I must jump to the end of the show. A couple of quick items first. Many clips of the 3-D video are repeated. No big deal. Ace walked near Paul after one of the first few songs and lightly punched his arm. Paul joked back..."Ya see...that's proof...Ace just hit me...that's proof that we're not getting along!!!" Ace and Paul just laughed. A true KISS fan got that joke. Later, Paul screwed up one line in "I WAS MADE FOR LOVING YOU" Gene kept playing to Peter almost looking like he was tring to make him laugh - which he did! He now seems to spit blood down into the crowd from on top of his "GOD OF THUNDER" sky stage. I heard some guy call them "Blood Seats" makes sense.

Note to ace - when Paul says..."And what's the name of the new songs your gonna sing now?" you say "Into the Vault" right away...don't wait for another que. I thought there was too much dead air (if I had to be a bit picky) 3-D stuff - cool but not great but this is a band on another level. What's just O.K. at a KISS show is the show stopper at anothers band show. But you know that - a different measuring stick.

The mood changed when Peter grabbed the mic and shouted "I'll shove that lazer light up your ass!!!" Paul quickly walked up to a mic...I thought to do a little damage control on the threat ...but instead went into a great monologe and "out threatened" Peter by saying "What Peter means is there are so many great fans here tonight like that girl over there...shine a light on that girl ( pretty girl on guys shoulders now up on the big screen cheering)...but there are two or three of you who don't belong here. Now...I want to say that there are a few of you here tonight who have those little red lazer pens (holding his thumb and finger apart to show how big they are) you know who you are...well I want to invite you to come up on stage so I can shove it so far up your ass that it'll shine out of your mouth!!!" The crowd went nuts. I really didn't notice any red light on Peters' face during the show or the bow but they must have been having a problem with them all night. Those people should be thrown out of the show the second they're found out. I'd be pissed too!!! Those dam things hurt!!!

A few times the band asked the crowd why they were so tired. I thought that the crowd was kinda calm but nobody sat down once! Get ready to spend $35 on a black one sided T-shirt and the usual $20 on a program. Great band shot with Peter laughing inside. Yes the 3-D glasses are free...what happend Gene...missed that one huh!
