Ace Frehley - Live at Pops, Sauget, Ill, 02/26/08 (REPOST)


Again, this set has been posted for some time now in many places. I decided to add today just so my rockin' buddy Grant can snag. Special thanks to my friend Joe from New York for sending me this on disc. I actaully saw Ace a few nights after this show, at a place called the Bears Den at Seneca Casino, Niagara Falls (USA). I met Joe at that show, as he was seated next to us.
Ace only did about a week's worth of shows, and we felt pretty fortunate to catch him in such a small venue. Capacity at Bears Den is only 475 (!!) - talk about intimate! And the band just KICKED ASS from the word go. Ace was actually upright and sober, and he surrounded himself with younger guys who really knew how to deliver.
They stuck to a nice mix of Ace solo stuff, and (of course) some Kiss classics. It was pretty powerful to hear that material after so many years. He was working on his new album (coming next month I think) but they didn't play any new stuff that night. I can safely say that everyone there that night was completely blown away!! And to top it all off, the tickets were a whopping $30 for that show (!!!!!!). I call that a bargain......
Enough of my yaking.....check it out.....

These are MP3's @ 192K
