The whole experience was great. I have seen KISS once before tonight, but this is the first time I had seen them in full make-up. The band looked and sounded great. I was in amazement when the curtain dropped and unleashed the spectacular stage set up. From the first song to the last, KISS gave a great performance. It was nice to hear Paul Stanley thanking the fans throughout the night that it was because of us the fans that made KISS what they are today. Although the songs sounded great, I kept on looking at Peter Criss through the gigantic screen and though he was smiling and looking like he was faving fun, his drumming looked suspect. I mean he was going through the motions, but it seemed to me like he was barely touching the drums. Could their have been a second drummer beneath the stage doing Peter's parts while Peter has mimicking like he was actually playing? Those who go to the farewell shows, check this out and think about it.

Skid Row opened the show, but without Sebastian Bach, they sounded much like a band covering the Skids material. The new singer tried his best to sound like Bach with "Youth Gone Wild" and "18 and Life" but it just wasn't the same. Although he did do a good job with his lead vocal work in his rendition of "I Remember You."

Ted Nugent, the original "Motor City Madman" did a good job. He could have canned his own political views to himself, and kept with the music, but that's Ted. He remains an incredible guitarist as he showed that tonight.
