Kiss concert chronology

In the tour program for the band's final tour, Stanley reflected on the tour:

Headlining at Cobo Hall in Detroit for the first time was a real eye opener. It was happening for us at that time. The roller coaster had gone over the top and we were on the ride. I could sense that we were really on our way. I don't think I ever doubted that I was going to succeed. Maybe the best way to succeed is to never doubt it. You may fail but I think the most important thing is having that determination and belief in yourself.[1]
