SOLD OUT SHOW AWARD

KISS received this Award commemorating their SOLD OUT Oberhausen Show!

BLISTERING 2 HOUR + SHOW!

WOW! What a way to open their Alive 35 European Tour! KISS just destroyed Oberhausen Arena with a blistering 2 hour and 17 minute set that featured the complete ALIVE album and a six song encore! From the opening of 'Deuce' to the ending of 'Detroit Rock City', KISS grabbed the audience by the throat and never let go.

The band's performance was a true team effort and everyone was on top of their game! Paul danced, pranced and belted out vocals like it was 1975. Gene was, to put it simply, the DEMON - menacing on both bass and vocals. Eric pounded the drums, sang lead on 'Nothin' To Lose' & 'Black Diamond' and also sang along with Gene on several other songs. Tommy blazed his way through lead after lead, as well as an awesome solo complete with rocket shooting special effects.

KISS is always powerful and energetic, but tonight they some how turned it up a notch! And to think, this was just the first show..can't wait for Munich!

SET LIST IN ORDER:

Deuce Strutter Got To Choose Hotter Than Hell Firehouse Nothin' To Lose (Eric lead vocals) C'Mon And Love Me Parasite She Watchin' You Rock Bottom 100,000 Years Cold Gin Let Me Go Rock 'N' Roll Black Diamond (Eric lead vocals) Rock And Roll All Nite

Encore:

FANS ROCK KISS!

KISS rocked a sold out Oberhausen Arena tonight and the fans returned the favor. The crowd was almost as loud and energetic as KISS - standing, singing and screaming throughout the band's entire performance! Here are a few photos of 'KISS fans in action' at the Oberhausen show.

PRESS CONFERENCE PHOTOS

Here are some photos from the KISS press conference, held earlier today in Oberhausen, Germany. The band posed for photos and took questions about their Alive / 35 European Tour. Over 120 journalists and photographers from the biggest magazines and TV-stations around Europe attended. The band held a 5 minutes photo session and then the press conference lasted for about 25 minutes.

KISS were in really great spirits and joked around with the press. After the conference was over, they did about 10 different TV-interviews in a separate room.

Tomorrow is a big day - 9 years of waiting for the European fans is finally over!!
