The Dynasty Tour was a concert tour by the rock band Kiss. It was their first tour since Alive II's tour ended on April 2, 1978 in Japan. The Dynasty Tour, also known as "The Return of Kiss", was the first tour to feature the famous flying stunt by Gene Simmons. This was also the first tour to feature Ace Frehley's "lighted guitar" and his rocket-shooting guitar, where after his smoke-spewing guitar solo, the still-smoking guitar would float up. As it was floating upward, he would appear with another guitar, aim the neck at the floating guitar, shoot the rockets, and blow it up. A trick was designed for Paul Stanley that involved him putting on a headset and shooting a laser out of his left eye to mock the effect seen in ''Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park'' the year before. After several runthroughs, both Stanley and manager Bill Aucoin said no to the idea, citing the danger involved. The tour, dubbed "The Return Of Kiss", also saw a decline in audience. Additional dates at the Pontiac Silverdome were cancelled. This was the last tour with Peter Criss on drums until 1996. This tour is also famous for being the only tour to feature songs from all four members solo albums. Simmons performed "Radioactive", Criss performed "Tossin' and Turnin'", Frehley performed "New York Groove", and Stanley performed "Move On". Simmons' and Criss' songs were replaced with more familiar songs early in the tour. Criss' song "Dirty Livin" was reportedly rehearsed, but never performed. Frehley stated in various interviews that Kiss was becoming a youth-oriented band. It was because kids were showing up dressed in costume and make-up for their shows along with their parents. As a result, many teenage fans felt alienated and were turned off by the band. ==Tour setlist== # "King of the Night Time World" # "Let Me Go Rock 'n' Roll" # "Move On" # "Calling Dr. Love" # "Firehouse" # "New York Groove" (lighted guitar) # "I Was Made for Lovin' You" # "Love Gun" # "2,000 Man" (Ace Frehley Guitar-Solo, smoking guitar, flying guitar, rocket shooting guitar) # "Christine Sixteen" # "God of Thunder" (Gene Simmons Bass-Solo, Bloodspitting and Flying-Stunt, Peter Criss Drum-Solo) # "Shout It Out Loud" # "Black Diamond" # "Detroit Rock City" # "Beth" # "Rock and Roll All Nite" "Radioactive" and "Tossin' and Turnin'" were played at a few shows during the tour and "Let Me Go, Rock 'n' Roll" and "Christine Sixteen" were put in their places. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dynasty Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
