Concert review- Ace Frehley - Celebrate Erie Festival - Erie, PA - August 18, 2012‏

Review by John Jeffrey, photos by Thomas S. Orwat, Jr.

Erie, PA - The last time I had seen Ace Frehley in concert was last year, at the Erie County Fair. This year, the closest concert that was booked to the WNY area was in Erie, PA. Is there something eerie about 'Erie?' As Ace would say, "I dunno?" Regardless of whether or not the Spaceman's celestial undertones influenced his tour routing, seeing Ace Frehley in concert is always a good thing. A great thing is seeing Ace headline the Celebrate Erie festival, playing in front of an estimated crowd of 40,000 people, closing out the 3rd night of the 4 day festival. While Ace has often been described (and even self-described) as being 'lazy' at times, he's worked long and hard to keep his name in the public eye, and after fighting the critics, the nay sayers, and even his former band members for almost 40 years, Ace truly deserves all of the kudos and accolades that come his way.
