A look back at 50 years of Kiss-tory as the legendary band prepares to take its final bow

This weekend, Kiss, the band started by those four — albeit with two different members currently in the fold — will say its goodbyes about 10 blocks north of that loft. Kiss will play Madison Square Garden, having become if not THE biggest band in the world, certainly one of the biggest, one that's redefined expectations for the live concert experience.
