With KISS in town, I got to thinking: if this really is the End of the Road for the band, this the last chance we’ll get to see them in Boston.
Following that logic, I started listing off some of their contemporaries: bands that started touring in the ’70s or earlier, that are still around and touring, but could hang it up any day now. I came up with a half-dozen; they’re listed below. Take a look at the list and ask yourself: if I could only see ONE of these bands one more time before they retire from the road, who would I pick?
Oh, and if you’re picking KISS (or going to see them tonight), be sure to warm up for the show with this, and take our KISS Quiz, too!
