Notes:

- From a local review: "KISS is dead. This may come as quite a shock to the fans who showed up at the Erwin Center Saturday night to watch the four imposters who spent an hour and 45 minutes trying to pull the wool over the eyes of loyal followers. But this band could not have been the famed masked musicians who sold more than a billion records during the past 10 years... Instead of a two-hour hard rock circus, one gets an exceedingly average array of power chords and inane solos... Paul Stanley has become a parody of the rock 'n' roll lover-man image he spent 10 years creating. He now resorts to constantly demonstrating his mastery of American profanity. And so, after 10 years as the self-proclaimed greatest band in the land, KISS finds itself abandoning its reputation, but having nothing more to offer in its place. Though the members' past notability keeps them in good stead with many of their older fans, all new ones have to look forward to is something they can find in thousands of other bands: mediocrity" (Austin American-Statesman, 1/28/85).
