Got my Kiss tickets

Philadelphia Section 113 row 2 (aisle) - Around where center ice would be.

Washington, DC Section 1 Floor row K (also aisle) - Stage left on Gene's side

Avoided paying for the fanclub pre-sale and all that. Just got the password for the free pre-sale and got good/great seats.

I know you'll enjoy the shows Ed....have fun.
Think they will be doing anything off Sonic Boom or just stickin with Alive?
Australia were the only ones to get Shandi?.....horse heaps I say!

If I had to guess, they will play 2 off Sonic Boom. Alive will probably not be completely played despite what they say. On the European tour they started out playing all of Alive, but eventually a couple songs were dropped from it. Most of it will be played though, then throw in Detroit Rock City, I Was Made For Loving You and Shout it out Loud most likely.

My bet is that the Cobo Hall shows will get the complete version of Alive! though.

You are right, a friend that works for the promoter said Kiss will be playing all of Alive! plus more. Should be a great night especially being back at Cobo. I remember being in Tier C watching them during Alive!.

Any memorabilia to share with us from way back then Manarocks?

LOL LOL I have not a thing from those years. LOL LOL I remember buying a concert shirt, it might be still at my parents house. LOL I still remember Kiss's 1st show in Detroit at the old Michigan Palace in 1972 or 1973.

Wow I bet them coming back to town for Alive 35 really takes you back.
Thanks for telling us about some of it Senor.

I remember getting a K-Tel record ("Mind Bender") that had Rock and Roll All Nite on it. Eventually forced my parents to a K-Mart to get a real Kiss record. I had my choice of "The Originals", which was a repackage of the 1st 3 studio albums or Kiss Alive!

Of course being a little kid I went for Alive! but The Originals now is the more valuable choice. As a collector I did pick up a copy of it later on.

So show us some of your KISS collection Ed, any vintage concert shirts?....please/thank you.

Moon, I don't have any of the old toys or anything like that. Most of my collection would consist of bootleg audio and video recordings. I do have a few vintage magazines, a picture with Ace and myself, the Kisstory book and some other stuff.

I'd be happy to share a vintage bootleg on audio if anyone is interested.

I would be interested in that Ed so long as my pc has the space for it.
May we see the pic with you and Mr Frehley?

I don't look too different after all those years. Just a few beers wiser.

My brother and I were assigned to work the door for my friend's store and keep the line moving, do security and that kind of shit. Once the signing was over, we got to hang out with Ace for an hour or so privately, before he had to leave for soundcheck.

Ever so you to say so Ed... you are right though.
I think that's my second favorite pic of you, the one with you and your Daughter with the belts be the best.

Just some youthful enthusiasm and a grin with a shorter haircut. I could pull that off now if need be.
