"KISS on Tour" is a KissFAQ series title that had been in print in physical format for some years. The most recent volumes cover the years 1972–1983 and 1998–2014 (which included several appendices of earlier tours). However, for much of the past two decades an independent work covering the full KISS touring history has been under development for a "KISS Live Focus;" and as part of the touring section for the KissFAQ, and successor KISSMONSTER, websites. This extract, from what currently weighs in at over 875 pages in U.S. letter format (8.5 × 11"), is a more economically viable method of delivering an investigation of the band's performances gearing it to a specific period of the band's history. This volume covers the period as KISS attempted to reestablish themselves following their decision to remove their trademarked makeup and surrendering to the inevitable nostalgia with the 1996/7 Alive/Worldwide reunion.
