Ok just got back from the gig! ACE WAS FOOKIN' ACE!!!
My girlfriend even got Ace's plectrum that has his sweaty fingerprint on it...it wore out some of the text on it. I bought the autographed cd and the tour shirt...setlist was this, as I remember it:
("Genghis Khanish" intro)
ROCKET RIDE
PARASITE
SNOWBLIND
SISTER
OUTERSPACE
SPEEDING BACK TO MY BABY
SATISFACTION/2000 MAN
LOVE HER ALL I CAN
FOXY AND FREE
NEW YORK GROOVE
FOX ON THE RUN
ROCK SOLDIERS
SHOCK ME
Ace solo
DEUCE/SHOUT IT OUT LOUD
RIP IT OUT
LOVE GUN
COLD GIN
BLACK DIAMOND OUTRO
Good stuff there!!! I personally wouldn't mind if he dropped songs like Love Gun and Shout it Out Loud and replaced them with more solo tunes...no matter how good they sound with Ace playing the lead guitar, the drummer and the rest of the band make it sound like a KISS cover band only....
RIP IT OUT, PARASITE, SNOWBLIND, ROCK SOLDIERS (a surprise add), ROCKET RIDE, SHOCK ME, COLD GIN, SISTER...best songs of the night...Ace in good condition having fun...what more can I say, I enjoyed this more than I enjoyed KISS a few years ago, even if it was a decent gig too...only "minus" was the flaming guitar being out of tune during a part of the solo, but who cares...
"This next song's about cocaine...I don't do it anymore, but it's still a fucking good song!"
(on Snowblind)
Gene can hire anyone he wants to play the Space Ace...it still sounds like KISS with replacements...but when Ace plays his best stuff, he is and forever will be the one and only Space Ace.
Will post photos later.
