Tucson was No. 2 on the band's itinerary when it criss-crossed the country on its 2000 Farewell Tour. That was the last time we saw Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Co. in Tucson, but the farewell tour was short-lived. Although they haven't done extensive, drawn-out tours, the band has continued to tour with Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer replacing founding members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley.
