People! If there’s one rock band that enjoys coming to Connecticut, it’s KISS. Since the mid-1970’s KISS has played just about everywhere from The Palace Theater in Waterbury to the old New Haven Coliseum. Now as they say farewell on their “End of the Road” World Tour, which is on hiatus due to the Coronavirus, we look back at one of their many shows here in Connecticut.
Today’s Throwback Concert:
KISS
Freedom To Rock North American Tour
Opening Act: The Dead Daisies
Wednesday September 7, 2016
Webster Bank Arena – Bridgeport
About The Tour: After a massive 40th Anniversary World Tour in 2014-15, KISS announced its next tour called “Freedom To Rock” in 2016. The tour kicked off on July 4, 2016 in Tucson, Arizona and would visit over 30 North American cities, including Bridgeport and Uncasville. KISS visited mostly secondary markets and smaller cities it hadn’t be to in over a decade, some never before. Bridgeport, for example, last had KISS in town in 2003. The “Freedom To Rock” Tour was dedicated to veterans with a focus to help Hiring Our Heroes and the Veteran Tickets Foundation.

In Dumb Ass News, a Florida woman was arrested for putting Easter eggs filled with pornography in her neighbor’s mailboxes. (6:02)

Another nomination for Winner of the Week was called in by Trooper First Class Christine Jeltema. Sunset Technologies made a donation of 500 face shields for the state police, which is impressive considering they only have three 3-D printers, and cannot print more than 2 masks at once. (51:08)
