Kiss concert chronology

The Alive/Worldwide Tour (also known as the Reunion Tour) was a 1996–1997 concert tour by American hard rock band Kiss. It was the first tour with original members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley since their 1979 Dynasty Tour. The tour grossed $143.7 million, making it the most successful Kiss tour to date. Average attendance was 14,000.

Shows included the June 15 warmup gig in Irvine, California, during which a stray firework ignited part of the stage; the August 8 show in Cincinnati, where a fan threw his prosthetic leg on stage, which all the members signed and handed back to him; the January 22 show in Osaka, Japan, where Gene Simmons lost his voice, Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley had to sing most of the songs; and the April 5 show in Columbus, Georgia, where, due to health reasons, Peter Criss could not perform, and because the group decided to not cancel the show since the doors were already open---Criss's drum tech Eddie Kanon took the stage in Criss's "cat" make-up.

The setlists for the tour drew almost exclusively from the band's 1970s heyday and did not include any songs from their non-make-up era. Only one song from the band's 1980s catalogue ("Shandi" from Unmasked) was played. The band did this because they believed that since they were touring with their original lineup, they should be faithful to the era with the material performed.

Typical setlist

  1. "Deuce"
  2. "King of the Night Time World"
  3. "Do You Love Me?"
  4. "Calling Dr. Love"
  5. "Cold Gin"
  6. "Love Gun"
  7. "Shout It Out Loud"
  8. "Watchin' You"
  9. "Firehouse"
  10. "Strutter"
  11. "Shock Me (Ace Frehley guitar solo)
  12. "Rock Bottom"
  13. "God of Thunder" (Gene Simmons bass solo, spits blood and flies), (Peter Criss drum solo)
  14. "New York Groove"
  15. "Let Me Go, Rock 'n' Roll"
  16. "100,000 Years"
  17. "Black Diamond
  18. "Beth"
  19. "Detroit Rock City"
  20. "Rock and Roll All Nite"

Other songs played included "Take Me", "I Stole Your Love", "Shandi", "C'mon and Love Me", "I Was Made for Lovin' You", "Christine Sixteen", and "2,000 Man".
