Episode 682. The Three Sides of the Coin podcast discussed opening bands, focusing on how opening acts are selected for tours and sharing experiences with both good and bad opening bands at KISS concerts and other shows. Mark shared stories about seeing Rush and Iron Maiden perform recently, noting how these bands that once opened for KISS are now headlining sold-out arena tours with elaborate productions. The discussion covered the business aspects of tour support, record label involvement in booking opening acts, and how bands like Faster Pussycat could be dropped from tours when album sales declined. Michael, Mark and Lisa Martini exchanged memories of memorable opening acts including Wasp, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, and various bands from KISS tours throughout the 1980s, discussing what made some opening performances stand out and others fall flat. They also touched on how tour frequency can impact a band’s marketability and the challenges of maintaining fan interest over time.

Episode 679. This episode we are joined by Bobby Getchell from Dressed To Kill to discuss the Spirit of 76 Expo, a charity event, to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, featuring a full-scale recreation of the KISS Destroyer stage, set to debut on September 12, 2026, exactly 50 years after the original tour ended. It was a years-long effort to build the stage using original blueprints provided by the original stage designer Mark Ravitz.

The event is described as a 1970s-themed expo with multiple stages, vendors, and special guests, including Felipe Rose of the Village People.

We also discussed the rarity of the KISS Destroyer stage and its significance to KISS fans, with Bobby revealing a previously unknown detail from the blueprints about a planned flying platform for Gene Simmons.

We are also joined by Russell Dannecker and Phil Diehl.
