EPISODE 385: "SONIC BOOM OVER EUROPE TOUR”
This week Tom & Zeus review the 2010 Sonic Boom Over Europe Tour which was in support of their 19th studio album, "Sonic Boom."
This is SIOL's 13th KISS tour reviewed. Sonic Boom was released on October 6, 2009 and the tour began on May 1, 2010 in Sheffield, England in and ended at the Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium on June 27, 2010.
This tour was with the final KISS lineup of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer. The tour was strictly in Europe. When the support of the album went to the United States it was referred as the Hottest Show On Earth Tour, which SIOL already covered on Episode 121.
The stage was different from the Alive 35 tour and featured a huge HD video screen and KISS updated costumes which modernized their 1970's look with a variety of different items.
The setlist featured 3 new songs from Sonic Boom, Modern Day Delilah which opened the show, Say Yeah and I'm An Animal, and many of the classic songs from KISS.
As usual, the guys breakdown the costumes, stage, set list and overall tour. They then rank the costumes, stage, set list and overall tour against the previous tours reviewed so far.
So tune in and hear about a tour where KISS actually added songs to a setlist!
