NEW YORK (AP) — Fifty years ago, four young New Yorkers dragged their guitars, amps and drums to a loft on 23rd Street in New York, dreaming of becoming the biggest band in the world. This weekend, Kiss, with two different members currently in the fold, will say its goodbyes about 10 blocks north of that loft.

Their final concerts will come Friday and Saturday.
