Diamant Noir, home of the French KISS Army, has issued the following report/photos from Adrian Czarny:
"As we know, Eddie Trunk's Halloween bash featuring ACE FREHLEY was sold out in less than two days, and the additional tickets sold within hours. The place was packed and the line outside the building grew very fast with time.The stage was visible right away and featured walls of amplifiers (Marshall's and Frehley's - yes, they had "Frehley's" on them!) and the backdrop that showed a witch with Ace's makeup on a 'rocket'... althought take a good look on the rocket though. The image on the backdrop was a typical Ace - spacey and funny.
The first segment was the costume contest hosted by 3 comedians and Ed Trunk, won by Metal Sludge's CC Banana dressed as "Ace Peeley".
And then, after a very, very long wait due to some technical difficulties, Ace and his band came out accompanied by an enormous roar from the crowd. This must've been the loudest reception I've ever heard. Ace immediately started with 'Rip It Out' and didn't stop until the fourth song! The band sounded incredibly tight and Ace looked and played better than ever! According to long time KISS fans, it was THE best Ace since the early 80's! For 'New York Groove', Ace played his lightning guitar and Anton Fig joined on drums. Incredible show with incredible energy.
Setlist: 'Rip It Out', 'Hard Times', 'Parasite', 'Snowblind' - 'I Want You', 'Rock Soldiers', 'Breakout', 'Into The Void', 'Strange Ways', 'Shock Me', 'NY Groove' (with Anton Fig), 'Shot Full Of Rock', 'Rocket Ride', Medley ('My Generation', 'How Many More Times', 'Bring It On Home', 'Highway To Hell'), 'Love Gun' 'Deuce' 'Cold Gin'."
Photos from the event can be seen at the Diamant Noir website.
