Kiss blasted through Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre on Sunday night during the second leg of their final tour, aptly named End of the Road. The iconic glam metal rockers wowed the 15,000-plus Kiss Army fans with a two-hour thunderous, larger-than-life concert.
Having sold more than 100 million albums worldwide during their 46-year career, the legendary rockers gave their all, kicking off the night by descending onto the stage from above while playing “Detroit Rock City” as flames and sparks ignited. They then lunged into “Shout It Out Loud,” with fans singing in unison.
Paul Stanley bantered with the crowd, saying, “It seems like yesterday we played the kite festival in Forest Park in ’74.” The band continued with shout-outs to St. Louis throughout the night. From Stanley breaking his guitar to Gene Simmons breathing fire on “War Machine” and spitting “blood” during “God of Thunder,” as well as Stanley’s more intimate moments on a small stage in the midst of the crowd during “Love Gun” and “I Was Made for Lovin’ You,” the band kept the crowd going. Finally, KISS ended with the encore song “Rock and Roll All Nite.”

Opening for KISS was performance painter David Garibaldi. He mesmerized the crowd by creating portraits of Alice Cooper, Eddie Van Halen, and KISS members Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer, with the Gateway Arch in the background. Audience members were able to donate to the Make-a-Wish Foundation for a chance to win the art.
