Had a blast... thanks to my old high school buddy Tim for the tickets and these awesome pictures! There's over a hundred more if anyone wants to see them.

So - everybody gushes over friggin' Michael Buble, but ignores one of the most influential rock bands of all time? Hmph!

It's okay - I still like you guys.

Awesome - while not really on my list of favorites - they certainly put on an amazing show.

Glad you had a great time.

(I'm not a big Michael Buble fan either)

Great pics!
I've seen KISS a couple of times - once fairly recently and those old farts still know how to rock the house, huh?

I have a few old albums of theirs that still have memorabelia order forms, and fan club membership forms to join the "KISS Army"

Evey time I go through my record collection, I half seriously wonder what would happen if I tried to order something from them.

Oh sure, now your just braggin'!

I seen KISS in I guess it was 1976, when a friend (who was an absolute KISS fanatic) caught mono and couldn't go (and only because he was practically on his death bed).
It was going to be he & a couple of other friends who were huge fans (I wasn't), but since it was mono boy that had a car and a license, the rest of 'em were screwed.
So they pooled their dough, and bought our sick bud's ticket (he was sick, not stupid), and offered it to me free for a ride since I was the only other one of our gang of pals who had a license...and much more importantly, a car..that actually ran even...thus the free ticket...I ain't stupid either

!

What a freakin' great show it was!!!
I was totally sold by the time they did "Beth" (yeah yeah, I understand it's the loser among some "true" fans in the KISS Army, but the crowd in Cincinnati went nuts), with the piano raising above the stage on a small section of hydraulic stage...it was pretty grand.

The pyrotechnics & lighting they used back then, I think would still be just as impressive today...every bit as great a stage show as Alice Cooper's, Welcome To My Nightmare tour (which was phenomenal by the way...oh yeah babe uh huh, now I'm braggin').

Been a fan for over thirty years now, all thanks to "The Mono"...he should have called Doctor Love

Yes, they did in fact.

However, both The Who and The Stones had more than one farewell tour.

One of my older brothers was a huge KISS fan back in the day, when I was just a wee thing, so I can sing (except for the being-on-key part) more of their songs than most people I know. I will always have a soft spot for them.

I think the top spot for power ballad should go to "Hard Luck Woman," though, not "Beth." But then I kind of liked Gene's version of "When You Wish Upon a Star," so what do I know?

FYI: I was a little afraid to click on this thread because of the subject line and the fact that I knew it contained pictures.
