Many kiss fan's want to see Kiss perform at Madison square garden or detroit, for me it's ALWAYS been to see kiss in Vegas. Kiss did not let any of us down. Seeing Kiss at another venue and state and seeing the reactions of other kiss fans gave me another perspective of how universal the kiss fans are.

KISS SHOW: I loved it. all the guys seem to have lots of energy, Gene and Ace worked the entire stage well. Paul's voice was impressive, his vocal range was very good. Peter did well on Black Diamond, however Peter messed up beth!!! He sang the words in the 3rd verse in the second verse!but he caught his mistake within seconds.I would have rather heard HLW myself.

Ace did well too, Paul said something like Ace is going to do a song for you tonight {im parphrasing }And ace turned to look at paul like he was in shock that Paul was going to let him sing, cute comedy relief.

Ace's solo was good typical stuff, and 2000 man was good. he did not do void. Ace was having fun near the end of the show and did a little bunny hop in his moon boots {maybe three jumps}

Gene was CLASSIC Gene, every close up on the screen I could see that gene was really into his role.Hip's thrusting,tongue wagging,face snarling,fist pumping,boot stomping,classic Gene $immons. {better than the PC tour i thought} When he stood atop the crowd on his 'perch' he rocked side to side stomping his Boots and soon the fans joined in, it was fun. Gene had fun.

The song selection? i thought Ace and peter did well on HOF,Lick it up, ans i love it loud. The stage show? not as big and Over the top as 96-97 tour,but i thought better than The PC show.

TID BITS: before the show the local announcer or M C said that Kiss "might be back in vegas soon for another show" and before cold gin Paul said dont drink and drive we want to see ya again when we come back. Could this be the last kiss show?? who knows. but get ready for another show in vegas, and stay at the mandalay if kiss plays there again, very convenient.

MISCELLANEOUS: the Mandalaybay had some cool posters of kiss in the hotel,outside the building, and the Marquee Video screen out side the hotel ran a Kiss Promo for the show every 4 1/2 minutes. One sign{poster} outside the arena had to be 30 feet tall and 15 feet wide. The kiss Tour book was a Bit spendy $30.00, the book has all the shows kiss has done since the 70's up to the Alaska show Jan 3 2000, my book had no tour listings for the farewell tour?not sure if there was different program jsut for this tour. i did not see one.

UNPRECEDENTED: I MADE MANY attempts and calls to get a poster before & after the show, after talking with 5 people my efforts failed, i was told by two different people that the "request for the kiss posters,kiss tickets, has been UNPRECEDENTED" i could get three tenors poster...but not kiss.

EXTRA: I heard people who had never been to kiss before talking about the show the next day..all positvie. see your favorite band soon, soak up every song, have fun, enjoy it,......the end is near.`IT WAS KISS ! IT WAS VEGAS! IT WAS GREAT!
