   European tour notes

• During Tommy Thayer's solo after "She", rockets shot from his guitar neck as Ace Frehley had done previously.
• Kiss agreed to play double dates in Helsinki after the first show sold out the venue in under seven minutes. The extra show was scheduled for the previous day.
• For several German shows, the Kiss logo on the tour program was censored due to the SS at the end of the word Kiss looking too similar to the Nazi symbol for the Schutzstaffel, which was also two angular S's. The S's were made to look more traditional and less angular.
• In Bergen and Athens, Paul Stanley didn't fly out over the audience during "Love Gun".
• In Athens, Gene Simmons performed "God of Thunder" instead of "I Love It Loud" after his solo.
• In Verona, Kiss received from Music Empire Awards a 35 platinum Award for their career of 35 years.

  North American tour notes

• "Cold Gin", "I Was Made for Lovin' You", and Gene Simmons' bass solo in "I Love It Loud" were not performed at the Konocti Harbor show on August 31 due to wind conditions.
• In Milwaukee on June 27, 2009, and in Paso Robles, California on July 28, 2009 Paul Stanley talked about Kiss' new album after "Hotter Than Hell" and he didn't fly over the audience during "Love Gun".
• In Sarnia on July 10, 2009 on Kiss sets a Bayfest attendance record of over 22,000.
• At the Bluesfest on July 15, 2009 in Ottawa, Kiss played to over 42,000.
• In Quebec City on July 16, 2009, Kiss played to a crowd of over 90,000.
• In Paso Robles on July 28, 2009 and in Montreal on October 1, 2009 Paul Stanley didn't fly over the audience.
• In Toronto on October 2, 2009, during the opening song "King of the Night Time World" the power went out in the Air Canada Centre, although they did finish the show.
• In Greenville, South Carolina on October 17, "Shock Me" and "Calling Dr. Love" were played for the first time on the American leg of the tour.
• In Philadelphia, on October 12, during Gene's bass solo, he spat blood AFTER he flew up onto the platform above. He also brought back the clock bell and the white light that hadn't been used since the Creatures of the Night Tour which adds a more frightening effect to his performance.
• In Atlanta, on October 26, Kiss performed "Say Yeah" off the Sonic Boom album for the first time ever live.
• In Winnipeg on November 9, a concussion bomb caught fire after "Black Diamond" and continued to burn for several minutes. To kill time, Kiss improvised and Simmons began to play the bassline for "Firehouse": the other members eventually joined in. The song was sung by drummer Eric Singer as the others could not access their mics while the crew dropped down the row of lights to extinguish the flame.
• On November 25, 2009, the show at the Staples Center was aired online live. The show got over 200,000 viewers.
• On November 28, 2009 in Las Vegas, Paul Stanley did not fly over the audience during "Love Gun".
• On December 4, 2009 in Austin, Texas, Kiss did not play "Shout It Out Loud" being the only date they didn't play it.

• During the Reunion Tour in 96, Ace Frehley fired rockets into the light truss during his solo. When the rocket reached the lights, there would be an explosion and a piece of the light rigging would fall. It's all part of the act. On this 2009 tour Tommy Thayer has adopted the same effect during his guitar solo.
• Paul Stanley teasing the crowd with "Stairway to Heaven" became a regular in the Alive 35 Shows.
• Tommy Thayer's Gibson Explorer was used in all encores of the Alive 35 tour, stating "I've been playing this guitar during our encores as a change of pace from my workhorse Les Pauls".
• During "Lick It Up" the band broke out "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who with Paul Stanley doing Roger Daltrey's yell.
• Songs such as "King of the Night time World", "Shock Me", "Cold Gin", "I Stole Your Love", "Strutter", "Calling Dr. Love" and "Nothin' to Lose"'' were songs that varied throughout the tour.

  South American tour notes

• Paul Stanley teased Buenos Aires', Lima's, Bogotá's and Caracas' audience with fragments of "Guantanamera" and "Cucurrucucú Paloma" before playing "Rock and Roll All Nite".
• "Love Gun" was not played at the Rio de Janeiro show due to rain conditions.
• Paul Stanley salutes the audience with "Yo no hablo muy bien español, pero conozco tus sentimientos y mi corazón es suyo". He used the same phrase in their 1994 and 1997 visits.
• A day before the performance in Peru, the band were seen sightseeing and learning about the Peruvian culture.
• In Buenos Aires, Argentina the cable that was rising Simmons failed. Simmons said shortly after, "We put our lives on the line on a nightly basis all for you!", which was met with cheers from the crowd. Simmons also saluted the audience saying "Santiago" instead of "Buenos Aires". You can notice this on the Sonic Boom Bonus DVD.
• In Bogota, Colombia, the band plays Forever for the first time in more than 5 years.
