You can listen to the concert in your nightclub and open another window to see Ustream's video. Those who participate will also get other Kiss virtual goods for their nightclub.
"We're celebrating the end of a monster tour by giving everyone a chance to relive some of what they heard and saw at the show," said singer/guitarist and band co-founder Paul Stanley in a statement. "Unfortunately, we will not be responsible for computers melting."
Ustream will also supply its concert video from the Epicenter Twenty Ten Festival in Fontana, California, to the site of LA rock radio station KROQ.com and other CBS Radio rock station websites nationwide.
This is the first time that a major music artist has shared a free concert live via a Facebook game, according to Booyah. The online social entertainment company opened Nightclub City in April; currently, the game, which incorporates real-world music into the game, has nearly 9 million players.
