Ok...so I did a show from the 70's and the 80's. Now here is a 90's show. I decided to watch the 4/5/97 Columbus, GA show where Eddie Kannon replaced Peter Criss for the night. I had never watched past the first 2 songs. Here is my question about this night. The official story is he missed the show because of "sore muscles", but how long in advance did they know they were going to replace him? They had to get Eddie Kannon into makeup. Anyway. Here are my thoughts on the whole show.
Deuce - The opening sounded horrible Right off the bat
Just by the sound of the drums..someone is hitting them VERY hard!Decent version of the song..but not setting it on fire
King Of The Night Time World - Decent version of the song...not a lot going on...just seem to be going through the motions.
Ed's at least having a good time.
Ed's on cue with the ending of the song
Let Me Go Rock N Roll - After Paul gives Ed a great into...he screws up the beginning of the song..and it's almost a train wreck.
The slow motion crap on house feed...really...what’s the point.
Paul and that damn finger licking stuff!!!
The whole damn song is in this slow mo crap!
Really good version of the song after the first mishap
Here's a view I never want to see again...
To me it’s kind of funny...when they get to the middle of the song Ace is on the left of the drum riser, Paul in the middle and Gene on the right just looking at Ed. Almost like saying...doing a good job...just hang in there
During Paul's people over there let me hear you rap...check out the girl sitting in the front row. Looks very upset about Peter not being there
Do You Love Me - Really good version of the song...everybody seems to be on it!!
Always loved the ending of this song on the reunion tour. Great way to end the song!!
Firehouse - Yeah!! More slow mo crap!!
The guys are really getting in synch...sounds really good!
It needs more cowbell!!
Watchin You - Song was really going along good...was sitting here digging it when Gene screws up the line "I'm sitting here..not quite aware." I'm not sure what he said...it just kind of kills it when he screws up.
Ed gets kind of lost during the middle of the song...but just keeps going and recovers!!
Shock Me - Ace seemed to have way more energy on the reunion tour.
Good version of the song...sounds really good!
Just liked this pic...
The effects of the screen split into 4's is cool. Plus having on a bootleg is awesome
Solo - This is ALWAYS one of my fav. parts of the show!!
Pretty good one so far!
The call to the post riff is always cool!
Great...more slow mo crap...really does anyone enjoy it??
Really liked this shot during the solo
The classical part that he plays towards the shooting is always been a fav part of mine.
Ok..FINALLY a part I liked with the slow mo!!
Dr. Love - Why is this song so popular? It’s a good song...but not a high point of the show to me.
Ok version of the song...but then again...hard for me to say it's rockin or anything like that
Shout It Out Loud - Wow the other song that I hate live. Just always thought this was a weak song.
The only part I enjoy is the way Paul and Gene switch of vocals
Again...decent version of the song.
Cold Gin - More slow mo!! For the whole song...yea!!
Really good version of the song.
Always thought it was cool that Ace sang the second verse on the tour!
Anybody ever drank cold gin? I have had gin...but never cold....anybody??
Love Gun - Surprised that Ed did a really good job on the start of the song
Gene sounds like crap sinning the backup vocals
Ok version of the song..nothing to write home about
Long video drop out during the song...the entire solo
Get really bad picture when Paul flies back to the stage
Cmon And Love Me - This is great live song and this is a pretty good version of it
Nothing special going on during the song....everyone staying in the same spot on the stage.
Great song, but boring to watch during this show!
I Was Made For Loving You - Always heard Gene hates playing this song live...anybody know why??
This is a song sometimes is really good live or it just lays there....this is a decent version.
This song seems to made to be played live...it just fits.
Again...everybody just standing in the same spots on sage.
It looks like Ace is concentrating really hard on what he is playing
The camera man thinks they are getting a great "disco" shot of lights moving in and out of focus...WRONG!!
Gene's Solo - Gene seams really into. He let a little dribble out of his before he spits it....very cool.
OH!! Right before Gene spits the blood they take away the green light shining on him and put a clear light....talk about letting the air out of the balloon. It just lost all its coolness. So did the me saying the air out of the balloon line.
Other than the proofed out hair....this looks really 70's to me
God Of Thunder - IN SLOW MO! Cut it out!
Nice version of the song so far.
They start to take Gene off the platform before he is done singing...kind of funny.
Now there is a shot of the moon on the screen...WTF??
It is nice to hear the whole song played live without a drum solo in it!!
New York Groove - Out comes the flashing guitar. Does it get any cooler?
Seems like a weird song to follow God of Thunder with. From one of their heaviest songs to this one?
Decent version..think it’s hard to screw this one up.
100,000 Years - Gene now has no blood on him. Always better to me when he left it on.
Really good version of the song going on.
Ok...I think Ed is lost during the break down. His beat is just kind of all over the place....weird!
Other than the middle...it's a good version of the song.
Black Diamond - Always liked Paul's guitar intro before they play the song. Don't know why...just thought it really added something to the song.
Crap...more slow mo...they are killing me with this. Once they start it they keep it for the whole song.
Ok..his intro is running a little long here...just played what sounded like part of the solo from Animalize Uncensored.
Paul is singing the song...sounds NICE!!
Never even dawned on me when the song started that Peter was not playing with them!!
Wonder what Ed was thinking when the drum riser started going up??
DRC - Really good version of the song going here.
Again kind of boring to watch..nobody really moving around.
Why did Gene ever start licking Ace's neck during this song live??? Anybody??
I know this sounds stupid, but part of the magic is gone for me when they come back to play the encore and Ace has a watch one now. If he had it on the whole show I did notice it or it was covered up by his arm guards.
I got a dollar says RNRAN will be in slow mo!!
RNRAN - It's in slow mo!!!
If I was Ed I would really be going for it on this song....this would be your last chance to play with KISS....go out in style!!
Too cheap to pay for a real shirt at the show
Better yet..can anybody tell me what this shirt is?
Really good version of the song going on. I hate the studio version of this song.
Nothing like coming to show in matching Calvin and Hobbs shirts.
What is wrote on her forehead?
What is wrote on her forehead?
Holy crap are they all together??
All in all it was a good show. I really liked the fact I did not have to hear Beth again. There is something so boring about that song when Peter sings with a backup tape.
Eddie Kannon did a really good job for just filing in!! If you have not seen it...go get it!! It's KISSTORY!!!
