KISS Plays Last Show In New York City And A NEW ERA BEGINS

KISS Plays Last Show In New York City And A NEW ERA BEGINS

After 50 long years, KISS returned to their home city and put on one last show for their fans.  

And what a show it was. The band played for almost four hours and didn't disappoint, playing such classics as 'Detroit Rock City,' 'Lick It Up' and 'Love Gun' plus so many others. It was a night everyone that was there will never forget.

Before the final curtain call, the band made the announcement that although they were retiring, a virtual KISS will continue their legacy.

Paul Stanley said at the show:

"This is the end of the road. It seems sad, but tonight's a night for joy. Tonight's a night to celebrate what we did together."

Following their final performance of "Rock and Roll All Nite,' the band made their dramatic and firey exit however the night was not yet done. "God Gave Rock n' Roll to You" began and virtual images of the band appeared using the magic of lasers, LED screen projection and pyrotechnics. The images of the band themselves appeared 3D in front of a screen backdrop stating "A New Era Begins."
