Gene Simmons is set to play solo shows in conjunction with Wizard World Comic Con events in five cities over the course of 2017. With the first performance in Cleveland coming up in two weeks, Simmons and his new band warmed up at a private corporate event this past Thursday (March 2).

Nearly 32 minutes of video footage from the show surfaced via the Facebook page of Phil Shouse, one of the guitarists on stage with Simmons. Performing without the makeup he made famous in Kiss, Simmons led the band through “Deuce,” “Radioactive,” “I Love It Loud,” “Christine Sixteen” a cover of Roy Head’s “Treat Her Right,” “Cold Gin” and “Calling Dr. Love.”
