone Ranger because I’ll be flying Solo for sure

Yeah brah...the law of diminishing returns is very real. However...

I’m sure the law of “it’s still plenty of money anyway” is in full effect.

Another packed house. Nice job KISS Army Oakland!

[KLP68]

Yup, some buzz killers were convinced Oakland was going to sell poorly.

[Admin]

Review: Fucking awesome (again).

[Dr Like]

I saw Julian on the screen during Heaven's on Fire!

[dynastybjr]

Review: Fucking awesome (again).

This. Best review of the whole tour.

Review: Fucking awesome (again).

I'm glad you had a great show!

Did you enjoy DLR's set? I thought he and his band were pretty awesome in LA.

[Crown Royal]

Yup, some buzz killers were convinced Oakland was going to sell poorly.

Not at all. When you slash prices people will show up.

I didn’t see any prices being slashed for this show, did you?

[richardsimmons]

I was in the nosebleeds & had fun for both DLR & Kiss.

My Favorite songs of the night were Dr. Love & Black Diamond.

[Doose]

Another disaster in Oakland!

[tazchris]

Wasn't Oakland supposed to be one of the shows with "soft" sales?

[misterhand80]

Appears KISS is cancelling their photo op MnG packages and limiting it only to instruments.

[OrigialEraFan]

The tickets for this show were greatly slashed months ago. The upper deck was nearly $200 to start with, then by Christmas they were $74.99, then $49.99.

Hey Fellow Kiss Fans...I was at the show last night in Oakland. Second section from stage left, Row 1.
I have seen Kiss about 15 times, dating back to the Dynasty tour when I was 16 ( a night that pretty much changed me forever)

Honestly, the last thing I expected was that the boys could still blow me away. How wrong I was.

After waiting an extra 7 months to see the show after the cancellation in Sept, the night finally came.
I worked extra hard NOT to look at any photos, videos, set lists, etc leading up to this show.
I wanted the surprised as we had it before the internet.
Freaking well-worth the effort.

Kudos to the Oakland crowd for being much more rowdy than I've ever seen a bay area crowd for kiss. It seemed people on the floor were standing the whole time. Everyone was yelling the whole concert- dare I say, just like the 70s
The stage was the biggest spectacle ever. The pods overhead constantly re-configuring from the ceiling, the lights on scissor extenders moving downward and up. The crazy giant rotating trusses that swung Gene and Tommy Thayer in about a 50 foot circle over the crowd. The bombs seemed to be twice as loud as ever before. The Pyro was better than ever. It seemed to be at least double from the past shows I've seen

Ballsiest moment- Eric Singer coming up from a giant elevator from below front-center stage with a giant grand piano and singing Beth. Being an old-time fan, I was like you have got to be f-ing kidding me!! this is crossing the freaking line. Not only did Eric actually play the piano, he did Beth (sadly) more justice than Peter Criss ever did when he was forgetting the lyrics because he was all f-ed up on stage. All I could think was Peter, Eric unfortunately, just ate your freaking lunch. After thinking about it, it was great they decided to include that as a huge part of their history. I'm sure Peter is pissed.

Down-ish moments: Seeing that Paul Stanley was actually lip-syncing many parts of some songs with a backing track. I love Paul Stanley, and if this is the only way we can see this amazing show one last time, so be it. The Dude has taken a lot of heat for his voice being shot.

Overall, an amazing time for this 57 yr old Kiss Fan. I'd say this concert felt like any other Kiss concert- if you're there and not having an absolute fantastic time, you're dead. I can't speak for the whole crowd, but everyone seemed to be having the time of their lives.
Thanks Paul, Gene, Eric, Tommy.

I'll try to post a bunch of pics and even videos if the site allows me to

This little guy stole the show for a while
