So October 10th 2015 marked the day Kiss performed for their 40th Anniversary Tour at Allphones Arena in Sydney Olympic Park, Australia. The difficulty to contain the sheer awesomeness experienced is almost impossible.
I have never seen a bigger show that is so true to the glam rock performance style. For many people in the audience it was their first time seeing Kiss and for my own sister it was her first rock concert. Regardless of whether you enjoy rock music or not it is a life experience to go to at least one rock concert in your life.
Going through their big hits and some of their classics they performed rather flawlessly. Granted Paul Stanley was probably feeling ill he managed to bring it together as the Starchild should. The tech crew dealt a few mistakes in the beginning but I will also grant that there was so much to focus on with suspension wires, fireworks, pyrotechnics, and such but you would expect the sound to be the main priority.
Don’t misunderstand me, I loved the performance, truly the greatest rock concert in the world that anyone could go to. With a fully equipped moving spider-stage with a raising platform. Gene Simmons flew up to it after a super fuzzed bass solo and blood drool before breaking into a thick intro to God of Thunder. Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer performed as a true Catman and Spaceman would delivering the tunes to their high-octane performance. They skilfully brought us through every song and solo from Deuce to Black Diamond with the truest passion of rock.
Guesting with Kiss were Aussie rock group; The Dead Daisies. Their usual guitarist was unavailable to perform so the band requested their friend Dave Leslie from Baby Animals to fill in, and did he deliver. To learn the songs of another band and solo perfectly in every song, it was a most impressive performance.
Overall, if you’ve never seen a Kiss concert you have not experienced a true rock performance. True rock legends who never lost what they still have.
