As we found our seats we were amazed at how close we really were (as seen in the pictures). Then we hit all the concesion stands for all that concert memorabilia. Econoline Crush was on stage, They were really cool, the singer at one point even put on an Amerks jersey (our hockey team). Then the search lights were storming through the arena and it was time "Alright Rochester . . . . You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best, The Hottest Band In The World . . . . KISS!"
"Psycho Circus" had begun. I could'nt believe how larger than life they look when your so close to them. As the show went on it only got better. The 3-D was in your face and kicked mad ass. You could feel the heat from the fountains of fire. Peter Criss' drum solo in mid air over the crowd. Paul Stanley flying to the middle of the arena for "Love Gun". The set ended with a confetti storm, we all got some. The encores would soon be over and we were stunned. The house lights came on in a foggy warzone, we rummeged through the floor and flipped over chairs and we were on our way.
We went to a hotel the band was rumored to stay at to try and find them . . . . no luck, Damn! A funny thing happened the next day. My brother found one of Paul Stanley's picks on the floor at a Mcdonalds, and brought it home for me, it is the exact same one they use, which you can't get in stores (white, sparkles) I matched it up to the program pictures and it was indeed it. Everyone had a great time and stayed on thier feet all night. It was my Girlfriends 1st concert and what a way to begin with KISS! I couldn't wait to see them again.
