Kiss tour chronology

The Kiss Alive/35 World Tour was a concert tour by Kiss to celebrate Kiss' 35th anniversary. It was the band's first major tour since the Rock the Nation Tour in 2004. On the tour, Kiss played in New Zealand for the first time since the Alive/Worldwide Tour in 1997, as well as performing in Europe for the first time since the Psycho Circus Tour in 1998/1999. Kiss wore Destroyer-themed costumes for the tour and on the European leg the majority of the songs on Alive! were played. The tour was highly successful and proved to be Kiss' biggest ever tour of Europe. This tour is the first time Kiss visits Bulgaria, Greece, Latvia, Russia, Luxembourg, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela.

3 legs and 38 shows were announced. Kiss headlined the Download [1], Graspop Metal Meeting and Arrow Rock [2] festivals in Europe as part of the tour.

The World Tour began on March 16 at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit in Melbourne, Australia. The European leg started on May 9 in the König Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany. The LatinAmerica leg started on April 3 in Chile. The tour ended on December 13, 2009 in Pittsburgh after the December 15, 2009 concert in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada was posponed until summer 2010 due to inclement weather.^[1]

[edit] European tour notes

Ticket to Kiss Concert in Lima,Perú.

During Tommy Thayer's solo after "She", rockets shot from his guitar neck as Ace Frehley had done previously.
Kiss agreed to play double dates in Helsinki after the first show sold out the venue (13000 tickets) in under seven minutes. The extra show was scheduled for the previous day. Needless to say, it also sold out under ten minutes.
For several German shows, the Kiss logo on the tour program was censored due to the SS at the end of the word Kiss looking too similar to the Nazi symbol for the Schutzstaffel, which was also two angular S's. The S's were made to look more traditional and less angular.
In Bergen, Paul Stanley didn't fly out over the audience during "Love Gun."

[edit] North American tour notes

"Cold Gin", "I Was Made for Lovin' You", and Gene Simmons' bass solo in "I Love It Loud" were not performed at the Konocti Harbor show on August 31 due to wind conditions.

In Quebec City on July 16, 2009, Kiss played to a crowd of over 90,000.
In Milwaukee on June 27, 2009, and in Paso Robles, CA on July 28, 2009 Paul Stanley didn't fly over the audience.
In Toronto on October 2, 2009, during the opening song "King of the Night Time World" the power went out in the Air Canada Center, although they did finish the show. Paul teased the audience once again with "Stairway to Heaven".
In Milwaukee on June 27, 2009 and Uniondale on October 9, 2009, during the middle of "Lick It Up", the band broke into "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who, complete with Paul Stanley doing the famous Roger Daltrey yell. Paul also teased the audience once again with "Stairway to Heaven".
In Greenville, SC on October 17, "Shock Me" and "Calling Dr.Love" were played for the first time on the American leg of the tour.
In Philadelphia, PA on October 12, during Gene's bass solo, he spat blood AFTER he flew up onto the platform above. He also brought back the clock bell and the white light that hasn't been used since Animalize which adds a more frightening effect to his performance.
In Atlanta, GA on October 26, Kiss performed "Say Yeah" off the Sonic Boom album for the first time ever live.
In Little Rock, Arkansas on October 29, during the guitar solo of "She" one of the stage lights fell, crashing within feet of the audience.
In Winnipeg on November 9, a concussion bomb (explosive) caught fire after "Black Diamond" for which Kiss proceded to play Firehouse, as crew dropped down the row of lights to extinguish the flame. Gene also sang "I Love it Loud" from the top of the light rigging after the fly-up rather than the expected "God of Thunder".
In Calgary, Alberta, on Nov 12, while Tommy Thayer had pyrotechnics firing from the neck of his guitar up into the stadium during his solo, one appeared to hit one of the light riggings, causing it to fall and break. This is a common occurrence in many KISS live shows, often during the Space Man's Guitar solo.
In Vancouver on November 14, 2009, Paul teased the audience once again with "Stairway to Heaven".

[edit] South American tour notes

Paul Stanley teased Buenos Aires', Lima's, Bogota's and Caracas's audience with fragments of "Guantanamera" and "Cucurrucucú Paloma" (both sung in Spanish) before playing "Rock and Roll All Nite".

Love Gun was not played at the Rio de Janeiro show due to rain conditions.

Paul Stanley salutates the audiencie with "Yo no hablo mucho español,pero conozco tus sentimientos y mi corazón es tuyo" (I don't speak much spanish, but I know your feelings and my heart is yours).

They made a little trip in Peru to visit and learn more about peruvian culture, this trip was done one day before show.

In Buenos Aires, Argentina, the cable that was rising to Gene failed. Gene said shortly after, "We put our lives on the line on a nightly basis all for you!", which was met with cheers from the crowd.
