KISS in Pensacola
« on: October 20, 2009, 01:55:02 AM »
Concert tonight in Pensacola was everything you expect from KISS.  It was loud. It was fun. The cast of characters coming through the doors was pretty amazing. Saw the gamut.  Saw old ladies. Black folks painted up. Asian folks painted up.  Grandmas with their grandaughters. Dads with their kids. Dirty whores of all shapes and sizes.

I do love a concert whore and there were plenty of those sprinkled throughout.  

Of all the people in the world who could possibly have been parked by me, I drew Roger Schultz.  He brought his wife and his kid. Roger was the only guy in the place I saw with a plastic KISS mask.  Everybody else was either painted or not.  His presence drew a crowd of drunk Alabama fans between Buckcherry and KISS who "wannadid shake YORE hand, fer alla ya DID for ALABUMMAH, GAWDAMMIT!" After which there were obligatory questions about Saban, Mark Ingram's Heisman and the inevitable national championship.  Roger thinks Bama will play Boise State, BTW.  After about seven Yuenglings and during the drum solo, I decided to tell Roger his radio show sucked.  Roger was wearing earplugs.  I can understand your kid wearing them, but you're not really rocking out with big green earplugs sticking out of your ears.  So I'm yelling "You SUCK on the radio" and he's pointing at his ears and grinning.  phuk it.  Not worth the trouble.

Say what you want about KISS, but I hope I am in as good a shape as Paul when I'm 60.  phuk, I hope I'm in that kind of shape when I'm 45.  

I've been to a ton of KISS shows. The pattern never really varies much.  What you get is what you get.  To consider that they're doing at 60 what they were doing at 25 -- and doing it just about as well -- is pretty amazing.

Love the old stuff.  Wish they would pull a little more from the middle of the catalog. Would like to hear I Was Made live again, it thumps.  Or Creatures. Or Heaven's On Fire.  Or Tears are Fallin'.   Or even Domino.  They still hit all the major points.  

For a 60 year old guy, Paul's voice was relatively strong. Sort of amazing when you think about it.  He's done this stuff plus his solo (not good) albums plus playing Phantom of the Opera for a year or so.  And he can still hit most of the notes.  Some of the high stuff escaped him, but poop.  He's 60.

If you've seen KISS before you'll get exactly what you expect from start to finish.  Blood spitting, fire breathing, flying through the air, fireworks popping, flames shooting, confetti raining and all the stuff that goes with it.  It's definitely entertaining.

If you've never seen the band before, as the guy in front of me who brought his twelve year old son hadn't, you'll stand there when it's over and go "My god, that was awesome..."

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Played 17 songs. 

Deuce
Strutter
Let Me Go, Rock and Roll
Hotter than Hell
Shock Me
Modern Day Delilah
Calling Dr. Love
She
Parasite
100,000 Years
I Love It Loud
Black Diamond
RnR All Night

Encore:
Shout It Out Loud
Lick It Up
Love Gun
Detroit Rock City

Played for a little over two hours.   Really wish they'd added a couple more songs from the new CD.  Would have loved to hear Never Enough or All For One live. 

Eight of the 17 were off their first two albums (KISS and Hotter than Hell). Two were off their third (Dressed to Kill).  Two were off their fourth (Destroyer). One was off Rock and Roll Over the fifth album.  Two were from Love Gun the sixth album. So 15 of 17 songs were from '77 or before. 

Lick It Up and Delilah were the only things they played post '77.  Lick It Up is from 83. 

I think they change it up a little from week to week, but that's about what you'll get. 

Black Diamond is my favorite.

I like concert whores.  These were in the first row.  Started just to my right and migrated to the left -- where the stage camera pointed a lot. The girl in the long jacket was practically naked from the neck to the waist by concert's end.

They were okay.  Not as cool as when Skid Row and Nugent opened, but they've got a couple of decent songs and worked hard.

They are better than the cock munches that are opening for AC/DC.

The best way I heard it put was "AC/DC found a way to sell more merchandise.  Get a shitty opening act".

i've been following the setlist from the various cities.  you're right they're changing it up; furthermore, they are decreasing the number of songs played.  they started with 19...now to 17.

They're 95 years old.  The grind of the tour is wearing on them.  At the final show, they will play one chord...and then hobble offstage to a crush of Betty White-looking groupies...and Kaos.

I rock and rolled until 11 something. Have carried the party to the office.

If it's too loud I'm too old.
I got up and got my grandma outta here
I'll feel uptight on Saturday night.
I'm treating myself like number one
Youre not the only one I've ever had
I don't want to wait until you know me better
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself
Got you under my thumb

Those front row girls got somebody's corporate tickets.  They weren't chasing the sweaty seniors in sagging leather after the show.
