KISS - DYNASTY TOUR REHEARSALS FULL BOOTLEG (THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH)

Lakeland, FL, June 14, 1979
- The show scheduled for this date was cancelled. "A concert scheduled for Thursday was cancelled earlier in the week; the official word for the cancellation was that drummer Peter Criss needed an extra day to heal a cut hand. Observers speculate the concert was canceled because only 8,000 tickets had been sold for the two shows in the 10,000 capacity arena. Center officials said Wednesday there were approximately 1,000 tickets left for Friday" (Lakeland Ledger, 6/15/1979).
- A recording from the "Dynasty" tour rehearsals is often attributed to this date, but was more likely made during earlier rehearsals for the tour due to the nature of Paul's raps; They're obviously not being directed towards any "audience." It's rather ominous, considering what would later occur, to hear Paul telling Peter to pick up the beat and hear him obviously having issues.
- Production costs for the tour were a staggering $2.2 million in a music industry that was suffering a major touring and sales slump. There was no shortage of chutzpah in hitting the road at the time with such a massive show.
- Gene Simmons appeared on Orlando's BJ-105FM lunch-time radio from June 14, 1979, amusingly using the "Jumpin' Gene Simmons" moniker. Gene attempts to get people who call in to talk, discusses the cancellation of that day's show (which would have been the first night of the "Dynasty/Return of KISS" tour), and more..
