KISS at Caesar's Windsor 2011

So once again, here I am tuckered out and raw-throated from seeing KISS last night. It was the second time they've come to Windsor. The last time was in 2009 during the ALIVE 35 tour.
The show was great as usual and the boys were in fine form. They played all the favourites including their staples of Detroit Rock City, Shout It Out Loud, Beth, Deuce, Calling Dr. Love, Firehouse and of course Rock and Roll All Nite among other timeless classics. The only tunes that I noticed that they didn't play that they have been lately and historically were Strutter, 100,000 Years and I Was Made For Lovin' You.

And once again the Coliseum at Caesar's just doesn't want me to have any pics from that particular venue, as I forgot my camera (thus no pics to share this time) Back in 2009, it was because my batteries died in my camera as soon as the curtain dropped. Good God.

The only disappointment was the so-called fans in the section other than the floor that were sitting on their hands the whole show. Even Paul Stanley made mention that they "look like [your] watching TV." The other thing is there were a lot of older people there. And I'm not just talking about people that were fans when the band started, but people that were older than the boys themselves. I'm 39 (soon to be 40 *sigh*) but there were literally people there with walkers. Yes, walkers! That really doesn't do much to dissuade the talk of the band and it's fan base being old. I mean really old. I mean God bless them and welcome to the show, but wow.

But once again, like I said the boys were in top form and even Stanley's voice was better than it was last September in Detroit at the DTE, which is saying something being 59 and at the home stretch of the tour.
Another drawback was that I didn't see any USB concert sticks that were available at the DTE and back in 2009. That doesn't mean that they weren't for sale, just that I didn't see them. A bit of a bonus as well was that the tour shirts were a bit cheaper this time.

This was the fifth time seeing them for me. I know that's not even remotely close to some people as I've read some on kissfansite.yuku.com have seen them well over 100 times. I wish. And I hope to catch them next year when the new album comes out sometime either late this year or early next. I don't know what I'll do when they finally do stop touring. I will be majorly bummed.

But for now I'll enjoy the hell out them as they continue to be the hottest band in the world.
KISS rules baby!
