. While fans were hoping for a reunion with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, the final show of Kiss's "End of the Road" tour instead featured a promotion for new digital avatars, marking the end of the band's physical presence. Paul Stanley assured the crowd that this is not the end, but rather a new beginning. He promised that Kiss will continue to be present in various forms and will always be in fans' dreams. Despite the lack of surprises, the show itself was nothing short of a sensational rock and roll spectacle that Kiss has perfected throughout their legendary 50-year career. From fiery pyrotechnics to ear-splitting explosions, and iconic moments like Gene Simmons breathing fire and Paul Stanley zip-lining across the arena, the performance was unforgettable. And the fact that it took place at Madison Square Garden, just a stone's throw away from the band's original rehearsal hall, added an extra sentimental touch. Paul Stanley reminisced about his humble beginnings as a taxi driver in New York City, sharing an anecdote about picking up fans going to see Elvis Presley at Madison Square Garden in 1972. Little did they know, Stanley confidently predicted that one day people would come to see him and his band perform at the same venue. And now, that prediction has become a reality.
