4 super KISS fans; 3 generations strong (two grand-teens, my eldest daughter and I); 2 months to work together to craft and prep our homage costumes; 1 BAND, 1 FAMILY, 1 Road trip from Atlanta to Charlotte to see the EOTR tour 1 more time (we were at the Atlanta concert back in April as well). Once, was not enough!
Since my 1st KISS concert, every next concert has continued to be bigger, better, and larger than life than the one before it. Charlotte was no exception - thanks to my son, we sat in the 7th row...from there, it was more obvious than ever that this band, these guys, rank as the most engaging, fun-loving and talented group in the world: LITERALLY. Aside from the obvious talent and show itself, the eye contact, the smiles, the determination on pleasing a HUGE audience, constantly and consistently thru the entire show. Such absolute enthusiasm and love for what they do and how they do it. While I realize it is just about impossible for us to do a three-peat" without a substantial lottery win, I encourage any KISS fan to see this show - if at all possible. It is not just another KISS concert, and KISS is not just another band. The tour may end, the members may retire, but in our family, KISS will be a lasting legacy and will never fade away.
There is no easy way to say thank-you and good-bye. But, to Paul, Gene, Tommy, Eric and all the KISS Army folks....you ROCK! -
