Incredibly, KISS may very well be bigger and better than ever. Laying down the blue-print for bombastic, over the top rock spectacles back in the 1970's (and thereby making it nearly impossible for any band before or since to even approximate the level of sensory overload and back-for-your-buck a KISS show delivers), the guys made good on their threat to up the ante. As they detailed when they appeared on my show leading up to Friday night at the United Center, they somehow managed to squeeze more lights, more pyro, bigger video screens, better sound and more tricks into their by now already classic, jaw-dropping onslaught. With a stunning new hit record "Sonic Boom" in the charts, it was like the Fourth Of July, Halloween and a deranged Ringling Brothers Circus colliding... on "11." An all-encompassing triumph.

Despite the fact that Chicago has far more legitimate claims as the birthplace of rock 'n roll than New York, that is where the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame organizers have seen fit to hold most of their ceremonies and concerts over the last 25 years. This past weekend was no exception. That aside, it was again a once-in-a-lifetime type of musical event. Marking the 25th anniversary of the Hall, the concert featured numerous unlikely to be repeated pairings. Where else could you catch Ozzy Osbourne and Ray Davies of the Kinks fronting Metallica? Or Mick Jagger jamming with U2?

The legacies of the Loop, the city of Chicago and it's legendary music scene converged in a historic celebration Friday night at the House Of Blues. As soon as I took the stage to greet the sold-out crowd of Loyal Loopers and introduce UFO on stage, I sensed that we were in for a special night. The electricity in the room was palpable. One of Chicago's favorite bands UFO were back in town and unbeknownst to the crowd, the members of Metallica had quietly snuck in to catch the performance as well. Long time UFO fanatics, they were just as excited to be there as the rest of the audience. Backstage just prior, UFO drummer Andy Parker emerged from the restroom beaming. He had on the classic black Loop t-shirt he had asked me for last year. He became increasingly animated as he told me how big a fan he ...
