Austin Texas was going to be last show but I couldn’t wait so Lafayette Louisiana in a few weeks will be #2 for EOTR. Can’t forecast 2021 today, But i want to be in NYC for the final show. If it is you’re last show let it be great :mrgreen:

My son and I are hitting this one up too, and likely our last KISS show as well!
This will be our third EOTR show and our fifth KISS show together. I believe this to be my 20th show.

Cheers to KISS one last time!

If anyone is interested I have an extra Groupon ticket
I’d let go of for $30. It’s a floor seat. Not a great one, but
less than Groupon face value. PM me if you’re interested.

Hi Parasite, I’m not gonna make it tonight..PM sent.

parasitestudios · Post by **parasitestudios** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 9:47 am

Thanks for letting me know. Still have it if anyone wants it.
Shoot me an offer.

parasitestudios · Post by **parasitestudios** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 12:13 pm

Anyone want to go for free? Hate to let it go to waste.
My only thing is you actually have to go and not try to sell
It. Someone did the same for me a few months ago and
I’d love to pass it on....

missingdiver · Post by **missingdiver** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 3:48 pm

Wow Parasite, i will call in sick to work i guess for a free ticket...pm me!

Yes I will! I live on a shoe string budget and with a hour and a half drive to st paul, and parking, i originally thought i better just go to work tonight...but for a generous free ticket I will throw caution to the wind:)

I haven’t heard from Parasite yet, so if someone else goes in my spot I hope they have a great time!

parasitestudios · Post by **parasitestudios** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 5:53 pm

I sort of know the guy who drew that. Here now.
No bad seats in this place. Stage looks tiny compared to
Chicago last year. I’m excited. Always giddy before a KISS
show.

Just popping in between sets. Dave was energetic and
a good time. But there’s definitely SOME lip syncing going
on. Missed his cue quite a few times.

parasitestudios · Post by **parasitestudios** » Mon Feb 24, 2020 11:30 pm

Just got home. A few thoughts.
1. Guys look like they are really having fun. Even
Eric seemed much more into it than he had at the last
few shows I’ve seen.
2. The crowd loved Heaven’s On Fire and hated 100,000
Years minus the drum solo.
3. It was full but not sold out. Lots of empty uppers.
But, it’s a Monday.
4. The stage looks scaled down but it does NOT take
away from anything. I didn’t miss the extra pods.
Man...do I have some mood swings at a KISS show.
Excited, the euphoric, then sometimes bored, then
sad at the end.

Both Star Tribune and Twin Cities publications say ~10,000.

Which if true I would consider a resounding success.

This leg of the tour is playing cleanup.

Boxscores will tell how well it’s succeeding.

Good to hear, I really didn't have much interest in going again, but once Dave was added, I'll probably be at the Milwaukee show.

That poster is incredible!

Many thanks to Parasitestudios for being so generous and getting me into the show!!

I had a long drive and got there about 10 minutes before Kiss started. Crowd seemed pretty energetic and it looked really full, although I couldn’t tell if the upper part of the arena was actually seats or just a decorative rim that goes around the top of the arena...I grew up going there when it was the old civic center, but I hadn’t been there since it became the excel and seats were added.

Paul’s voice seemed alot better and seemed to ne singing live for quite a few of the songs. His in between song banter he was actually yelling pretty good without his voice cracking which suprised me. When he flew out for I was made for loving you it was the most blatant lipped song....i mean the recorded vocal had a totality different sound lol....but his sound guy really did a amazing job punching in his live mic, so he could ad lib and I admit after awhile I didnt care that he was lip syncing.

I really enjoyed tears are falling with the asylum style artwork and the crowd really loved it, along with heavens on fire. Dr Love really went over great as well!

I was shocked how well Parasite went over..people were pumping there fists and singing along which really suprised me.

Gene’s bass solo was awesome and I noticed he added a sound fx like a godzilla/hydra scream which i hadn’t noticed before on any youtube videos..? It was chilling to hear in person...truly a demon moment.

100,000 years was the least accepted song...its one of my favs but people just don’t seem to like it. Eric’s solo was awesome.

Overall the band seemed to be having a great time and the crowd really seemed to love it, and that’s what matters for sure.

When I was turning to leave my seat after the lights came on, a guy that was sitting next to me said “well, i’ll see in 2 years on the next farewell tour..” lol

I do have a couple pics i took before the show started of the stage arena, but i keep getting a “http error” when I try to attach them..?

If it was the first KISS show in the Twin Cities on EOTR they would have praised it. But since they were recently just a few miles away the negativity arises. Most reviews are positive...

Brah...if you’re a fan of Dave you shoulda went for him alone.

Dave is absolutely KILLING IT!!!

What you really should be doing is get off your ass and support Thal when he come to town fronting Asia.

So much better than Payne ever was.

Ron’s a local guy my age that loves KISS. How could I not root for him?

Always appreciated his run with Guns and seen that version many times.

tazchris · Post by **tazchris** » Tue Feb 25, 2020 12:38 pm

Funny how no one digs 100,000 yrs, yet Paul is convinced it is "The Classics Of Classics," He did actually refer to it back in 2009 at the show I attended as "The Classic Of Classics." I have to admit it does help DYLM sound really good, so it does serve a purpose in the current set. However, couldn't they just switch Eric's blazing drum solo back to GOT, and finally get rid of it once, and for all. I am sure if they played ISYL, Strutter, or C'mon & Love Me most casuals would say "That was the best fuckin' song of the night."

KLP68 · Post by **KLP68** » Tue Feb 25, 2020 1:46 pm

I take a few of those CASUALS to a KISS concert. Please don’t let anyone know that some of my friends are CASUALS! Stay away from those CASUALS

Totally agree. There are 2-3 songs that are in that boat...

I live in between Milwaukee and Chicago so I will hit one of those 2 shows, probably Milwaukee because the Tinley Park venue is awful. Thal is an incredible guitar player. I also saw him many times with Axl. I've heard he's singing very well with Asia. I was shocked to hear that he's lead vocalist with them.
