New Year's Eve, great Show. We were there to open it, it was a big night. Didnt expect anybody else to be on the bill. and then Kiss happened. A giant sign hanging from the ceiling, Light Bulbs, flash pots, flames, all the gadgets, gizmos, and everything that had nothing to do with music.

We had a small teenage Lust light up with christmas lights kind of sign cut out of styrofoam. They had the major, We're talking Las Vegas style Light Bulb sign.

And then Kiss went on with the flames and the giant sign. It was like, if you pardon the expresssion, "Oh Fuck. " Not exactly what you wantedto go on after. And then Gene's Hair went on fire an I'm like, "is that part of the act?" How is it that they did that?

People in the front row said, "what the hell is this?" They'd never seen anything like it before. It was truely a unque night.
