FLASHBACK! Detroit Rock City Movie Premiere Mini-Concert 1999

Detroit Rock City Movie Premiere Mini Concert

August 9, 1999

Los Angeles



                                I was front row center but somehow didn't get filmed.
I used to be that guy. I actually ended up at this show by total accident.

I had driven over 1,000 miles to L.A. for personal reasons on August 3rd and 4th, 1999 and learned about the show coming in a few days.  I hadn't been back in L.A. in six years.

I got in for forty bucks but had to walk around for a few hours trying to find an extra ticket for sale, and got one just in time.  When I got in, nobody was a Kiss fan.  They were actors and stuff.
They were all eating the free food, and there was only one row of people lined up for awhile before showtime.

Some of my favorites...

They still sound the same after all of these years...

                                     You can tell they weren't getting along.

"I Finally Found My Way" wasn't Peter's fault!

Paul Stanley is a problem.
