28, 1978 at New Haven (Conn.) Coliseum w/The Rocketsĭec. That’s how I am going to try and remember the hottest band in the world, because the end of the road just doesn’t sound as good. The reunion tour, the 3-D show in LA, and the first farewell tour when Kiss was hitting on all cylinders. The ones by Paul didn’t hold up, including “Love Gun,” and “Psycho Circus.” I can only hope that Paul was feeling off – maybe a cold or flu – because he sounded much, much better in 20.Īnd, of course, I have my memories of that first concert back in 1978 or sitting in the third row in 1985. I assumed they would play those songs well. With a 200-plus song catalog, they were going to miss some of my favorites and I told myself I would accept whatever the band played. Yes, Kiss played more songs from “Sonic Boom” than it did from “Rock and Roll Over” on its final tour. “Say Yeah” was next and probably the biggest surprise (unless you looked at the previous night’s setlist like I did). Had I purchased an $11 beer, I’d have gagged at that point. But then again, when Paul asked how many people were seeing Kiss for the first time, most of the arena went bonkers and told them they were in for a treat. There were no real surprises as for new gimmicks. Tommy Thayer didn’t wow, but he did his thing but didn’t get to sing an Ace song like he’d done at previous shows I’ve attended. Eric Singer’s drum solo was pretty good (I’m not a drum solo or any solo fan – I’d rather hear another song or two). I’m glad I stayed as the sound improved, even though Paul did not. Did I really want my last time seeing my favorite band of all time to be this? I talked myself out of it, mainly because I flew from Boise to Seattle, navigated the bus system to Tacoma and hiked up and down a monster hill from my AirBNB to get to the show. I’m told the Tacoma Dome isn’t known for acoustics, but “Shout It Out Loud” and “Deuce” sounded like they were performed in a tin can. It also took at least three songs for the sound crew to dial in the sound. And on the third show of their final, final tour, Paul botched the opener, and then every other song he sang. What? How does this happen? According to setlist.fm., Kiss had performed Detroit Rock City 2,021 times prior to taking the stage that night. Instead of “I feel uptight on a Saturday night,” Paul chimes in a half a verse late and he only got out “radio’s the only light” and it was rushed and my jaw dropped in disbelief. The first song, my favorite song of all-time. ![]() ![]() And it was evident right away.ĭetroit Rock City. My dissatisfaction stems entirely from Paul Stanley not being able to sing like Paul Stanley. This isn’t about the setlist or the lack of two original members. I can’t say that about what I witnessed last weekend. Kiss is my favorite band, and the previous 10 times I’d seen them (list below), the band (whether it was Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, Eric Carr, Eric Singer, Bruce Kulick or Tommy Thayer), delivered a very good or great show. My decision to attend Kiss’ “End of the Road” tour on February 2 in Tacoma, Washington, was a mistake.

Now let me share more about each platform, starting with Chromium, the unambiguous leader in single cell analysis. All this so we can maximize and deliver on the incredible opportunity we have ahead. We're continuing to push our innovation engine with new capabilities in all 3 platforms, and we are working to improve scale, efficiency and operational excellence throughout the company. We are coming off the biggest and the most exciting year of product launches in our history, and our team is fully focused on driving adoption and ensuring customer success. Regionally, the Americas and EMEA teams saw improvement after a slowdown in the prior year period, while APAC came in to lower our expectations.Īs we look to the year ahead, it's all about execution and impact. These results reflect the momentum we're seeing across our spatial portfolio fueled by the recent launches in both Visium and Xenium and the strength in Chromium consumables. Then I'll turn the call over to Justin for a more detailed look at our financials, business trends and outlook for the rest of the year.Ģ023 is off to a solid start with first quarter revenue growing 17% year-over-year to $134 million. ![]() And I'll share why based on early yet overwhelmingly positive feedback we hear from our customers, we firmly believe Xenium is the best system for in situ analysis.

On the other hand, the subjects that performed neck extension work increased neck extension strength by a whopping 34 percent over the 12-week study. The resistance-training group that did not train neck extensions did not increase neck strength. A second resistance-training group performed the same strength training movements in addition to neck extensions with a harness three times a week. The first group was a resistance-training group that trained performing squats, deadlifts, push presses, high pulls, and barbell rows. ![]() The European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology confirmed this in a flagship study published in 1997 entitled “ Specificity of Resistance Training Responses in Neck Muscle Size and Strength.” The study consisted of three groups. The average-but-serious strength trainer has a more developed neck than the run-of-the-mill public pencil neck, but to truly maximize neck strength and size, you have to directly train the neck. Performing just a few big lifts per workout will equate to gains all over, to an extent. You likely already know that compound movements–exercises requiring movement at more than one joint–provide the most bang for your buck and stimulate all-over muscle growth, fat loss, secretion of anabolic hormones, and functional performance benefits. ![]() So go ahead and gather your turtlenecks and toss them into a donation box. Flexion, lateral flexion, extension, and rotation, folks–these should make it into your weekly training routine. By understanding a bit more about the functions of the neck and how it pertains to the rest of your training goals, you can put yourself in a better position to improve these important muscles. Yet, very few ever take the time out to address the neck with specific training. Unless you’re living in the polar vortex with a wardrobe of thick turtlenecks, there is no running, no hiding–your neck is exposed.Ī well-developed neck is synonymous with power and commands respect. But a neck like a stack of dimes? Forget about it. Baggy shirts cover up Beiber-like arm development and sweats camouflage your string of forgotten leg days. For the person who is less dedicated, it may matter even more. For the dedicated strength trainer, clothes matter. ![]() ![]() ![]() New support for Apple Metal API and DirectX 11, 10 and 9 on Metal are included in Parallels Desktop 15 to deliver best-in-class graphics performance.
