WHAT A FUCKING SHOW !!! For the people that have sent in reviews, and downgraded the show and group, i have to say that you do not know anything 'bout a "ROCK N ROLL PARTY!!! ........The day started off with me entering a contest,pre-show party, that the radio station 102.5 threw. I entered the " WHO HAS THE LONGEST TONGUE CONTEST ", and won. The prize was a DETROIT ROCK CITY shirt. After my fiance' and i got our faces painted, we entered the arena for the biggest concert of our lives, THE FAREWELL TOUR. Skid row hit the stage about 7, and played 7 songs. The new frontman for "THE SKIDS" isn't that bad, but i must add that he's no SEBASTIAN BACH ! I ended up getting the setlist after their set ended. Next came the " MOTER CITY MADMAN ", and NUGENT rocked the arena ! People have been bitchin' about NUGENT'S " point of views ", but i must say that he speaks the truth! And with NUGENT shooting the " flaming bow ", at the end of GREAT WHITE BUFFALO , just added to the pre-show crowd warm-up for " THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD "..........KISS !!!

I was sitting in the 5th row for the show! KISS hit the stage and magnified their presense with TAMPA ! As the band played DETROIT ROCK CITY, PETER'S drum riser was tilted in an angle to the right. He was pretty pissed off! After the crew fixed the problem, his drum tech came out and re-attached the loose cimbals. Another problem occured right before GENE was to fly. A cable came loose to his harness, and had to be re-attached. Other than that, it was a problem free night for KISS! A highlight of the night came during the beginning of BLACK DIAMOND. Paul played a few verses of I STILL LOVE YOU. This had to be the best concert of all time! Don't bitch about the ticket prices, because you will definately get your money's worth! One short note though : I was told that the guy playing lead guitar wasn't ACE ! To me, it sounded like ACE, but the guy was very thin! I met someone who went to the fort myer's and orlando show, and they said it wasn't him! An article in the ORLANDO SENTINEL and LAKELAND LEDGER said that he was couriously thin. If anyone of you were suspisios, then post your comments at KISSASYLUM.......other than that, I'M OUTTA HERE !!!!!!!
