Notes:
- The set included a rare U.S. performance of "Deuce" (at the time)...
- From a local review: "KISS, the long-time heavy metal heroes, proved Friday night at the Saginaw Civic Center that they're every bit as outrageous in their musical style as they were a decade ago and newly popular... Whether or not you like KISS, the group has to be credited for presenting a remarkably high level of energy, and doing it in a theatrical way... Stanley and bass player Gene Simmons virtually stole the show. Stanley was noteworthy for his rock 'n' roll raps with the audience, flying leaps into the air and fancy footwork. Simmons maintains a rather sinister persona with his power stances and hulking way of walking. He's also famous for his flickering tongue, which is a truly bizarre sight under the KISS makeup. Without the painted face, however, Simmons looks more like a comical rock 'n' roll Jerry Lewis when he flickers his lizard-like tongue" (Saginaw News, 2/21/84).
