THATS GREAT....

anyone know who it was who Ed mentioned to about being at their 100th show ???

there was someone kinda close to me, probably 5th row or so in the 50's. they had a sign that said 100 on it. I couldn't read the rest

I know that doesn't help a whole lot

My 25 hour adventure! 8 Hours to get to NYC, 8 hours IN NYC and 8 hours getting home to meet an 8am 6/26 committment in upstate NY. I'm pretty drained today but what a show. The crowd was really good, the band was on fire (are they ever not, really?) and a lot of fun as usual. Highlights for me were Rats, WMA, SOLAT (always), Who You Are. I was in section 91, and met the guy who'd turned down the 4 grand he was offered for his night 1 tickets - nice dude (you rock for doing that!), and there were also a couple of PJ virgins in the section. The only regret was having to leave early to catch my bus at the Port Authority, so at 10:59 I left as Last Kiss was finishing up, and heard Why Go as I was pelting down the stairs. The only *good* thing about that was I got from MSG to the Port Authority in 8 minutes flat at a dead run. I'm sorry I missed all the excitement with Ace Frehley and Black Diamond, but it was either leave early or not attend the show and that wasn't an option!

One joy for me was to have A Ramone in the building. I missed a Ramones show that I had tickets for because I was underage, and while CJ wasn't with them during the time I missed their show, it was just cool.

It was listed incorrectly!! The description everything was for 6/25- Seller promptly gave me the money. It was his mistake. I did the cancellations line but to no results. Im really in a heartbreak here.

I hope you get a refund and a letter of apology from the prick.

I couldn't agree more. Throw in some Rats, Black Diamond, and Release and you got a good time.

Well I must say, I have waited a loooong time to finally see the band (I am 41) and it was a dream come true. Circumstances including a long illness kept me from getting out there to see them and it was worth the wait. Release to open the concert was my wish and it came true. However, the high point for me was Black Diamond! It has been 30 years since I went to my first concert at MSG and of course it was KISS. Nothing like symmetry of hearing one of the first live songs of my life done by the band (with Ace rocking so hard!! on his fender) I have waited so long to see.

Want to thank the 27 year olds on line for beer who were hitting on my wife (she loved it!) and the band for playing the only song she knows (Last Kiss). I appreciate her keeping me company and see me truly happy (This was payback for the Barry Manilow concert I had to go to).

BEST first post EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations
Glad it was so good for you

I agree. The guy is actually thanking people for hitting on his wife. That's great.

Yeah, I loved Night 2's setlist better than Night one but night one had more energy and a bit more tense than 2 was.

So both nights were incredible in their own ways.

He did..right away..Knew this happened by mistake...Just a matter of coincidence...If the same would had happened on Tues..easy...just get to Wed show...There were millions reasons....

I said night 1 was my best show ever and there is no way night 2 could top it. Well, MSG 2 was show #21 for me and most definitely the best. So many highlights, too many to mention...but Garden, SOLAT and Go definitely stand out. For some reason even the songs I normally say I am tired of hearing -- Corduroy, Betterman, Alive -- last night I sang at the top of my lungs and loved every second.

The best part is I was wearing my Mike shirt that I bought at the pre-show benefit in DC, and that second encore most definitely belonged to Mr. McCready. I was blown away when Ace came out, and further blown away when Mike sang, blown away even more by Matt's great singing, and blown away one last time by Ace's solo at the end of Black Diamond. This was obviously a huge treat for Mike, he was beaming throughout Alive and YL, and his Star Spangled Banner was a great, great closer.

Eveyone says how nice Mike is to the fans, always makes time to chat, take a picture...he throws picks by the handfull, acknowledges people in the crowd individually. It's nice when someone of his stature still "gets it" -- remembers what it's like to be a fan and gives so much back to us. So, sharing this incredible night with him, which I know was a highlight in his career, watching him jam with one of his idols, it was just an amazing thing to experience.

I don't know if any show will ever surpass this one for me, but I know I'll never forget it. I'm looking forward to getting my voice back.

Just got home. Had to do some consulting work after driving back from the city so I haven't had time to write a real write up yet, but I enjoyed Night 2 much more than Night 1. The floor bouncing was really freakin' cool during Save it for Later.

yeah that was sweet. I thought we were going to break right through to the hockey rink.

What a great couple of nights. I've never seen that sort of sustained energy throughout a whole show (let alone 2 shows). Flat out awesome!

deadhead321

the entire building rumbling and shaking was one of the coolest things i have ever experienced

in my location (sec 69, 5 rows off of stage right) the lower bowl bounced the hardest during DTE, WMA, Go and Rearviewmirror

Tonight had to be the greatest experience of my life

Mike Mccready was amazing on guitar and Eddie was his typical self.

The floor was shaking so much during Better Man and Alive

I can't wait for this to come out on CD and hopefully they will put this out on DVD too it was that damn good
