    The Vic Theatre, 2007.

    I love the way Eddie pauses Trouble after the first verse, saying he feels like he's playing at a disco with all the flashes going off.

    "So, if you've got some cocaine for me to take, then I'll feel a little more at home in a disco but...or, or, maybe we'll just stop with the flashes. Okay?"

    Black Diamond played during the second encore. KISS was my first concert that I ever went to when they played Chicago Stadium in 1977, Uriah Heep opened.
    Posimists. Fuck the pessimists...fuck'em.
