Stage Setup
The stage was dominated by a large sphinx nicknamed Leon The Sphinx, mirroring the cover of Hot in the Shade. As the houselights dimmed, a humming sound would be heard from the speakers, while Leon opened his mouth, and let hundreds of thin laser beams out. The laser curtain concept had already been developed for the Dynasty Tour, but it had not worked properly, and was discarded after the first show.
As Leon's mouth opened fully, Kiss would be revealed standing in silhouette, in the mist of laser beams. There was no "You wanted the best, you got the best" introduction on this tour; Kiss would just walk down onto the stage and open the show with "I Stole Your Love" and a fireworks display.

Famous quotes containing the word stage:
“There are people who are so presumptuous that they know no other way to praise a greatness that they publicly admire than by representing it as a preliminary stage and bridge leading to themselves.”
