KISS played a rare unplugged concert last night (Thursday, April 3) at Highland, California's San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino. According to The Pulse Of Radio, the show, which came only one week before the band's induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, is notable seeing as how co-founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have ruled out KISS performing in any configuration at the induction ceremonies in Brooklyn. The casino gig was dubbed "An Acoustic Evening And Stories With Kiss", which recalled not only the band's impromptu performances at past KISS conventions, but the original lineup's legendary 1995 reunion as part of "MTV Unplugged". The setlist was as follows: 01. Comin; Home 02. Calling Dr. Love 03. Hard Luck Woman 04. Christine Sixteen 05. Hide Your Heart 06. Goin' Blind 07. Cold Gin 08. Do You Love Me 09. Nothin To Lose 10. Love Her All I Can 11. A World Without Heroes 12. Plaster Caster 13. Take Me 14. See You Tonite 15. Rock Bottom 16. You Shook Me (LED ZEPPELIN cover) 17. LED ZEPPELIN Medley 18. Mississippi Queen (MOUNTAIN cover) 19. Got To Choose 20. Shout It Out Loud 21. Rock And Roll All Nite The acoustic show was filmed by AMC as part of the upcoming reality show based around the AFL football team the LA KISS, which is part owned by Simmons and Stanley. Gene Simmons told The Pulse Of Radio that attending a KISS concert should be viewed as nothing less than a religious rock experience. "There's something else going on, that somehow words don't really get to in the same way that, perhaps, when you think about a Southern Baptist church revival," he said. "Your spirit is lifted when you walk out of there. You feel glad to be alive another day. I'd like to think that when you leave our show, you feel exhilarated -- physically exhausted, but there's something to talk about."
