"Original trem"?

Just watching the last half - Paul's voice is shot by "Strutter". He does a pretty good job of covering it, having the crowd sing along. If this is the beginning of the tour, there is some suffering to come. On both sides of the mic....

Gene is wearing a wedding ring. That is all.

Like a previous poster, Kiss is the reason I pickup up a guitar in the first place. I agree that Alive! is probably a good representation of the early work. I thought Creatures of the Night was an excellent return to form after some very weird/soft efforts (Unmasked). They've been a parody of themselves to one degree or another since the 70's. Mark my words - it is only a matter of time before Gene and/or Paul retires, puts ANOTHER replacement behind the makeup and then sits back and enjoys the royalties. I've seen Kiss about 50 times over the years, and have pretty much lost interest since Thayer joined. Since Ace got sober he puts on a pretty good show. It's more of a straight rock and roll approach rather than flogging the old formula.
