The Inner Sanctum, a podcast delving into Kiss's "unofficial" (or in some cases, now legitimized) live archive. In this episode: Tiger Stadium (June 1996).
This discussion brings me back to the whole era.I remember waiting online at a video store for MSG I was 15. first show sold out in five minutes. Second show in like 10, then some guy there said he knew that they were going to add more. no one believed him and sure enough they did once they announced the last show on July 28th my bracelet number got called first and I was able to get floor seats, what time I remember, leaving the show thinking this is what it might’ve been like to see them in the 70s. I felt the flames when they went off. This whole discussion brought me back to this whole time. I remember freaking out when I saw them on the Grammys and I said oh my God they’re back. Thank you again for these memories.
I think Julian was on the KISS Army email list that Hunter Goatley hosted on the Western Kentucky University email server. That's where I got the majority of my up to date KISS news. I was lucky enough to go to both the Weenie Roast show and Tiger Stadium, so I posted some pretty detailed reviews of the shows a day or two after on that list. I was working at a radio station at the time, so I was able to dial in our satellite to listen to the press conference live from the Intrepid. I got through on the phone to Ticketmaster to get my Tiger Stadium tickets. I ended up getting 14th row of floor section D, and I'm guessing that was not a front section, because I don't remember being 14 rows from the stage, but I can't find a seating chart for Tiger Stadium concerts to see where exactly it was. I think it was the second section back right of center. I didn't know who was going to go with me, but I ended up meeting up with someone from New Zealand that I connected with on the KISS Army mailing list when I posted about having an extra ticket.
ill always feel that the reunion tour wouldve finally been a great excuse to let us fans hear mr speed live finally by the original band and it wouldve been sweet to have the return of she parasite and nothin to lose on the reunion tour,...but its just another moment of leaving cash on the table
