KISS Performs In Verona; Photos Available

May 14, 2008

According to a posting on KISS' official web site, the band performed last night at the Verona Arena (Arena di Verona),a Roman amphitheatre in Verona, Italy, which was built about 2,000 years ago.

"Seeing the band in this open-air venue was an incredible experience," reads a posting on the site. "And if the setting wasn't enough, the audience in Verona was easily one of the best ever at a KISS concert.

"From the opening of 'Deuce' through the end of 'Detroit Rock City', the audience stood singing and cheering through the entire show. The crowd was so loud at times, that Paul [Stanley, guitar/vocals]acknowledge them several times with an 'I love it.'

This was truly an electrifying KISS show!

Other notes about the Verona Show:

* Though you couldn't tell from his energetic performance, Paul was suffering from a bad case of bronchitis.

* Eric performed an extended drum solo during '100,000 Years'.

* Entire audience hummed 'Detroit Rock City' guitar solo!

* KISS was presented with a beautiful award celebrating the band's worldwide album sales!"
