At the time of the European leg of the tour the
Destroyer album was already released and the band performed songs from that album, but they wore the
Alive! costumes and had the
Alive! stage show. At the time, the tour was referred to under the headline "Kiss tour", not "Alive! Tour" or "Destroyer Tour". The August 20 show in
Anaheim, California was the most famous of the tour - the band played for more than 42,000 people, the biggest US crowd the band had played to.
Bob Seger,
Ted Nugent and
Montrose were the opening acts. The
J. Geils Band,
Point Blank and Seger opened for them at their July 10 show in New Jersey, which was recorded and released on DVD decades later as "The Lost Concert". Opening act
Bob Seger would back out of a few dates on the tour so that he could complete work on his next album, in which he did not perform in Toronto. In the tour program for the band's
final tour, Simmons reflected on the tour: == Tour dates ==
