I know that Peter is getting up there in age, but I've always wished that he and Ace Frehley would reunite with Kiss one final time before Peter retired. Goodbye, and God Bless you, Peter Criss. Thank you for the music.
They should have for the Hall of Fame, I mean just one show, a few songs why not? I thought that was ridiculous, I get that other guys have been in the band, but everything that got Kiss in the Hall of Fame was before that. Sad he had to end his career this way, not a bad end but not how he wanted it.
I don't. I think Peter leaving it where he is is the class thing to do. Paul - the one who wouldn't play with Peter at the HOF because of what he considered peter's declining chops - can't sing a note any more. Peter, apparently being a realist is comfortable with leaving his legacy his way. I'm happy and proud of him for ending this way. He was never the greatest drummer on the planet and at times not even a good drummer. But, he was my first influence and when he was good, he was very good.
jayvon howard Gene and Paul were completely willing to play with Peter and Ace for the HOF, but they also wanted to play a song with Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, because they’re equally a part of kiss history too. The HOF said no, and that it could only be one line up so Gene and Paul decided not to perform.
Oh, and I hope Peter, wait you know what, I would pay to see that. Yeah, if they played double platinum at Metallica speed I would pay 300 us dollars for that ticket! Now I am going to eat some Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
I my opinion, one of the biggest mistakes KISS made as a band was not giving Peter Criss more material to sing. He had/has a great voice that would bode well with most hard rock songs, which would have added a lot more versatility to their overall sound.
James Lopez Rolling Stone agreed when they reviewed Love Gun, saying a huge mistake was being made by “underutilizing the songwriting talents of Peter Criss”. ;)
This is magic 🙏 All respect for you Peter seen you live several times meet you face to face as well. This song get me goosebumps best regards Bjorn from Sweden Scandinavia 🇸🇪
His Voice sounds still amazing, wow. I love this man so much, i got goose bumps , this performence is soo good. I'm so sad that i'm to young and had no chance to see Peter as he was in the Band. But he'll be forever my only & favourite catman.
GOODBYE PETER, YOU HAVE BEEN A BIG PART OF MY LIFE, AND YOU WILL ALLWAYS BE IN MY HART. I’M NEARLT CRYING WHILE I WRITING THIS COMMENT, GOD BLESS YOU YOU ARE MY BIGGEST DRUM-IDOL OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!
Peter criss is why I became a drummer. After I seen kiss at civic arena in Pittsburgh in 1978 I was 10 got my first kit about year later. There is no kiss without peter and ace in my book! Rock steady catman 🥁🎶🤘
I was Peter Chris for Halloween. My buddies were the other guys. We looked awesome but none of us could sing lol.. Kizz Rocks and you made that band shine even more ...
Kinda hard to listen to knowing its the end. But I loved it all the same. With the heaviest heart I say to the one and only catman. Luv 2 u Peter Criss. Goodbye.
One wonders if Gene and Paul will learn by seeing Peter retire on his terms. Peter will be remembered he could still sing well at his last concert. Sadly Paul's voice is on it's last legs. It's sad to hear how bad Kiss sounds now. Ace's band does better versions of Kiss songs than Gene and Paul's tribute psycho Kiss money bags circus of today.
Hmmm, Peter sang less than 1/4th of the songs that Paul sang in his career. So never really "singing" is a good reason to have the same voice in your 70's.Let's also be truthful about it. He is "going out on his own terms" due to little or no demand for him. If he was able to continue to stay employed "on his own terms"....he would continue "on his own terms". He's not in the band he helped to form because he wanted it "on his terms" which wasn't realistic, nor profitable. So while being a "Ace and Peter only" fanboy, at least be truthful.
I love the video where Aces face is in photographs...Ace and Peter used to hang together...THIS VIDEO IS TOUCHING. You can tell Peter has love and kindness for the fans and the memories and the music. He is one cool cat. I saw him perform in '76. Drums rising, firesorks, drum solo to die for. He sang beth on a stool. I WAS THERE. Give it up to the O.G.
wayto go peter, saw yall in make up in 1996in the reunion tour in p cola fl, great show, shame on gene and paul for bad mouthing, you are an equal part in kiss , and gene knows that the fans love you, have always loved kiss from the beginning , i became a fan at 7 years old in 1976 and still am to this day................ \
Beautiful! Will miss you, Catman! Can anyone tell me: was Lydia by any chance, in attendance? You show a lot of class here, Peter. I read your book, and I really liked it. I felt and appreciated your authenticity about your own experience. Truly hope you enjoy your retirement.
It just feels so sad to me that he's gone out with a whimper in a little club. What a shame the 4 of them couldn't have put their differences aside and said goodbye together on a scale that did them justice (if you overlook the fact they did that already in 00/01).
Yep, well said. It is sad. Paul and Gene have run Kiss into the ground and Paul hasn't been able to sing for a decade. Seeing as the Farewell Tour was anything but, the four of them should have got together one more time while they still had some fuel in the tank and gone out in style instead of another tired tour of Casinos and the Catman saying goodbye without hardly anyone knowing about it.
This was and always will be PETERS ANTHEM..Cuz noone can ever touch perfection from the one and only CATMAN 🐈
I know that Peter is getting up there in age, but I've always wished that he and Ace Frehley would reunite with Kiss one final time before Peter retired. Goodbye, and God Bless you, Peter Criss. Thank you for the music.

peter forever a great man
Not a big KISS Fan but great to see him going on out on his terms. Nice job on this song.
FUCK. #1. NEW. KISS 😎🍻
I love Peter Crisse's voice, he was always my favorite in the band, I will always be a catman fan!!! love you Peter!!!
Criss'.
This is one of the most beautiful songs.
Gene & Paul are you listening? Bring the real Catman out there for the world to hear again.
I bet Peter would do it for his fans.
ThinkReal he stopped for his wife. No way that he is coming back.
He loves music and he loves to perform.Still the greatest!
@@user-zx6lf5so4w the more I hear Gene talking in interviews about how fantastic he himself is, l find myself liking Peter quite a bit more. 😎
Oh, and I hope Peter, wait you know what, I would pay to see that. Yeah, if they played double platinum at Metallica speed I would pay 300 us dollars for that ticket! Now I am going to eat some Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
@@markmower6507 exactly I feel the same way🙂

James Lopez he sang in literally every song where he drummed
He is the drummer, I like the way he plays drums? ! Has everyone forgotten that he also plays the drums, Effectively? !
Agreed. One of my favorite songs that’s so underrated it Mainline. He’s got such a great voice.
Great performance! Thanks peter for all the great drumming and singing and being part of my favorite band, KISS.
This masterpiece sung by peter makes tears come out😢👍👍
Thank you Peter...You got me playing in bands and I met you and Ace in the 90s during your Club tour. I wish you nothing but the best....
like in the goodnold days peter god bless u man
That looks like a great show. Peter looks good out there, a real entertainer.
fan since 76, TANK YOU PETER!!! god bless
This is magic 🙏
All respect for you Peter seen you live several times meet you face to face as well. This song get me goosebumps best regards Bjorn from Sweden Scandinavia 🇸🇪

Going out on your own terms Outstanding..
Long live the one & only catman!
Best From Late Night With Johnny P Show
I would have loved to be there...
What a class act.
Awesome... Hope to see you in LA before you retire!! 👍👍👍 please please please
this was very very moving...I seen him do this 5 times or so in KISS....this is touching...if this is his final gig.
Thank you Peter for memories I will never forget, my first concert was KISS 1977 LA Forum, with Cheap Trick Opening......
Thank you Peter, you'll never know what you have brought to my life
GOODBYE PETER, YOU HAVE BEEN A BIG PART OF MY LIFE, AND YOU WILL ALLWAYS BE IN MY HART. I’M NEARLT CRYING WHILE I WRITING THIS COMMENT, GOD BLESS YOU YOU ARE MY BIGGEST DRUM-IDOL OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!
Enjoy your retirement Catman and thanks for the awesome drum beats over the years!
He will always be the Catman. Glad I got to meet him once in 2009.
Peter criss is why I became a drummer. After I seen kiss at civic arena in Pittsburgh in 1978 I was 10 got my first kit about year later. There is no kiss without peter and ace in my book! Rock steady catman 🥁🎶🤘
Wow, how moving. And to think this is probably his final performance of this greatest of all rock ballads 😔
I am almost 50 and I have enjoyed hearing that song by him. Good voice sounds great man. Rock on
Great to see the Catman performing!
Peter your the best!!Remember what ever band you join after KISS..your the show stopper always❤
Amazing!
I'm all in tears....
Why are my eyes watering?
AWESOME!!! And he still has made the BEST Kiss solo album of all of them [just saying...]
Draxtor Despres I don't know,. Gene singing WISH UPON A STAR was pretty good
The song "he" wrote? 1. It's questionable whether "he" wrote a majority of Beth. 2. "Beck", the original song was terrible until Bob Ezrin got it.
Draxtor Despres He most certainly did. ;)
Catnan forever!
And I enjoy Ace’s work, too!
hahaha Yeah, that was awesome wasn't it?
Peter could come to Brazil, will be Awesome
We all love you cat man!!!!
I was Peter Chris for Halloween. My buddies were the other guys. We looked awesome but none of us could sing lol.. Kizz Rocks and you made that band shine even more ...
Jimmie Zabriskie I wanted to go to a Karaoke bar on Halloween with 1/2 my face as Peter and 1/2 as Gene.
Am I the only one who thinks Beth was their best song??
tejastrojan Beth was the only one that won a Grammy
Luke Bourke ,Kiss never won a Grammy. Google is your friend.
Beth won in 1976. It's the only KISS song to ever win. Google it.
Luke Bourke, no they didn't. smh
I'm sorry it was a people's choice award... I always thought it was a Grammy...
All the times I have seen Kiss in concert, him singing that song still gives me goose bumps.
What I remember is double platinum!
this was much better then I expected always loved the song really good
My hero..my youth..thank you Peter.
Love his voice. Peter Criss forever...
He still has the voice. What a sad but beautiful song.
Thanks for posting Vincent! Awesome!
Bittersweet,,I was in my teens during the 70s my favorite kiss song,,and he can still pull it off,,
He will always be the One & Only Catman to me. ❤️❤️❤️ Peter Criss
That was excellent!
This song still gets me choked up.
Peter...God bless you
Mr Criss was the reason I pick the drums for my instrument in 1975. God Bless you Mr Criss, I hope to meet you again in the future.
Awesome seeing sisters doll playing with Peter awesome work boys
The one and only!
Kinda hard to listen to knowing its the end. But I loved it all the same. With the heaviest heart I say to the one and only catman. Luv 2 u Peter Criss. Goodbye.
Love you 🤘🇸🇪😻one of the best songs for Ever
Great song . Peter you never lost it . Thank you for the 🎶
Black Diamond was the best song Peter sang and Aces best guitar solo.
That was about '73 and it STILL holds its own in 2017.
Strange Ways was pretty damn good as well. Peter's voice and Ace's solo was amazing!
That was fantastic!
Peter still has,it the voice and,drums it's to bad some think hes,not good. heres,a,wake up call he,was,and,is,a damn good vocalist and drummer.

very well said...

Paul’s voice was on its last legs in 2012
Shut up !!
Peter Criss is a rock and roll Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, this performance is priceless.❤😺
Also, let us not forget he is actually pretty good with percussion? !
This was heartwarming. Long live the Catman. God Bless you

Beth's majestic.
Huge respect for Peter Criss. As a fellow drummer, he was my costume character every Halloween. Great to see his last performance here.
\m/ Well done Peter! \m/
wayto go peter, saw yall in make up in 1996in the reunion tour in p cola fl, great show, shame on gene and paul for bad mouthing, you are an equal part in kiss , and gene knows that the fans love you, have always loved kiss from the beginning , i became a fan at 7 years old in 1976 and still am to this day................
\
greatest ballads ever!!!!!
sounds as good as ever
OMG amazing!!!!
yes beautiful!!!
Peter's voice still sounds great, I'm sure Gene Simmons will put a cease and desist on that, maybe even try to trademark it.
Don't be jealous that there is still a demand for Gene Simmons so he doesn't have to "go out on his own terms".
When he tries to trademark a hand movement or catchphrase then he’ll trade mark anything😂
He was always my favorite too hell to gene and paul.
LEGEND !
HEY 🥰 WOW DIS IS HEAVY METAL!!
Exelent..the best ❤
Beautiful! Will miss you, Catman! Can anyone tell me: was Lydia by any chance, in attendance? You show a lot of class here, Peter. I read your book, and I really liked it. I felt and appreciated your authenticity about your own experience. Truly hope you enjoy your retirement.
Peter Criss 😍❤😍
love ya Pete
After 40 yrs, I am tired of this song. it wasn't my favorite back then and time didn't help. Hooligan and others rock and still song good...
Fantastic!!!
The one and only singer of Beth for me
Not a dry eye in the house that was beautiful.
Awesome
Legendary drummer 😹
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish they had a
hou ar olwees de best 4 me tenx peter chris
j
Moore Kiss than Kiss will ever be. Love you Peter ❤
It just feels so sad to me that he's gone out with a whimper in a little club. What a shame the 4 of them couldn't have put their differences aside and said goodbye together on a scale that did them justice (if you overlook the fact they did that already in 00/01).
Yep, well said. It is sad. Paul and Gene have run Kiss into the ground and Paul hasn't been able to sing for a decade.

Cool.
song has the same simple timeless quality of colour my world by Chicago
Hey, did Peter bring Sister's Doll to the US? That's awesome!
MP... yes he did... they did a great job!
God bless you, THE REAL Catman!!
The reason i fell in love with Kiss is because of this song! The only song i know that has my name, Beth!
Have you heard from Peter since this? A nice goodbye
It's sad Peter crisis' retired
