'79 to '82, an interesting time in original Kisstory. The '79 Dynasty tour was freakin' awesome in the days before cellphones, the internet and social media. It was those fantastic local newspaper ads which got the excitement going. Imagine if Dynasty was a double album? Perhaps there would have been no need for Unmasked, and with a lost cities tour into the places KISS didn't play in '79 into 1980 that would have rocked. Better yet the Elder Tour could have been a lost cities series of shows, venues KISS hadn't performed-in since the mid-70s. The Elder should have been at least a Drive-In B-movie back in the day. It's all in the past now, yet true KISS fans will always dream.
Do you remember the TV commercial for "The Return of KISS" ? That got me excited about the coming Tour. In the area I grew up, there were often TV Ads for concerts. I remember seeing them for lots of Bands. KISS and Triumph's really stuck in my memory.
@@My-Media-Museum The 'Return of KISS' commercial I never saw on TV back-in-the-day. Although friends of mine said they had seen one, for me it was the weekly newspaper articles on KISS leading-up to the concert which captured my attention. I saw Triumph in '78 at a local hockey arena, Harlequin was the opening band, awesome show and I was right up-front.
