Our Meet & Greet With KISS In Prague!!!

Early morning on june 14th 2013 we arrived at the airport in Prague (Szech Republic) took the metro to our hotel, checked in and after we had diner we headed over to the 02 Arena.
We arrived there around 2:30 PM and found the place were we had to be for our Meet & Greet with KISS!
We decided to do this M&G because of the intimate acoustic show, they haven't do that before on M&G in Europe in the past.
Around 3:30 we saw Dean and we know it was time for our experience. We got our wristbands and M&G laminates. Than we got down stairs and came in the room were everything will took place. We managed to get directly front row, so that we had a awesome view on the band! Dean handing out our M&G package that included a cool VIP T-Shirt, a 3D Monster Ticket, a special Monster Tin with cool M&G Guitarpics all packed in a Tote bag.
At 5 PM the band, under a lot of cheering, walked in to the room and the fun started.
We shook hands with Gene, Paul, Eric & Tommy and it was so unbelievable that we stood so close to them, less than a meter. We could see everything and again it was unbelievable!
The band was in a great spirit, joking around, throwing guitarpics to everybody. The band played for 50 minutes (at previous M&G they played for 25 minutes or so) and we heard some great tunes.
This was the acoustic setlist: Comin' Home, Mr. Speed, Love Her All I Can, Nothing To Lose, She, Hide Your Heart, Going Blind, Christeen Sixteen & Sure Know Something.

After the acoustic show it was time for meet the band and got our items signed, like the Monster album cover.
Also we managed to get our photo with Gene, Paul, Tommy & Eric seperatly!
We had a blast during the first part of our KISS Meet & Greet Experience, we also got our hands on Paul Stanley's drink bottle!
Was this M&G better than our other 2 in 2010 and 2008? YES! With the addition of the acoustic show you get more intimate time with the band! And you can be so awesome close to the band that it's unbelievable and for sure a experience that we'll never forget!
Here are 2 video's we shoot during the acoustic show: Love Her all I Can & Hide Your Heart, enjoy...

Also we took many photo's and here's a selection of them...

After this part was over we had to come back at 8 PM for our official photo with the band in make-up!
At 8:30 PM it was time for our photo moment, we got 6 photo's with the band, seperatly and together and as you can see they turned out great!
We also saw Shannon and manager Doc McGee.
Then it was time for the show, we had "golden circle" tickets and minutes later the show started. The setlist was the same as in Berlin, 2 days earlier, but this time we could see the spider in action! He looked amazing!
Enjoy our photo's of the show...
And to end my report, here's my video from Say Yeah from Prague, enjoy...

Our Trip To KISS Live In Berlin!

After our flight to Berlin (Germany) we took the train to our hotel in Berlin-Spandau, checked in and headed over to the Waldbuhne. We arrived there at 2:30 PM and went straight to the gate. Not many fans were there yet, so we hoped for a good spot at the show. With a delay of 1 hour, the gates went open at 6 PM and as soon when they're open we had to run down a lot of stairs. We were fast and managed to get front row on the left of the stage, a.k.a. Gene's place!
The crew was still preparing the stage for the show and looking at the spider, we directly noticed that it was smaller than we had saw it on pictures before. So, we were afraid that maybe the spider will be not working this show, because the stage was to small and not high enough. We heard that the show will be starting sooner as usual.
At 8:15 PM it was time, we heard the wellknown announcement; You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best, The Hottest Band In The World... KISS! The curtain dropped and KISS started with Psycho Circus and sadly, the spider didn't work, the band didn't came down on the spider, but walked on stage! But the party was on as soon the band played their first song.
With the spot we had, we could see everything and we took some awesome photo's. It was great to see KISS again when we saw them on the KISS Kruise II 7 months ago. We can't get enough of them, lol.
During War Machine Gene breathes fire and after Out Of This World Tommy & Eric did their jam with the cool bazooka ending. Because of the small stage, Gene didn't fly during his bass solo and Paul didn't fly over to the B-stage! As a open air show there was a lot of pyro and bombs during and after the show. The band sounded great and played till 10:10 PM.

The setlist was: Psycho Circus, Shout It Out Loud, Let Me Go, Rock 'N' Roll, I Love It Loud, Hell Or Hallelujah, War Machine (Gene breathes fire) Heaven's On Fire, Deuce, Say Yeah, Shock Me (Only first & second verse)Outta This World (Tommy & Eric Jam) God Of Thunder (Gene bass solo intro — spits blood) Lick It Up, Love Gun, Rock & Roll All Nite. Encores: Detroit Rock City, I Was Made For Lovin' You, Black Diamond.

At the merchandise boot, they sold not all the merchandise and all was in the censored ZZ logo. They didn't sold the tourbook, Monster Hoodie and some of the T-Shirts.
We stood front row and the show and we shoot a lot of great photo's! Here's a selection, enjoy...

Also enjoy our video of Psycho Circus the opening of the show...
