The videos in this post *could* already exist elsewhere on this blog. I came across a Notepad file with the following information so I thought I would create a quick post with the embedded videos and if they are duplicated elsewhere... so be it!

Kiss Live In Cedar Rapids 4/20/1997 Full Concert Reunion Tour
With all the memories of KISS playing in 1992, I glanced at https://www.youtube.com/@SpacemanaceLive/videos and discovered a video from the KISS reunion show in Cedar Rapids in 1997.

I Don't Remember
So interesting how the mind works! I stumbled upon this page - https://www.kissconcerthistory.com/tourbooks/tourbook_1976_ontour2.php. I remember owning this tour book. I remember Earl and Sheila Billington - good friends of my parents - went to see KISS in Cedar Rapids and then they gave me the tour book from that concert. I remember separating the book into single pages and using Scotch tape to put some of the pages on my bedroom wall. I remember many of the pages in that tour book except for page 6 - https://www.kissconcerthistory.com/tourbooks/1976_ontour/tourbook_1976ontour_page06.jpg and page 11 - https://www.kissconcerthistory.com/tourbooks/1976_ontour/tourbook_1976ontour_page11.jpg. I know I had pages 5 and page 12 on my bedroom wall because I wanted every picture of Peter Criss I could find. The picture in the lower right of Peter Criss actually was the first time I ever saw a drummer with a cymbal and an upside down cymbal on the same stand.
KISS in 1990
The video below includes a drum solo by the late and great Eric Carr. While I never had the opportunity to see Eric Carr in concert, I have seen KISS twice:

Notes:
- "Strutter" replaced "Cold Gin" in the set.
- A small fire occurred in the rafters during the show, which was quickly extinguished.
- From a local review: "KISS vowed to bring down the roof of the Five Seasons Center, and a small fire in the rafters at the end of last night's three-hour show made concert goers wonder if it would do just that. The spectacle gave a new twist to the lyrics 'Heaven's on Fire' that dominate one of the band's more popular songs. The flames were quickly extinguished, and a cheer went up from the curious crowd of 6,000. Arena officials said it initially appeared a cloth ignited, and Fire Department personnel on hand for the event were still investigating. Small wonder. The show was loaded with pyrotechnics, including bombs and a shower of fireworks from the crown of a garish Statue of Liberty dominating the 80-foot stage.
Garish is the hallmark of KISS. From shock rock to schlock rock and back again, the venerable foursome has returned to the roots that carved a hard niche in rock history... Even without the makeup, Gene Simmons is still rather garish. His clothes are too tight, his tongue too long and lascivious, and he's looking old. The years have been kinder to Paul Stanley, who fronts most of the songs, and is still fun to watch as he cavorts across the stage. New to the band is drummer Eric Singer, who joined this year in the wake of Eric Carr, who died of cancer. Singer is the only blond among the men whose favorite color is black. Does he stand out in the crowd? Only with his relentless rhythms, eloquently showcased in an extended solo punctuated with lasers. Stanley really cooked on blazing guitar riffs during 'Hotter than Hell.' Unfortunately, the quiet one, guitarist Bruce Kulick, never had the chance to strut his stuff in the spotlight" (Cedar Rapids Gazette, 11/16/92).

Listening to KISS from 11-28-1984
I had been on the earth for 5473 days (14 years, 11 months, 3 weeks, 3 days) when KISS played this concert in NY. I was in 8th grade. Back then, high school was for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. I was at Kennedy High School for the graduating classes of 1986, 1987, and 1988 (my senior year). It's funny how I use dates to figure out simple things like what grade I was in.

Magic Touch
Magic Touch is a tune by the band KISS from their album Dynasty. Although many KISS fans and many music fans have described Dynasty as KISS' attempt to release a disco album, I don't describe the album that way. Instead, I hear some great tunes that left an impression on me as a young music fan. I owned the Dynasty album and its follo-up, Unmasked, on 8-track tape. Both albums are still held in high regard in my brain.

Awesome Drum Cave
In one of those "alternate realities" I wrote about last week - see https://prhmusic.blogspot.com/2022/11/obviously-no-but.html - I have a basement that looks similar to this drummer's cave and that is where my "Ideal Band" practices.
