On Tour: Love Gun (Tour)
Lisa Robinson, in her syndicated "Rock Talk" newspaper feature reported what was ultimately to become the road-map for the band for the rest of 1977 in early June: "In July, the band begins a Canadian tour. Then in August, KISS will perform all over the West Coast -- they missed it last time around -- with a possible four shows at Los Angeles' Forum. One of those Forum dates may be recorded for their next live album, to be released in the fall and backed by a giant promotional tour" (Springfield Union, 6/2/77). And thus things pretty much were... The "Love Gun" album would be the band's highest charting of their original incarnation, hitting #4 on the Billboard Top-200. The period, both album and tour, marked the beginning what is generally considered to the "Super KISS" era; the band's halcyon days of grandeur, the days and image most desirous of being replicated when a reunited band reconvened for the originals line-up reunion in 1996. And yet, in some ways, what was and what was later recreated are two completely different beasts in terms of performance and the scale and how each was ultimately utilized. The 1977 "Love Gun" tour (and following tour supporting "Alive II") show was impressive and majestic, and certainly represented the band at the zenith of their live performance... [Read More]

On Tour: KISS Alive II (Tour)
Even with the adjustment of the set list, the "Alive II" tour was little more than an extension of the "Love Gun" tour with it starting off where the latter had left off. However, it is firmly burned into the psyche as the ultimate tour the band conducted during their original era. Simply put, the "Alive II" represented the band at its visual height and domestic popularity as they prepared for an extended hiatus from the road in order to pursue the solo albums and TV projects. During this period merchandising grew, as did the band's overexposure. But for a few months the band put on some of their strongest performances on this tour, which still stands as one of their best attended averaging 13,900 attendees per show... [Read More]
