Love Gun Tour


The Love Gun Tour was a concert tour by Kiss, in support of Love Gun.

History

This was the first tour where Ace Frehley sang lead vocals, on "Shock Me". The three Los Angeles shows were recorded for Alive II. This is the only tour to feature the song "Hooligan" in the set list. This is the first tour to feature "Calling Dr. Love" in the set list. Cheap Trick and Styx were the opening acts throughout the tour.
Peter Criss had gotten injured when the van carrying equipment and the other members had overturned, when the band was practicing at an airport hangar and preparing to travel to Canada for the first show.
In the tour program for the band's final tour, Paul Stanley reflected on the tour:

Reception

John Kafentzis, a report from The Spokesman-Review who attended the Seattle performance stated that the choreography was precise and the stunts were well-planned, leaving no time to practice music. He however, criticized that each song sounded like the last, which he said "sounds like the Saturday night rumble of dozens of mufflers on Riverside". He continued, by stating that the band put on a show and concluding that the well-behaved audience "got their $7 worth".
