I grew up with KISS from the beginning the records, the shirts, the lunchboxes. We had so many posters in our rooms we couldn't see the walls. KISS was Me and my brother's childhood. And Friday night was my FIRST concert EVER.I waited 48years to see KISS and it was the BEST night of our lives. When they started the first song of the concert I latterly cried. It is the end of an era and the end to the past growing up. Another chapter from the 70,s is now part of history. My brother and I saw the beginning of KISS and after waiting 48 years we saw the end. But they will ALWAYS be a part of my life growing up. KISS ARMY..........
This is what it's all about....I'm a kid from the 70s too and nothing quite beats a Kiss show and I'm so happy you guys got to experience it in person!!!! I loved the heartwarming post and yes I cried too...both at my last concert Oct 29th 2023 and watching the ppv. Kiss is always going to be a big part of us that love them as much as we do!!! Beautiful words you wrote!
Nice. I had the same obsession with them as a kid in the 70’s. My first show was DYNASTY in 79’ and UNMASKED in 84’ I bet they pulled out all the stops at this show.it’s awesome you had the chance to see their Final Show.
Let me make sure I understand. You grew up on Kiss (so did I). You were one of those fans that was with them from the very beginning. So was I if I can cheat a few months) and call Hotter than Hell the very beginning. :) (FWIW, I bought the debut Kiss album a few months after I bought HTH.) . You covered every square inch of your walls with Kiss posters and photos from Circus, Hit Parader, and Metal Edge (I had a Kiss poster on my bedroom door and closet door.). You bought all the records, shirts, lunchboxes, Kiss dolls, and probably a Kiss coffin. (Although I wasn't into the merchandise (other than a Kiss Alive & RnRO T-shirts), I bought & still have, 8 Kiss LP's: Kiss (debut), HTH, DTK, Alive I, Destroyer, RnRO (the last of the TRULY GREAT Kiss albums), LG, & Alive II). You wrote, 'I waited 48years to see KISS and it was the BEST night of our lives." OK!!! I HAVE ONLY 1 QUESTION FOR YOU! IF YOU GREW UP ON KISS, TOTALLY ADORED KISS AND HAVE CONTINUED TO ADORE THEM FOR 48 FRICKEN' YEARS PLUS, WHY DID IT TAKE YOU 48 YEARS TO SEE THEM!!! C'mon! I was only a Kiss fan for 3.5 years and I saw them twice and this was a couple of years before I had a driver's license. Furthermore, I lived in rural KY and had to travel 2.5 hs to see them! (I'm sure others had seen them 10, 20, or even 30 times by 1977, which was the last time I saw them.) Unfortunately, I didn't care much for their music after Love Gun, which I thought was a very mediocre Kiss album and the beginning of the end of the original band. My 3 favorite Kiss albums are: #3 Kiss (debut), #2 Alive I, and #1 Rock n' Roll Over. Nevertheless, their first 8 albums were remarkable albums especially when you consider the fact that they released their first album (Kiss) on Feb 18, 1974 and their 8th album (Alive II) on Oct 22, 1977. 8 Albums in 3.5 years!!!! Those were the days! These 8 albums had a huge influence on so many hard rock/metal (and even country music) musicians of the 1980's and 1990's and continue to influence musicians today. Rock n' Roll Over remains my favorite Kiss album (especially the songs that Paul wrote). The early Kiss albums helped define the beginning of a hard rock era that would dominate rock n' roll for the next 15+ years!
...BUT no thank yous and also not any word for and to the good souls of the Kiss Crew. I think they had deserve it to come out and beeing on stage , because with out them, Kiss would be nothing! Everytime when I'm on stage, before we do the encores, I bring my crew on stage and doing thank yous in front of the stage. Greetings from Germany
@@Chicagoathletics, I remember goofball gene talking shit on the Stones. I remember him running his mouth off about the end of the road tour like 20 yrs ago. And they came back. They are addicted to the money at this point!
The first time they played Indy they opened for BOC along with Mick Jagger's brother Chris and The James Gang with Tommy Bolin. I bought the first album on the cover alone the day it came out so I was singing along with Gene as I stood 5 feet in front of him on the retainer. They do their set, the lights come up, nobody says anything for about a minute, finally somebody yells "WTF was that!?" I yell "that was KISS!" What a long strange trip its been!
Last night at the garden Paul could of took one minute out to say I would like to thank Bill Aucoin ,Sean Delaney and Neil Bogart for being there from the very beginning without them we might not even be here today. Thank you to our kiss family members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley who helped create this legacy we built together that will last lifetimes. and much thanks to Eric Carr who helped us when we were down And ,vinnie Vincent,mark St. John ,Bruce Kulick and for over two decades Eric singer and Tommy Thayer who helped to keep this entity kiss going! and especially to all the kiss army around the world,that stuck by us through think and thin and share this victory together w us ,you are the ones that really made it happen,our dreams were never too big w the kiss army ! Kiss will live in one way or another forever, shout it out loud and be proud! How hard would that have been ? They had plenty of time to prepare that and it would of ended them w class and a show of appreciation.
Couldn't be said better really 🥂 Everyone wanted to hear that. I think at some point they said they were showing imagery of past members, not sure if they did. Also not sure if Eric Carr's likeness can legally be used based on past litigation with his estate. Guarantee Bruce would have jammed a song with them, maybe someday we'll get the answers. What we did get was Gene acting like he was grabbing Paul's crotch at the final bow.
I know they can't play every song but damn, NO STRUTTER!!?? It's always been a staple of a KISS concert . The very first song of the very first album should've been on the list. Great show as always though. They will be missed
Hasn’t been a staple for years. They barely played it after 1976. They did it again in 1988 and 1992 and about a third of the reunion tour. Oh and the alive35 tour. They usually didn’t play it.
Gene and Paul should definitely be proud for all they accomplished ,making their dreams come true and being there for there fans for so long,I just wish they didn’t just Jump the shark but killed the shark so hard collectively.
The whole final 50 were sold out including these last two. I don't care what stub hub said there wasn't any section that had empty seats anywhere there. Not one to be found.
@@JamesK-i9e you don't have to be an aashole either....these dates have been sold out. I know because Hollywood Bowl ahow had it on the sign and were turning people away at box office. The show in Austin the box office was closed with sold out in window of box office. Seems out the official Madison Square Garden digital signs said sold out. Maybe take it from folks at the shows, seeing the actual signs, and not seeing a single open seat with their own eyes before YOU believe everything you read and see on a non direct ticket dealer. I guarantee you the tickets were sold for those shows but you're the type that believes what you want . Nevertheless I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!
been a KISS fan since i was a kid in the early 80’s so i missed their glory years but i did get to see the original lineup in ‘96 and i will forever be a KISS Army member. that being said: enough is enough, its been well past time that they hang it up and good riddance 👋🏼
I did not Order the kiss pay per view final show, If Ace and Peter would have been there. Then I would have ordered it. But I wasn't going to waste $40 to see half a kiss. I've seen them 10 times in concert, so that's enough. And the last one i've seen was the original members, The reunion tour and the farewell tour. That's when kiss was kiss.
Thank you for posting, did Paul or Gene talk a bit about the last show? Did they say anything different to what was normally said in previous shows? Thank you.
They were interviewed during the week leading up to the last 2 NYC shows. I saw it on the Pay-Per-View event that they created. Probably were interviewed by several other media and news outlets in that week also. I'm sure those interviews can possibly be found somewhere online.
Reading all the "fans" complaining about the setlist is like listening to a kid at the circus complaining that they have to watch the tigers and acrobats again. Shut up and enjoy the show, kid.
No KISS magic without the Spaceman and the Catman. Sorry. It is what it is. Gene was a real dickhead for saying Ace and Peter "weren't employable". Listen, Gene. Ace and Peter were the magicians, and you two were the mechanics. That's simply all there is to it. Without them, no Shout It Out Loud, no Hard Luck Woman, no I Was Made For Lovin' You, and (take this both ways) no Great Expectations.
However, here you both are, commenting on a video about KISS and the bands last ever live performance after 50 years. And it was Gene and Paul that went through the ENTIRE 50 years, when others were too high, too drunk &/or too selfish to continue to be part of a PROFESSIONAL band. Any fool can create magic. Whilst they blame booze, drugs and everyone but themself for why they were not considered professional enough to be a part of a legitimately professional band. It takes a genius to create magic and maintain that level of success for 5 decades. Gene and Paul certainly added their own magic to the dynamic, for the loyal fans. They wouldn't have lasted 50 yrs, and this video wouldn't be here for you to spew venom on, if it weren't for Paul and Gene, as well as Tommy and Eric. PURE AND SIMPLE, BOTTOM LINE. Hate on them all you like. Childishly label them a "half band". But that half band kicked butt for 50 years and has a legacy that will last a lot longer than you and I will be alive for.
@@mebeme007 They kicked butt from 1975 or so until 1978 or so. I remember it well, I was around then. After 1978 things started to get less good progressively. Sometime between 1978 and 1980, the Ramones dethroned their asses as Kings of New York. Kiss had another good little run around when Animalize came out, and that was pretty much it. Crazy Nights was an affront to God and man. I saw them on that tour. I was actually there to see Ted Nugent, who opened. It was his last tour with his original band, before the Damn Yankees.
@@mebeme007 I totally agree with you and the haters will always hate, yet I find it hilarious they keep touring KISS videos on RUclips to spread their hatred, like their opinion matters lol. They likely hate their own life, so they feel the need to bring others down by raining on their parade, as misery loves company. People still crying about Ace and Peter who had the world by the balls, but threw it away themselves. Ace at least has done okay on his own and his new song rocks, but he can't play arenas or larger venues and Peter never accomplished much on his own, so they were their own worst enemy. Tommy and Eric were the consummate professionals and were class acts the entire time and had Ace and Peter appreciated what they had a little more, then things might have been different. As far as money goes, Paul and Gene definitely deserved more than Ace and Peter, because they were the driving force and glue that kept KISS alive for 50 years, where as Ace and Peter messed up, quit or got fired on different occasions, so they can cry about money all they want. Ace couldn't even show up in the studio at times, as his partying and attitude likely affected Gene and Paul more than any of us fans could realize or understand and I wouldn't even want to work with guys like that on my own job lol. Had we depended on Ace and Peter to lead KISS, KISS would have ended long before they even got big, so thank you Gene and Paul, as KISS IS IMMORTAL AND FOREVER !!!!
Wish they had a video tribute of ALL the KISS members. It could've been shown on the big screen while they played Strutter. Oh wait, they didn't play Strutter either.
Im not even a big kiss fan but they should have somehow included the other two original members, they could well afford to pay them a couple of hundred grand each and try to respect all of their fan base. And bring out bruce kulick aswell.
I thought this was cool, but when I saw Paul throw the last drum stick on the ground 0:48 instead of to a fan, it was kind of a dick moment. He knows how much a fan would have cherished that drum stick on that night.
Chances are that stick needed to go with the tom drum that Eric sold. He was selling 1 of his tom drums used every night on every tour date (part of a vip meet and greet thing) and they included used drumsticks. From the looks of it Eric was about to give away the last drumstick and Paul yanked him before he made that mistake
At least we don't have to put up with Paul lip syncing anymore and Gene stretching the seams of his costume to the limit anymore. They stayed around 14 years longer than they should have. Paul's voice has been gone since Sonic Boom.
Here's the reason why that's not a real kiss show and that's not the final bow of a real kiss show because Ace and Peter aren't there and I don't care what anybody says that's a fact they can make excuses they can you know he said she said all over the place without the original four members it's not really "KISS"
I grew up with KISS from the beginning the records, the shirts, the lunchboxes. We had so many posters in our rooms we couldn't see the walls. KISS was Me and my brother's childhood. And Friday night was my FIRST concert EVER.I waited 48years to see KISS and it was the BEST night of our lives. When they started the first song of the concert I latterly cried.

I love how Paul doesn't throw the drum stick to the audience but in the pit in the back of the platform. "Don't give this away, we can sell it!"
I saw that
Fkd up lol
Give it up dude , seriously
Not true. His daughter wanted to have the drumstick.
KISS will live on forever!!!!
Thanks Paul and Gene ❤❤
I was sitting in the front row. KISS will still be my favorite band of all time
🤔
Damn you're millionaire
We’ve seen this before. Hey KISS see you guys in like 5 years. If it takes that long.
That must be awesome!
@@Chicagoathletics, I remember goofball gene talking shit on the Stones. I remember him running his mouth off about the end of the road tour like 20 yrs ago. And they came back. They are addicted to the money

It’s a shame it’s always the same stage show, the same setlist, moves and speech. All of us needed much more than just one more regular show 😢

I was at that show last nite absolutely awesome
I love how they gave the most energy possible at every single show for 50 solid years. That’s friggin wild.

Kudos to the backing track computer for putting in a lot of work on this tour.
And people STILL bought tickets. Imagine that.
Did you post on just to feel better about yourself taking a cheap shot Hartley? *golf clap*
It was out of order for A couple of days it had the flu virus.
😂
Thank you gene and Paul for These wonderful group
What a Show
The best band in the world

That is really so great
Thanks on gene paul thomny Eric ❤❤❤❤
No offense but, it's about damn time. We've been hearing "last tour" "last show" "last bow" for nearly 10 years now.
Thats really great
awesome - kiss 4 everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The final bow....at least until the next farewell tour
Eric says, "thank god it's over. Now I don't have to pretend to play that piano anymore!!!"
Thats so great that icry

I Wish them for the Future all the best with their Family from my Heart ❤❤❤❤
It is so emotional and sad
Absolute legends

Can't wait for the 2027 "New Era Tour" or the final "Farewell Tour".
It was so wonderful ❤❤❤❤
Ich bin sehr traurig dass ihr nicht mehr auftretet
All those days of misspent youth, listening to the wireless and playing kiss's latest 78 on the victrola
Take care and god bless my old friends.
Never say "final" with Kiss
They be on a kiss cruise or convention next year.
Or bloody avatars, doesn't their greed ever stop ?
@@thefinisher2010No because for some reason Gene Simmons believes he can pull a uhaul behind his coffin when he is dead.
You can tell Paul.was crying
Actually, I think he was doing his best to hold back the tears.
They all were, really.
Thank you for posting, did Paul or Gene talk a bit about the last show? Did they say anything different to what was normally said in previous shows? Thank you.

All the best for you Paul and you r and Gene s Family too❤❤
Feeling the love there

Reading all the "fans" complaining about the setlist is like listening to a kid at the circus complaining that they have to watch the tigers and acrobats again. Shut up and enjoy the show, kid.
I hear you but for the last show I was at least looking for some songs they haven't sing in years I stole your love I want you I still love you etc...
You’re right. It BECAME a circus and not a rock show. The music isn’t as important as the show is. It’s a pyro display set to kiss music.
We're really gonna miss half of Kiss, what a great half band they were.

Wish they had a video tribute of ALL the KISS members. It could've been shown on the big screen while they played Strutter.
Oh wait, they didn't play Strutter either.
At the very end a red Kiss sign on the screen played as folks were leaving with all the various lineups in the Kiss letters.
I ❤ KISS
Im not even a big kiss fan but they should have somehow included the other two original members, they could well afford to pay them a couple of hundred grand each and try to respect all of their fan base. And bring out bruce kulick aswell.
Give it 6 months.....the road will extend.
What a great Show ❤❤❤❤
It is so sad❤
No Ace and Peter at the last show huh?
They have the best wigs
Their friend ship have been grow and IS now so big ❤❤
And fantastic guys❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful friendship between Gene and Paul
Legend forever KISS

Sie können stolz auf sich sein, was sie bis heute geleistet haben.
Ja, das stimmt, aber meiner Meinung nach ist es an der Zeit, die legendären Shows zur Legende werden zu lassen.
They'll be touring next year. Bet me
They will do cruises at least, and possibly a Vegas residency.
They could've at least switched out Do you Love me for Strutter
They Trust you eachother and stay forever togerher ❤❤
At least we don't have to put up with Paul lip syncing anymore and Gene stretching the seams of his costume to the limit anymore.
They stayed around 14 years longer than they should have. Paul's voice has been gone since Sonic Boom.
They had to play the same set list, it was too late in the game to change the backing tracks. Hehe
Its really fantastic
I m sad that now begann the time without Kiss
Thanks Mike.
I’ve hear this two or three times now.
And what a fantastic group
I doubt that they are retiring.
Paul sounds like Audry Hepburn when he talks.
R.I.P.
KISS
1974-2001
Here's the reason why that's not a real kiss show and that's not the final bow of a real kiss show because Ace and Peter aren't there and I don't care what anybody says that's a fact they can make excuses they can you know he said she said all over the place without the original four members it's not really "KISS"
God bless you every day and stay on you r side
Its a shame they couldn't have more professional and have Peter and Ace for the final tour
The greatest show in the world
Just kudding its a farewell to this setlust we will the final setlist for the end of the road for real tour
I am growing up with kiss
Amazing❤💕🎶🎸🤘
I almost believe them this time.
Kiss reunion concert coming to a theater near you in 2025 🙄
