The Revenge Tour was a concert tour by Kiss supporting band's album Revenge. It was the first tour with drummer Eric Singer, replacing Eric Carr who died of cancer on November 24, 1991. The Detroit, Indianapolis and Cleveland shows were recorded for Kiss' first live album in 16 years, Alive III. Danger Danger, Faster Pussycat, Fortress, Great White, Jackyl, Shooting Gallery, Trixter and Vesuvius were the supporting acts for this tour. There were three legs to the tour, with the first being a series of 13 shows played in small clubs in North America in April and May 1992, followed by an 8 date run of full scale shows in the UK in the second half of May. The third, and final, leg was a tour of North American arenas which did not kick off until October of that year.
For the North American club tour, the band played on stage with no props and no pyrotechnics, due to the small size of these venues.
For the UK leg of the tour, the stage set from the Hot in the Shade Tour was used. During the show at Cardiff National Ice Rink on 20/05/92, a pyro queue for Heaven's on Fire caused £30,000 worth of damage to the ceiling.
For the North American arena tour, the stage featured a giant replica of the Statue of Liberty in front of a large Kiss logo wall. Halfway through the show, the statue's face crumbled to reveal its skull. Afterward, its right arm and torch crumbled down before its skeleton hand gave the finger.
As on the Hot in the Shade Tour, Steve Jander and his Dallas-based Showlasers were brought in to develop a laser show similar to the one used on the previous tour.
At the show in San Bernardino, California, the band only used the vinyl backdrop with the KISS logo due to the Orange Show Pavilion being unable to support the lighting rig and Statue Of Liberty prop. This show also featured no lasers and minimal pyrotechnics.
