Well,Kiss did it again! This farewell tour stageshow is increadable. This was the 13th time i have seen the original lineup, and the second show this week,having just seen them tuesday night in Moline Ill. This concert was supossed to have been on the 17th, but the bands plane was grounded in Chicago do to a hail storm there,so it was postponed to the next night. Me and my best friend drove from Moline to Minneapolis,and we beat the band there! The show was worth the wait! Before the concert they announced that this show was the fastest sellout in the target center history. 20,000 tickets sold in ten minutes! The show was about a carbon copy of two nites before,except i think that Paul strutted and jumped around more. The set list was the same as already mentioned,it would have been nice to hear a few more different gems like "Christeen 16","Mr. Speed",and "All American man". I was also dissapointed they dropped "New York groove" and "King of the nighttime world" from the set. But the show was awesome!!! there are more special effects and fireworks than on both the reunion tour and psycho circus combined! Ace,my idol, was dead on with his solos,and he moved around the stage alot more than the past tours.Gene was Gene,the everpresent demon,looking menacing as ever,and Peter,although he doesnt hit the drums as hard any more(because of his right hand),was ontime with all the songs,and his singing on "Beth" was alot better than the past two tours. The ending of "Black diamond was fanominal,with the catbanner on Peter's rising drum kit bellowing out smoke,and fireworks shooting around it,and the end of"rock and roll all nite was a very befiting ending for a farewell as you will ever see at a rock concert!!! long live the gods of thunder!!!!
