Last night (Saturday, June 27th) rock legends KISS performed at the Marcus Amphitheater at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI. An excerpt from a review of the show by Bob Purvis follows:
When it comes to covering up your age, makeup goes a long way. Celebrating more than 35 years of painting their faces and blowing stuff up, Kiss, the undisputed monsters of arena rock, proved Saturday night at the Marcus Amphitheater that they've got plenty more rock left in their lycra-and-leather tanks.
With a new album on the horizon, the rockers opted instead to dig deep into their catalog, tearing through a blistering set of tunes mostly plucked from their first three albums.
Descending to the stage amid a series of fiery blasts on a metal platform spewing smoke - and with an image of bassist-turned-reality-TV-star Gene Simmons' serpentine tongue flicker splashed across towering video screens behind them - the band ripped right into the thunderous hit 'Deuce' off their eponymous 1974 debut.
