KISS Live In Stuttgart 18-6-2008

On june 18th I went to see my 5th KISS show in Stuttgart (Germany) I had to drive for almost 5 hrs and I was glad I stayed the night in a hotel, so that I don’t had to drive all the way back after the gig. I arrived around 4 pm at my hotel, checked in, got something to eat and arrived at the venue around 6 pm. Of course I was approach by fans who know me from this site, talked about the shows I had seen on this tour ect.

I had a seat ticket on the first row at the left side of the stage (this time took some special effects photo’s) and it was almost a sold out. This time I ran into Dean again, thanked him that he got my Meet & Greet Photo signed in Mannheim and Dean said he would give my message through to the "boys". I also saw Doc walking several times between the crowd. KISS gave another great show, but Paul’s voice seems to be in trouble again. Gene & Eric where fooling around with eachother, at one time Eric threw some drumsticks to him, lol. Tommy was also great to watch on stage. Setlist was the same as at previous shows.

Here are the photo's, enjoy...

KISS Live @ Arrow Rock 15-6-2008

So finally on June 15th KISS was in my home country, for the first time in 9 years! The band was headliner on the big Arrow Rock Festival, besides KISS also other bands performed, like Def Leppard & Whitesnake. Around 2 pm we arrived at the festival, as a luxe ticket holder, you became a parkplace right before the intrance of the place. Also you got a free T-Shirt and a place right before the big stage! And we could get free drinks all the day…

It was a rainy, cold day, but we had a awesome time. Also all the time during the day, people came up to me and give me compliments on my site. I met with friends from several forums ect. Fans came to the festival from worldwide and about 30.000 people saw KISS that night.

Around 9 pm it was time for the Hottest Band In The World. And I saw, once again a great show, for me a very special show…KISS did all the tricks in the show, even Paul did his flying act. Because of our good spots on the right side of the stage we had a lot of interacting with Tommy, he was smiling to us and looked us right in the eyes! Paul did wear his jacket later in the show and during the show he mentioned the KISS Army Netherlands! Also he hold up the Dutch flag on stage.Here’s the setlist:

Deuce, Strutter, Got To Choose, Hotter Than Hell (with Gene’s firebreathing) Nothin’ To Lose, C’mon And Love Me, Parasite, She (with Tommy’s Guitarsolo) 100.000 Years (With Eric Drumsolo and a cool jam session) Cold Gin, Let Me Go Rock & Roll, Black Diamond, Rock & Roll All Night, Shout It Out Loud, Lick It Up (with Won’t Get Fooled Again Part) I Love It Loud (With Gene’s bloody bassolo) I Was Made For Lovin  You, Love Gun (with Paul’s flying act) Fans singing the Dutch National Athem & Detroit Rock City.

I had a great time and here are some photo’s, enjoy…

After the show I picked up my copy of the Live CD and special Arrow Luxe T-shirt. KISS did only sell a small part of their merchandise at this festival, tourbooks sold out fast, so I missed mine, but will buy a copy on one of the other shows.


I came accros this photo of me and my girlfriend (right side) that was taking from the videoscreen during KISS performance @ the Arrow Rock Festival!
