Livestreaming in the Covid era has mostly been defined by higher casualness and lower budgets. But intimate doesn’t exactly match Kiss’s over-the-top, blow-your-face-off aesthetic, so the band naturally went the total opposite direction.
ou don’t want chaos. You can have the biggest, but it won’t be the baddest because just random explosions everywhere and 300-foot fireballs going off, you can’t tap your foot to that or sing along. You want to have something that has coordination. So everything that we’re naturally doing onstage is going to be amplified — 10-to-100-fold bigger, oh my God.”
The higher costs, however, give Kiss more options than their usual, still-ostentatious tour gigs. Hundreds of feet of showboating hellfire couldn’t be thrown out just anywhere, after all. While there were a few limitations for some facets of the show, such as stage size, the band got to run wild for its setup wish list. Stanley calls the New Year’s Eve gig “their end-of-the-road setup on steroids.” “We don’t really have a word for ‘no,'” says Doc McGhee, Kiss’s manager since 1995.
If someone contracts the virus, the team should be able to easily trace who else has been in contact with that worker. The crew will essentially create a bubble for the show setup, particularly the few staffers who will be in direct contact with Kiss. Catullo says even with his daily Covid testing, he will quarantine for 24 hours before seeing the band. By Catullo’s count, the crew will take about 6,000 Covid tests over a 13-day period.
“The last thing we want to be known as is the band that infected the fucking world.” —Kiss manager Doc McGhee

As if you needed any further demonstration that Gene Simmons and most people in a city such as Dubai aren't living the same quality of life or even on the same planet as most of the rest of us apparently. Enjoy your hubris and waste while people fall into squalor everywhere.

Seems like the best use of money 🙄

I was at the 2000/Y2K New Year's show. Not their best night. Even late with the countdown.
Shame they couldn't do it live with a 50k crowd at Eden Park Stadium in Auckland.
