Reply #19: OK, here's the challenge

Fight it out in theater with no pyro, no makeup, and only a few basic lights.

U2 wins in a landslide.

I saw U2 on the Unforgettable Fire tour. A few songs into the set, something went wonky with the hydraulics in the lighting rig. The show had to be stopped for 20 minutes while the crew took down a huge bank of lights that was dangling ominously over the front rows of the crowd.

The band came back and played with what amounted to an overgrown set of dive bar stage lights. Didn't matter. It was a remarkable set that had the audience singing the refrain from "40" in the streets of downtown Worcester long after the concert ended.

Let's see Kiss pull off a show without the circus theatrics.
