I am so happy I went to see this show! These guys were the last band to check off on my list of must see bands before I die and they didn't disappoint! They can still bring it and they are still putting on a great show and making great music night after night!

any other freehuddlers in attendance?

Not sure if you are into it but you can get a ton of bootleg kiss music on the net.

...My brother-in-law had back stage passes last night. I haven't talked with him yet, but I'm sure it was a great show.

Apparently they are still in Pittsburgh. I think I'll have an opportunity to meet them this afternoon...or atleast Gene.

Could have seen them in Windsor a month or two ago and wish I would have. My uncle saw them about 10 years ago at Tiger Stadium in Detroit and said it was one of the best shows he has ever seen.

I saw them in 2003 but am sad to say I don't remember a whole lot of their show. Aerosmith was after so we spent the first part of the concert charming dudes into buying us drinks.

i was at that kiss/aerosmith show at polaris amp. over half of the crowd left when kiss was done. aerosmith was terrible. kiss may not be the best singers/musicians out there but they put on the best rock show period.

Hmm...I disagree but what do I know. I loved the whole concert.

Backstage passes 4cards? i'm a bit jealous.

Just claimed my 2nd disc of the concert, which has the last 3 songs of the set plus the encore, can't wait to get it and listen to it, first part sounds absolutely great so far, its classic Vintage Kiss and it sounded amazing last night!

I saw KISS live in 1978 and they were incredible. Glad you enjoyed the show, Darby!

It was a sad night, a lof of people were upset that its the last time KISS will ever play Mellon Arena.... personally I think the building is a dump and moving to a bigger place will bring out more people but at least they closed it out in style
