Kiss concert chronology

The Asylum Tour was a concert tour by Kiss. It was the first Kiss tour since the Dynasty Tour to stay inside North America. Kiss also performed The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again", usually in the encore. Paul Stanley does his guitar-smashing ritual after Lick It Up.

On February 17, 1986, Kiss played the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, UT. Wasp was the opening act. The power went out in the middle of "Rock and Roll All Nite" and the concert ended when Kiss walked off the stage, waving to the audience.

On March 30, 1986, Kiss played at the Hammond Civic Center in Hammond, Indiana. Local church groups protested the entire event due to its being scheduled on Easter Sunday. During the show, the band blew out half of the windows on the outside west wall of the arena. Their PA system on this tour was rated at 120 decibels. Before the show Gene Simmons and Eric Carr walked around the perimeter of the building trying to hold polite conversations with the church groups. The concert in Hammond only sold 1,900 tickets.

On April 8, 1986, Kiss played at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Opening act King Kobra was invited and appeared on stage to sing "Lick it Up" with Kiss, making King Kobra the first group to ever share the stage with Kiss. W.A.S.P. opened in Chicago and Los Angeles (Inglewood).

Set list

"King Of The Mountain" and "Anyway You Slice It" was played on early shows before being dropped from the set list. Other songs played include Creatures of the Night, Strutter, Calling Dr. Love, and Oh! Susanna. "Black Diamond" was only performed once on this tour on February 4, 1986 in Daly City, California.
