One of my greatest concert experiences that I have had was when I went to go see Kiss at Chicago Open Air in Toyota Park, Illinois. I have been into Kiss since 2007, ever since I was a freshman in high school. I had never gone to a concert of theirs before. There was always something going on or I never could afford it. I almost didn't go this year, because I couldn't get a ride out there. So one night I was out with one of my friends at Tilted Kilt the previous night before the show. I asked him if he wanted to drive and I'd pay for his ticket. He agreed even though he didn't know anything about Kiss or any of the other bands playing that day. I think it was nice for him to get a first concert experience in his life. I had gone to concerts before, but this one was the one that I have been looking forward to the most. The journey to the concert made me feel like as if I was in the movie Detroit Rock City. At the concert there were many other bands playing. I enjoyed as many as I could like Antrhax, Megadeth, Suicide Silence, Falling In Reverse, Meshuggah, Rob Zombie. I was able to capture a lot of photos and videos. So when Kiss played that night, I was extremely excited, it felt totally unreal. It was a dream of mines to see them live during my lifetime and while the current members were still alive. The concert had everything you could ever ask for in the show, loud music, pyrotechnics, fire breathing, insane zip lining stunts, levitating drums, massive amounts of lights, and sooo much more. I was so happy and was lucky enough to make my way to the 4th row to see them closer. Every song that they played was amazing and took me through a great music trip. It was basically the best time of my life. I am so grateful that I had the privilege to go.
