So that's it, after starting in 2019 the End Of The Road tour has literally come to the end. We weren't able to make the trip to NYC but being able to attend virtually via PPV was fantastic. The show itself was exactly the same set list as the other shows, but as usual a fantastic performance of classics, fire breathing, blood-spitting & a huge amount of pyrotechnics to literally go out with a bang. 

Right from but at the very start we were told there would be a "surprise" at the end. We can't have been the only people wishing for some kind of special guest for the last Rock & Roll All Nite, I knew it was unlikely but maybe all the talk in the press recently from ex-members was just a decoy?... sadly not, however the big surprise was that KISS are becoming avatars (see video below)! 

So that's it, not really sure where we go from here, there's now a big emptiness in the KISS world. Will there be any new material, non-makeup shows, blu-rays, box sets? Who knows what else the future brings, we will have to wait and see.

One thing though, if this is going to become an Alive V then Deuce might need to come from night #1 as the whole second line was missed. Poor Old Jim.

Don't forget you get a replay option that can be used up to 1st Jan.
