First off, I must say that alot was riding on this show for me personally. I had previously attended the State College, PA show and leaving there a little dissappointed (not really due to the band - see my review), left several questions buzzing in my brain. Has interest in KISS faded? Does'nt anybody care anymore? Is this the bands' last horah? If I was to find any answers to these questions I would find them at this hometown (almost) show.
After impatiently waiting a couple weeks and then traveling six hours in search of my answers, I finally got what I wanted: The most incredible show I have ever seen!!! This was my 14th KISS show over the years and by far the best!! The band was fatastic. Sounded tighter than ever. The set list was identical (sans 'Makin' Love' and 'I Was Made For Loving You'). The technical glitches were gone and YES, the KISS ARMY was there in full force. So in answering my questions: NO, interest in KISS has not faded; YES, the fans do care; and I hope that this line up will continue to do us dedicated fans proud for many years to come. Thank you KISS, thank you Long Island, and thank you to all the fans who proved to me (in a BIG way) that I'm not part of a dying breed! See ya!
