Kiss Alive Forever: The Complete Touring History
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
KISS is unequaled in the world of concert performance. Over a quarter century's worth of visually spectacular and financially profitable concerts are testimony to that fact. KISS Alive Forever is the must-have reference for every die-hard KISS fan--a complete archive of well over 1,900 performances, all categorized by tour.
KISS fans will find extensive overviews of each tour, including the number of shows, start and end dates, song pool, opening acts cross-referenced by tour, and average attendance. Entries on individual performances include date of show, city, state, and location of show, opening act, attendance, facility capacity, and promoter, as well as descriptions of the shows themselves.
Entertaining sidebars feature one-on-one interviews with members of the KISS road crew, as well as with opening acts such as Iron Maiden, Rush, Cheap Trick, and Styx. Also included are an index of all 233 songs in the band's catalog, over 560 setlists from shows throughout its career, and over 200 photos chronicling KISS's amazing concert history.
Although KISS stated that its 2001 "farewell" tour would be its last, the tour is ongoing and future performances are planned, topped by a spectacular television "Farewell Show." KISS Alive Forever is sure to be a devoted fan's lasting chronicle of this extraordinary band's complete concert career.
