The four-headed monster returned for its twelfth show in Argentina to extend the “End of the Road” tour, as they did last year, with which they have been saying goodbye after 50 years of much rock and roll.
On this occasion the band will lead by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer y Eric Singer headlined the czech festival Master of Rock where they also played Scorpions, Deep Purple, Helloween, Avantasia y Horcas on the property of the former city park on Friday, April 28.
At 10:00 p.m. punctually, they began to show the route of the KISS towards the stage through the screens that minutes later would light up and the 35,000 people present would cheer as they saw the rockstars descend from the aerial platforms, which, accompanied by fireworks and pyrotechnics, presented the band with their hit “Detroit City.”
The set list would be exact to the one they did in April of last year, except for the change of “Tears are Falling” which they replaced with “Makin Love”, and there was no shortage of the classics that “los kisseros” sang throughout the night.
The band that for a long time has been more than just Rock and Roll, since their shows are usually some of the funniest on the rock scene with their great staging, their impressive costumes and all the gadgets that the boys use to entertain and have fun. among them. This time it was not a novelty for the most faithful, since they exactly repeated the show they did a year ago with the tour with which they are saying goodbye.
But as our queen mother Mirtha Legrand quotes “the audience is renewed” and the performances would once again deliver the best they have while in each presentation they take their time to shine individually and together.
This is how we see Simmons bathe in blood and spit as his alter ego represents in “I Love it Loud” or lead guitarist Tommy Thayer shoot the stage with his guitar to save us from the alien invasion that is harassing us, or the moment romantic night when Eric Singer interprets “Beth” giving rest to the public that will turn on their cell phones to accompany the ballad.
Of course we cannot forget the great showman Paul Stanley who, always in constant dialogue with the people, and asking for forgiveness a thousand times, will say, over and over again, how much he loves the Argentine public because of his precarious Spanish and will play with them to integrate them into the show. millimetrically thought out and for which, as the show closes, it will fly from one end of the stage called “B” located on the control tower to greet everyone and play “Love Gun” and “I Wan Made for Loving You”.
However, “Lick it Up”, “God of Thunder”, “Calling Dr Love” sounded strong and ignited the multigenerational pack that ranged from children with their painted faces to adults of all ages that the Kiss knew how to charm throughout these 50 years of career.
“Buenos Aires, I know that this is the twelfth time we have played in this country”Stanley began by saying that he was playing with the numbers in Spanish and then announced what was so feared by the audience that he encouraged to become animals and make them take theirs out from the inside as an introduction to “Psycho Circus” after saying that this was the last time they would visit the country.
Later there would be a release of white balloons with the band’s logo to “dress” the skies with “Do you Love Me”, and to close the classic “Rock and Roll all Night” with which they would burn the last cartridges, and They would dress the field with colored pieces of paper that showered the audience, which once again said goodbye to the thunderous, glamorous band.
