KISS A New Era Begins!
This raised an eyebrow with us, but there's also not much information about the reality of what it may entail as an experience. We may change our minds...
KISS Live In New York - The Last Show Ever!!!
The expectations among fans where high tonight for KISS Live In New York - The Last Show Ever!
At 8:45 PM we heard the famous announcement: You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best, The Hottest Band In The World: KISS!
As soon as the curtain came down, Gene, Paul & Tommy came down to the stage on their platforms surrounded with a lot of pyro, bombs and smoke, with Eric behind his drumkit coming down behind them!
The band acted very loose on stage and had fun with eachother. Paul refured to the first time they played in the MSG in 1977 with his parents sitting on the left side and Gene's mother on the right side.
Of course all the well-known show highlights passed by, Tommy shooting off rockets during his guitar solo and letting some ufo pods exploding, Eric’s drum solo, with towel and his drumkit rising up. Gene spitting fire and his bloody bass solo, followed by his flight to the platform high above the stage during God Of Thunder and Paul flew over the crowd to the little stage at the back of the venue to perform Love Gun.
Several times Gene & Paul hughed and pointed to eachother. During the show Paul thanked the KISS Army for celebrate this milestone together with them!
The show ended with of course Rock And Roll All Night with lots of confetti, garlands, bombs, pyro and smoke. This time Gene, Paul & Tommy going up on risers at the middle of the stage, Eric going up on his drum riser and of course, the ultimate frontman, Paul smashing his guitar!
Then it was over, with a lot of smoke on the stage a annoucement was seen:
As I said before, the expectations among fans where high for this last show ever...
But there were no suprises at all, no ex-members and it was the same live show and setlist as in Europe last summer. This was the setlist:
Detroit Rock City, Shout It Out Loud, Deuce, Warmachine (Gene breathes fire) Heaven's On Fire, I Love It Loud, Say Yeah, Cold Gin (with Tommy's guitar solo) Lick It Up, Calling Dr. Love, Makin' Love, Psycho Circus (with Eric's drum solo) God Of Thunder (with Gene's bass solo & flying to the platform above the stage) Love Gun (Paul flying to stage) I Was Made For Lovin' You & Black Diamond. Encore: Beth (Eric on piano) Do You Love Me & Rock and Roll All Night.
After 44 years and 37 years of obsessed KISS fandom respectively for myself and Marina and after 75 and 54 live performances under our belts, KISS Kruises and a lot of personal meetings and interactions with band members over those decades it all came to this epic finale!
We want to thank Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, Eric Carr, Bruce Kulick, Tommy Thayer & Eric Singer for 50 years of rock & roll!
All the awesome, fantastic & fun times we had, all the emotions we experienced, all the excitement we had everytime we saw a show all over the world!
Thank you KISS, it was a extravanganza, heartbreaking and unforgettable journey!!!
