I only saw KISS for the first time on the tour before this one.  The tour played here (which is rare for bigger rock bands) so we made sure to go.    The show itself wasn't all that great.  You didn't have that synergy that you need between the band and the crowed to have a truly great concert.   To this date I don't know if it was the band or the audience but the show wasn't all that great :(

I also like G under P's posts about going deaf at his first concerts.  I had the same problem.   I thought it was mildly bad at some of my first shows, then I saw Soundgarden.  I couldn't hear anything for days.   Everything sounded like static.   It took a few days to subside to ringing.   I still have permanent hearing damage from that show.   My dad who never lectures me on anything sat me down and told me to start wearing earplugs to shows.  Good advice.

Over the years not from 1878 mind you, I was under several influences and I even knew I was spelling deaf incorrectly. I have noticed some major hearing loss in that I've been to hundreds of concerts and being a DJ in college certainly has contributed to my hearing loss.

 KISS and the Isley Brothers were loud maybe more so they were my first concerts. However, the ones that took my over the top was Def Leppard and ACDC. DL was front row side floor with speakers blaring in my right ear @ the Capital Centre. I moved up in the stands I had major headache. Then came the Black Ice tour, I heard warnings of how this was going to be loud. I took the warnings seriously especially since I was taking my 14 year old daughter. I had THE top of the line earplugs for both of us and I STILL left that show with my ears ringing. I don't know how those guys can take that volume of music night after night.....and look what has happen to former lead singer Brian Johnson. I believe hes completely deaf, I wonder if he can recall that I once waited on and served him the band and road crew food 3am in the morning. 

Say does anyone know if KISS will play South Florida?

They’re playing Tampa on 4/11 and Sunrise on 8/6. I’m in for the Sunrise show if I can get a $20 ticket.

Ok then Sunrise is more like it cause I'm not driving to Tampa. I have driven to Tampa for the last RUSH R40 tour.

Sunrise is not far and that 8/6 sounds great if I'm in this country, we shall see thanks.

Wait a $20 you mean its possible to get a $20 ticket to ANY concert today. I paid $55 for a spring training game between the Red Sox & the Nationals across the street. I would be in for $20 bucks just to get back the nostalgia of that 1978 show.

Live Nation offers $20 tickets for certain bands during “National concert week” in late April/early May. Last year they had like 60 or 70 bands that you could get $20 tickets for. I got tickets for Chicago, Buddy Guy, and Godsmack. Kiss might be one of those bands this year so it’s good to take advantage of cheap tickets that week.
