I was lucky as heck to be invited to see KISS perform their last show of their End Of The Road tour at Madison Square Garden. The KISS Army were out in full force on the streets of NYC!

The Drive

Heading under the George Washington Bridge on our way down:

You know I had to take a snap of these huge residences on Riverside Boulevard. We were headed down the Joe DiMaggio Highway section of route 9A on the Upper West Side.

From left to right: The Rushmore (2006), 80 Riverside Blvd, The Aldyn (2008), 60 Riverside Blvd, One Riverside Park (2015), 50 Riverside Blvd, Two Waterline Square (2019), 30 Riverside Blvd, and One Waterline Square (2020), 10 Riverside Blvd.

The Garden

The energy outside Madison Square Garden was so alive! A FOX camera was outside interviewing folks. Look at the dude in the silver car behind him!

We wandered around and somehow got inside in front of the lines! It was only for those with a VIP ticket (not us), so we had to walk outside again…but what a great vantage point for a photo!

Inside the Arena

The opening act was Amber Wild, featuring Paul Stanley’s son Evan. The band just got together in 2023. but sounded pretty tight.

This last show was being recorded for Pay-Per-View. They interviewed folks in the little stage area on the floor.

The Best!!

KISS – A New Era Begins

According to Loudersound.com, Kiss have collaborated with Industrial Light & Magic and Pophouse to produce four avatars that will continue to rock. It will be interesting to see what they come up with!

I am everlastingly grateful to MachineryDan for inviting me to the show. I felt honored to be present at their last live show. They definitely made it clear how grateful to their fans they were, and how glad they were to be back home in New York City.
