KISS

In 2001, KISS was in the throes of their iconic 'Farewell Tour,' a bittersweet endeavor marking the end of an era for the band. Just before this live recording in Nagoya, they had released 'Psycho Circus' in 1998, an album that was both a celebration of their reunion and a return to form, showcasing classic KISS elements infused with a fresh twist. Interestingly, 'Psycho Circus' was the first studio album featuring the original lineup in over two decades. This live performance, featuring tracks like 'Deuce,' serves as a testament to their enduring energy and connection with fans, despite the impending farewell. It's remarkable to think this metal behemoth was saying goodbye while still delivering electrifying performances, encapsulating a hard rock legacy that would both resonate and linger long after. What did they leave us with? A sound that still sparks excitement and nostalgia today.
