KISS Honda Fest Concert From: KISSAsylum.com The rumors were true, I could not beleive it - KISS played the Honda's employee appreciation event last night in Columbus. As a life long KISS fan, I felt very lucky to have been able to go when a friend of a friend said he had the special wrist bands needed to go to the private event. These wrist bands were only given out to Columbus area Honda workers. I could not believe this as I had not even heard about this until Friday night. Sure enough - KISS took the stage at 9:00 using a slightly scaled down version of the Farewell Tour stage. There was only one KISS logo with the 2 giant KISS Army banners hanging behind the stage. The band did not descend from the top of the stage truss but instead were center stage when the giant KISS banned dropped at the opening of Detroit Rock City. Gene, Paul, Tommy and ERIC! I really thought this was a rumor since Eric was touring with Alice Cooper who had a show scheduled in New Mexico. The 2nd song was Deuce and from there it becomes a blur of sing alongs and air guitar. Some nice surprises were Got To Choose, Christine Sixteen & God Gave Rock N Roll To You. The show was a little scaled down with no solos or firebreathing and bloodspitting from Gene. It was an hour and a half of pure energy. There was still plenty of flames and pyro though. They closed with Rock N Roll All Night and tons of confetti. It is still incredible that this was a free event with general admission seating. I would guess there was 9-10,000 in attendance. I could not believe this happened. As I talked to some of the other fans waiting to get in, one of the Honda employees said this was the 3rd year the company held this event. The first year had Def Leppard and last year was Bon Jovi. Hats off to Honda for showing what just may be the best show of employee appreciation. A FREE KISS CONCERT!!!
