How many concerts in full make up and costume

[wolfgang161272]

I have a question about the Wiz

How many concerts has Vinnie played in full make up and costume? Which are recorded or photographed?
Thanks for your help,

Wolfi

[Genebaby]

I have a question about the wiz too, I hope this is the right section.

When it comes out a funny colour and it hurts, is that bad? Should I see a Dr?

[PinkWiz]

If it comes out pink you're fine...

The Creatures of the Night Tour[1] was a concert tour by the hard rock group Kiss in support of their album of the same title. It was the second tour with drummer Eric Carr,his first in his home country, and the first tour with guitarist Vinnie Vincent,(nee Vincent Cusano) who replaced Ace Frehley.

Wearing a make up design of an Egypian 'Ankh', Cusano was promoted as "Vinnie 'The Wiz' Vincent" who was "even weirder than we are" in the tour's press release. The groups's lucrative record contract with Polygram required Kiss to be composed of founders Gene Simmons (bass), Paul Stanley (singer/guitarist)- and Frehley. The release did not say Frehley had quit, but instead stated Frehley was too injured from a recent car crash to tour, but might make appearances onstage when able. The band used group photos containing Ace Frehley for the tour's press kits and ad material during early dates; these were used by promoters for advertising, so many fans did not realize Frehley was replaced until they came to the venues. Before Vincent was announced, new photos were taken and later dates featured the band with Vincent in show ads.

The tour was billed as their "Tenth Anniversary Tour" and silver was used in tour promotion and for the guitar pick and drum stick signatures in keeping with a 'silver anniversary' theme. The band sold tee shirts, jerseys, black baseball caps, and pins at their concesion stands. The tour program was not available for sale until mid-February, shortly before the tour ended, making it one of the rarest Kiss programs and very sought after by fans of a certain age.

Attendance in North America was abysmal; even though the band had returned to its signature hard rock after several years of pop and disco-influenced music, very few people showed up at the concerts on the tour. Co-frontman Paul Stanley recalled a show in Lexington, Kentucky where he threw a pick that went over the entire audience of 2,500 and hit the floor. They later cancelled the rest of the US leg, and were offered some dates in Brazil, where they played to the biggest crowds of their career.

This tour is the only tour to feature live performances of "Rock and Roll Hell" and "Keep Me Comin" from the Creatures Of The Night lp, although both would be dropped from the set almost immediately. "I Want You" returned to the setlist for the first time since the Alive II Tour in 1978. The band sang the chant that opened and closed their new, main single "I Love It Loud" but by the tour's end this was changed and only Simmons sang it.

When the tour ended, Kiss decided to turn the page: Removing their make-up, and hanging up their platform boots until 1996.

"Creatures of the Night"
"Calling Dr. Love"
"Cold Gin"
"Firehouse"
"I Love It Loud"
"I Want You"
"Detroit Rock City"
"War Machine"
"Strutter"
"Love Gun"
"God of Thunder"

"Rock and Roll Hell" was dropped after two shows. "Keep Me Comin" was also played live on this tour, and it was dropped after a few shows. "I Love It Loud" was played twice in Sao Paulo-Brazil (instead of "Strutter").

^Note 1 First show with Vinnie Vincent.
^Note 2 Paul Stanley announced from the stage they would not be allowed to use pyrotechnics. The show had none, except Gene's firebreathing. Clips of this show and a quote from Paul Stanley backstage appeared on a Providence, RI tv station WPRI Channl 12 news story about the Centrum venue beating out the Civic Center for business, using Kiss as one example.
^Note 3 This show was canceled, due to poor tickets sales (only 2,000 sold). Promoter Frank J. Russo offered to swap Providence tickets for Worcester tickets and provided bus rides from the Civic Center to the Centrum and back. This boosted the Worcester show attendance to one of the tour's biggest.
^Note 4 Kiss' last show in make-up until 1996.

The Lick it Up Tour was a concert tour by Kiss. It was the first tour by Kiss without makeup. They used the same "tank" stage design as the Creatures of the Night tour, keeping all the same gimmicks, with the exception of Gene Simmons' blood spitting.

[edit] Tour notes
"All Hell's Breaking Loose" made its live debut in New Orleans on January 8, 1984. Just one day later, Kiss performed to their smallest crowd drawn in a major venue when just 1,507 filed into the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi. The poor sales were blamed on the close proximity of the New Orleans and Biloxi shows, just one day apart. "Exciter" was performed briefly, making its first appearance on October 11, and its final known live appearance on March 7.

The January 11 show in Nashville was recorded and an edited version aired on The King Biscuit Flower Hour. In recent years the entire show was made available among collectors. At the January 27 show in Long Beach, KISS were presented with their first Gold records since 1980 for the Lick It Up album.

Lead Guitarist, Vinnie Vincent was fired after the European Tour due to, "Unethical Behavior". Kiss, didn't have enough time, to search for another guitarist so, they re-hired Vincent for the American Leg of the tour until his firing became permanent after the tour ended. Bass guitarist, Gene Simmons, stated in various interviews about Vincent's dismissal (never signed his contract, as an official member of Kiss, and unethical behavior).

[edit] Gene Simmons' visual effects
Simmons, when interviewed in August 1983, was unsure how his live persona would apply in the forthcoming unmasked shows. He commented, "There's still an element of finding out exactly who we are. I may possibly give up the blood-spitting onstage... The fire breathing I'd like to do". "God of Thunder" was replaced with "Young and Wasted" early in the tour, and the reason for this was explained in an interview following the Madrid shows. Gene commented: "I tried "God of Thunder" and I thought it was wrong. Certain musical pieces should be kept for certain occasions - out of respect. "God of Thunder" is me, I am both people, but you have to adjust certain things". While Simmons would retain his fire breathing routine, he was unsure, at the time, whether it would last: "If that begins to feel wrong I'll drop it as well. There's always a price to pay for something".

It has been widely disputed whether Simmons spit blood for the first and only time without his trademark makeup at the tour's first show in Lisbon. Simmons has both confirmed (in 2002) and denied this claim. In 2007, a picture was put on the internet of Gene Simmons supposedly spitting blood on this tour, but it was later found to be a fraud.[1]
