so many stupid comments like "sad"... the guy is 73 years old, who is any where near their prime at 73? He was never a really good singer, even in his younger years. If you are going to see a 73 yo guy play, you need to adjust your expectations. Have you seen Elton John, Billy Joel, or any of the contemporaries of peak 70's Kiss? they are all shadows of their former greatness, Ace is the same. I think his playing sounds pretty good, would I pay to go see him - no. I had a shot to see Elton John last year, skipped that too, Sting and Billy Joel this year, skipped that too. I would never see Guns N Roses now, Axel's voice is gone. But if I did go, I wouldn't sit there and bitch about how "they've lost it" or how they are "sad" - no shit! they are old and 30+ years past their prime!
Sammy Hagar is older and out there touring and is wayyy better than this hack. I also saw Billy Joel not too long ago and he was fantastic. So age doesn’t always mean you’re going to suck.
Ace survived a lot! He drank and took drugs for years and crashed his sports car and almost died. He finally got sober a few years ago but he lost a lot of years. It’s actually a minor miracle that he’s alive because he almost didn’t make it. He could have been yet another Rock n Roll casualty. I’m glad he survived! Yet admit I prefer him with Space Ace make up and Costume. He can’t do that anymore as he sold the rights to the Space Man Makeup and character. So did Peter Criss. At least he can still do his songs from KISS! He looks and sounds good here! I’m still a loyal fan since I was 15 and in the Kiss Army! Keep Rocking Ace! ⚡️💫
He is sober! The guy is just being himself! Besides, let see you & all the haters get up on stage in your 70’s after being a rock legend for over 50 years!
All the haters just don’t know Ace! Also, I’m sure he is sorry that you don’t like the live sound & how he plays the way he wants to play the music he wrote! The guy made more money doing this one show than any of you will make in months to a year!
I love Ace and have loved him since going to see Kiss way back in '77 for The Love Gun Tour but this? Was truly horrible, is he that broke that he must tour? Cause if not he's not helping himself here,please stop Ace❤🎸😎👍
@@alabastersmidge4692 Yes! And it’s where I became a fan as they came very close to stealing the show from Kiss,as they were on fire they played nonstop with hardly any speaking ,as they let the music do the talking(thanks Joe!) check the setlist online and you’ll see why!
Ace is worth way more than that! Have you not seen the homes he’s lived in? Have you not seen the cars he drives that cost over 6 figures? The guy has racked in more than 2 million a year just on what he was getting from Kiss! From royalties to the use of his Space man character!
@@GNewcomb-q9v Don't get me wrong I love ACE! While I agree that he did have all that? But that was years ago, and I've read that between his marriages/divorces and the payouts, not to mention, that he's well known not being able to look after his finances very good. He hasn't lived in those huge mansions for years! Between that and the fact he's still touring, and in places that are not places a person of his stature should be playing at, many think he has to tour to keep paying the bills? Whatever the reason, his playing has slipped dramatically in the last year alone, and there are reports that he didn't even play on his own album???? Times are hard for Ace and I believe he should bow out before it gets worse❤🎸😎👍
kind of disappointed in that guitar tech…. Strap not on, picks not sticking, not plugged into an extra wireless pack- come on, brother, you got one job…. As to Ace- This is the best playing I’ve seen from him in years. A self taught 70’s icon, turned 80’s solo spectacle, Ace is the inspiration for so many players. I first saw him in 1979, a 12-year old kid with dreams of playing just like him. Then, in the late 80’s with the Comet, where his playing was far better than anyone gives him credit! Two shows on the reunion tour- Dallas, night 6, and Oklahoma City on the second leg- pure magic. Again in 98, Oakland, California. 2000, saw them in Sacramento on the “farewell” tour, where i was really unimpressed, and felt the magic has dimmed for all of them. Ran into him at NAMM 2014, on Sunday- his entourage was too massive to even get a head nod, but there he was, shades and leather, so cool. The guy is an icon. He’s not Vai. Dime. Yngwie. But, dammit, his frenetic style created legions of young players, eager to get on a stage, and light up the sky. Thank you, Ace. I still play at 57. And i often throw on a kiss song, and wail away right there with you
If he would have stayed off the booze and the pipe he would have been there for the End of the Road Tour. Peter too. Shame these people get on drugs when they have so much to lose..
What does that have to do with the “final” piss show? Ace was never fired! He left both times! First time Peter was fired but second time they did not want to pay him! Who was at the final show from the past lineups of Kiss? They did not invite any of Carr’s family! They did not invite Bruce nor Mark’s family! Paul wanted the final show to be all about him & then the other three! By the way, Ace has been sober for many years & Peter left all that crap behind in the 80’s! Peter just doesn’t want anything to do with Gene & Paul! Ace wanted paid to show up! That’s on top of the money he was getting every time Tommy put on Ace’s makeup!
@@GNewcomb-q9v not true on many aspects. Ace and Peter both were in rehab in early 2000’s. Gene and Paul actually asked them to be a part but Peter declined and Ace demanded money as if he had always been a part of the band. Bruce was a part of some final shows as well. To this day does work with Gene.
Het is ronduit zielig dat de afzonderlijke aandachtszieke Kiss leden nu bijna allemaal solo met Kiss nummers touren, dit klinkt ook niet best, ken betere Kiss coverbands, maar goed als er mensen geld aan uit willen geven 🤷♂️
Guys released multiple solo albums but plays three songs from them and the rest are Kiss classics. Either way he butchers them. Youd think hed be able to nail them. A teenager wouldn't suck this bad
Wow, you are still trying to bring that up? Try watching The Second Coming documentary! Tommy just brought up, with Ace & Peter that the songs were not played the same no more! It shows how they were ALL re-learning to play those songs the original way! P.S., Tommy was the worst guitarist they ever had! Every time he put on Ace’s makeup, Ace got paid!
Ace Frehley my favorite KISS ever since i was in junior high school 76 77 78... so underrated
Not he's rated where he should be. Good but not great!
Love Ace's leads and tone.
Ace is doing good! Pretty nice performance.
Get up there in your 70s and do that well!
I didn't think so haters!
Old school rock n roll. Cool Ace.
ACE...ENUFF SAID PEOPLE 💰💰💰💰
Love Ace! Always have Always will🤘
Ace is a legend and he was the coolest member of Kiss. Ace Frehley deserves props for still rocking out for fans at his age which is not easy.

His prime was 1975

@tjc6901 hey let's be honest HE SUCKED 5O years ago
Two of my top 5 Kiss albums are Unmasked and Love Gun . Great era
Unmasked is such an underrated album….
Here’s the reason most people around my age picked up the guitar!
Fantastic! Although I was sort expecting to hear some radio interference from the nearby airbase.
Great video! We were there as well in front! Thanks for sharing.
I'm jealous! Ace sounds amazing!!!
@@alabastersmidge4692 Does he???
I am trying to find that feeling in 1977 when I bought Love Gun. The excitement of them coming to Portland. It is elusive.
No lip sync. Out of sync, but no lip sync.
It’s called live! It’s also called being his self at 70 something!
@@GNewcomb-q9v At 70 some-thing, some-can, some-can't. He gets to decide how he will be remembered, this probably isn't what he had in mind.
Lip sync Kiss have given up and the real rock star of Kiss keeps rockin
I'm down to the bare wire!!
Great lead into your Solo Ace.
He should do a big show
not really
Ace survived a lot! He drank and took drugs for years and crashed his sports car and almost died. He finally got sober a few years ago but he lost a lot of years. It’s actually a minor miracle that he’s alive because he almost didn’t make it. He could have been yet another Rock n Roll casualty. I’m glad he survived!

Keep Rocking Ace! ⚡️💫
Fa-Fa-Friggin Fa-Fa Frehley ~
People are to cynical. Reading the comments before I actually watched it i expected a train wreck like no other.....it was fine.
Ace is doing good! People just don’t want to realize Ace is being Ace!
Fine is the right word.
For all the Ace haters.....I want to see you try to play while completely hammered!!!
He’s not hammered though. He’s been sober for years. Check it if you don’t believe me……….
He is sober! The guy is just being himself! Besides, let see you & all the haters get up on stage in your 70’s after being a rock legend for over 50 years!

Did Cheap Trick open the show in 77 when you saw them?
@@alabastersmidge4692 Yes! And it’s where I became a fan as they came very close to stealing the show from Kiss,as they were on fire they played nonstop with hardly any speaking ,as they let the music do the talking(thanks Joe!) check the setlist online and you’ll see why!

Who cares if the solo is to early this is'nt a kids sand box kafufle
Professional musicians care

Don’t be a KISStard your whole life.
I think the tech may have also dropped a bass behind the bass amp on the left side lol 6:13
Kiss is nothing with out Ace.........
Yeah he was missed on the lik it up tour! and revenge tour world wide

I know it's rock and roll, but most of Ace's notes were off pitch.
He sucks. He's lost what little ability he did have.
@@rodbelding9523 Yep. It's embarrassing.
Yes sadly
@@rodbelding9523 what little he did have? Haha joke comment
His pitch was off in 1977😂 its Ace!!!❤
People paid for this?
It was only 2 dollars to get in😅😅
@@kevinmccool3719 get a refund

How DARE YOU!!!😡
@@alabastersmidge4692 Ace has sucked since 1989
Trouble Walkin?@@hockeyeverything4339
Starts playing the solo in Deuce too early 😂
Ace should hire Tommy Thayer. Tommy could teach him how to play the songs Ace forgot he composed

But you guys are here watching and making stupid comments. I'd much rather pay to see Ace live than see fake kiss playing to backing tracks
Sad
Cheer up !!!
Is he drunk?
He’s just Ace! The guy has been sober for many years!
Oh my 🤮
Very flat voice
This is a joke
Somebody SHOCK Ace into retirement.
Where is your legacy?
Looks like he fell off the wagon
......he's just nothing without out his KISS roots
He owns it..Something he helped build….. why not play the old songs he help wrote and likes?
He’s drunk 😊
If he's not he. Should be
Shows how little you know!
Hes not wasted He just SUCKS
That’s your job!
@@GNewcomb-q9vLOL🤣🤣🤣🤣 sooo funny!!!
He can play but he doesn’t sing well.
He never sang well.
He sounds amazing to me.
He never could. He's an adequate guitarist at best.
@StreetTruckinTitan that's being VERY GENEROUS he's a 5th rate hack I've seen better guitar players In teenage garage and cover bar bands
Why do you think it took until Love Gun before he sang? He has always said he’s not a singer & never liked his singing voice!
