Concert review: KISS makes 'End of the Road' OKC tour stop an explosive thrill ride
The illustrious showmen of KISS made sure the “End of the Road” was a nonstop thrill ride Tuesday night during the Oklahoma City stop on their final tour.
The multigenerational KISS Army – boasting followers ranging from graybeards to grade-schoolers and everyone in between, including more than few face-painted fanatics – packed Chesapeake Energy Arena for a two-hour farewell that put the “extra” in extravaganza.
As the black curtain draping the massive stage dramatically fell away, the quartet was revealed in all its rock god glory, from the signature stage makeup down to the flashy platform boots, and began blasting through “Detroit Rock City.”
The familiar booming introduction of "You wanted the best, you got the best — the hottest band in the world: KISS!” immediately proved a literal truth, as the first of countless plumes of pyrotechnics blazed forth from the silvery pyramid behind the drum riser.
“How cool is this? How awesome is this?” screeched singer/rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley. “This is the ‘End of the Road Tour,’ but we’ve been coming here since we came to the Civic Center Music Hall in 1976.”
