Kiss Kick Off ‘End of The Road’ Tour: Set List, Photos, Videos

kicked off their farewell End of the Road tour last night at Rogers Arena in Vancouver with a sharp, career-spanning 20-song show performed on a brand new and very impressive-looking stage.

You can see the complete set list, exclusive photographs and fan-shot video from the concert below.

A victory lap tour like this isn't the time for radical reinvention, so the band moved from one beloved set piece to the next in a logical and familiar order.

While 12 of the evening's 20 songs came from the group's first six albums, attention was paid to other eras of their career, particularly the '80s. The band sounded great, and the stage was as good as they have been promising in recent interviews.

After the familiar introduction and curtain drop, Stanley, Simmons and Thayer descended from the ceiling on three giant hexagon-shaped pods. About a dozen slightly smaller pods hung at various angles over the set, alternately flashing lights, images or video of the performance below.

Of course, flames and sparks shot out of the stage from every conceivable angle.

Apart from a couple quick between-song speeches thanking fans for their support, and occasional montages and collages of video and photos from throughout the group's history, not a whole lot was made of the fact this is a farewell tour. If you didn't know going in this was goodbye, you really wouldn't have reason to think one was necessary.
