Well, I was one of the guys who was sh*tting on KISS back in February in this thread. This past Wednesday was the MSG show. I gotta say, it was pretty great. My daughter absolutely loved it which totally made the night. But, the show itself was really good, way better than I expected. They sounded good. Maybe Paul is still lip syncing, maybe he isn't. I couldn't tell. And, there were enough ad libs in to prove that it's at least partially live. He definitely sounds better than I've heard in recordings from previous tours. And, the stage is amazing. It's gotta be at least part of the reason why there is no opening band. I wouldn't want an opening band running around on that stage if it were mine either. I'm not gonna kid myself and deny that a painter is way cheaper than an opening band. But, it was mildly entertaining. Talented guy.
For anyone on the fence about going, I'd definitely recommend it. As far as rock shows go, there isn't a better production out there today. And, it's just a lot of fun. I got to see them at MSG in '85, '96 and now 2019. Nostalgia aside, this was definitely the best overall show of the three.
