Two legendary rock bands offer fantastic career-ending retrospectives

As a lifelong fan who has seen both the Allman Brothers Band and KISS perform live more times than I can count, these upcoming retrospectives have me more excited than a kid in a candy store! The prospect of reliving those magical moments through the Allman Brothers’ Final Concert 10-28-14 is absolutely tantalizing. I can only imagine how pristine the remixed sound will be and what gems are hidden among the 30 songs curated for the three discs.


Music documentaries and reflective pieces can sometimes be unpredictable in their quality. It’s often apparent when a record label or media company is merely trying to cash in on a low-budget doc about a band. The top-notch ones, however, are skillfully produced and scripted. On the other hand, the poorer ones seem to lack understanding of the band’s unique musical style.

Two upcoming releases or re-releases from two iconic rock bands are anticipated to be excellent. Firstly, The Allman Brothers Band have prepared a three-disc collection featuring their last concert, titled plainly as Final Concert 10-28-14. This set will contain the three separate sets performed during that final show by the band.

On October 25, the albums are set to drop, having been recorded at New York City’s Beacon Theatre. The devoted followers of the band can look forward to an exceptional listening experience as the sound is promised to be meticulously remastered. It seems that the collection includes approximately 30 songs carefully selected for the three discs.

The Allman Brothers Band and Kiss working of new retrospectives that are quite enticing

A well-known band, Kiss, is creating a retrospective documentary. The specifics about what the film will cover haven’t been fully disclosed yet. However, Paul Stanley shared a picture on Twitter of his wife being interviewed for this five-part documentary. This documentary focuses on following the band during their final tour which started in 2019 and concluded in 2023.

The odd part is that Kiss fans do not know yet where they will be able ot watch the doc or even who is producing it. Five episodes is a lot so someone is pouring a lot of money into having the doc made. Stanley’s tease is interesting, but fans might be a bit miffed that there are no more details.

The event is expected to occur shortly. In the interim, if you didn’t catch Kiss in person, there will be a hologram performance available in 2027. This concept was inspired by an earlier show by ABBA, which proved quite engaging. Fingers crossed that Stanley, Gene Simmons, and their companions can create a similar enchantment.
