Last Monday Kiss rolled though Houston for the last time on for their End of The Road tour, a conclusion to a forty-six (forty-eight when the tour concludes in 2021) year run. I’m not really going to go on a review of the concert itself (It was amazing, fantastic, like nothing went wrong), but more on the experience that the concert gave me.
Kiss is one of my Mom’s favorite bands, it was music that she grew up on with the likes of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Guns N’ Roses. It’s also some of the music I listened to when introduced to rock music, so when Kiss came into town, I decided to surprise her by buying last minute tickets. Which leads me into what I really think was the best part of seeing Kiss live: Connecting with my Mom though music and getting to see her through a light I’ve never really seen her before, a fan of rock. (My Mom playing CDs is one thing, watching her scream the lyrics to I Was Made for Loving You while lasers and a pyro show goes off is another). It was amazing going though the process of getting ready for a concert, standing in line while it rained, and checking out the merch table together. That I feel like was the theme for most people that night, yes it is Kiss’ last tour (allegedly *cough* Farewell Tour ’01 *cough*), but it was also a lot of peoples first Kiss tour. Whether it was parents taking their kids for the first time, people re-seeing them for the hundredth time, or like my Mom- reliving a love for music that she’s always had. Anyways I just felt like sharing that and I hope that maybe everyone gets the chance to see their parents favorite (or well one of their favorite) bands with them at least once! As always thank you for reading and until next time…. Love, Sydney
