Even tohught this should be in the Personal forum, I will reply enthusiastically. On Oct. 19, I saw Kiss in Pensacola Florida. Must say, simply greatest show I have ever been to or will probably ever attend. I gained much respect for Thayer (even though the only possible fill-in for Ace is Bruce Kulick), and Paul Stanley was constantly raping his FlyingV! They only played 17 instead of the usual 20 songs, but it was okay becayuse Paul's voice was shot and they played Shock Me which until that night, was RARELY played. I filmed mopst of it on my camera cuz I was in row 8 and actually got some REALLY good footage. Afterwards we were able to get an f-ing CD of the show! Simply amazing!. I will never forget that show. If you have the chance, even if youre not a member of the KISS Army, go see them! You will die and almost go to heaven
