Kiss for Canada Day

Kiss played Fort McMurray, AB at Macdonald Island Park on July 2^nd for their Canada Rocks Festival!  It was the only Alberta date for this tour, and resulted from the thousands of fans requesting or "demanding" that Kiss play Fort McMurray.  The show started with an amazing introduction video of their infamous 7 inch boots coming towards the stage, as the Larger than Life characters prepared to rock the crowd.  We have seen Kiss several times.  Even though this was an outdoor show, Kiss seemed to go all out with more fire, pyro, lights, and fireworks than usual.  There were also jumbo screens to ensure the 10,000+  fans in attendance didn't miss a thing.  Even with an over-zealous general admission crowd, we lucked out and managed to secure spots in the front row.

Towards the end of the encore Gene and Tommy were escalated on risers approximately 30 feet in the air while playing.  As they came down; Paul shattered his guitar and gave it out to the audience. 

There were mass amounts of confetti shot out to the audience once 'Rock And Roll All Night' started, and the crowd went wild! We had confetti everywhere it seemed there was way more of the white shredded tissue-like paper than usual! We feel sorry for whoever is responsible for cleaning up that mess!!! As at most Kiss shows, many of those in attendance wore make-up like Paul and Gene.  What an incredible way to wrap-up a Canada Day weekend!
