"KISS on Tour" is a KissFAQ title that had been in print in physical format for some years. The most recent volume covers the years 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," as part of the touring section for the KissFAQ, and later KISSMONSTER, websites. This extract, from what currently weighs in at over 850 pages in U.S. letter format (8.50 × 11.00), is a more economically viable method of delivering an investigation of the band's performances. This volume covers the period as KISS attempted to establish themselves and escape from the clubs through the end of the initial make-up era.
