KISS ROCKED MASSIVE CROWD IN RIO THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY!

On June 18th, 1983, KISS performed before 137,000 fans at Maracana Stadium in Rio De Janerio, Brazil. This was the largest crowd of the band's career and the second show of three KISS shows on this mini Brazil tour. Portions of this show were recorded and broadcast on TV and radio by Globo TV. The three dates were the first South American shows for KISS ever and were also the last that KISS performed in makeup until 1996!

Set List:

Creatures Of The Night / Detroit Rock City / Cold Gin / Calling Dr. Love / Firehouse / I Want You / I Love It Loud / War Machine / Love Gun / God Of Thunder / I Still Love You / Black Diamond / Strutter / Rock And Roll All Nite

Here's KISS with the huge crowd at tonight's show at Villa Manin in Codroipa - Udine, Italy.

KISS' Rock & Brews will 'Shout It Out Loud' in Overland Park in early 2014
Posted by Jonathan Bender

KISS is hoping to be on your lips and in your stomachs, Overland Parktonians. Rock & Brews, a beer-garden concept from KISS' Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, is opening in the Prairiefire development (135th Street between Nall and Lamar) in early 2014. The outdoor patio "captures the excitement of your favorite classic rock concert performances in a family friendly environment." It's like really jamming out on your Discman while getting behind the wheels of a well-made push mower. Rock & Brews will be dishing up Steak Rattle & Roll sandwiches, Purple Rain Chocolate Drops and Surfin' Safari Shrimp Pesto Pizza.

The bandmates, who are still touring, have big plans for the franchise, intending to open 100 restaurants in the next five years. In the past 15 months, they've opened the first three locations (although an additional four are in various stages of construction). The Rock & Brews bar in Kansas will be the first outside Hawaii or California.

Ross Halfin was in Prague photographing KISS on Friday night, and as usual the results were great!
