Ditto. KISS was my first gig at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1979...it was the
'Dynasty' tour....last go-round with the original line-up. This is the one
where the band members' costumes went technicolor (Paul was in a devine pink
chiffon :-) It was the loudest concert bar none, until I saw The Odds at the
Toronto Music Awards in 1995 where upon Steven Drake and the boys split
eardrums when they played.
