As had been the case with the previous album, plenty of material was immediately added to the set for the "Lick It Up" tour: "Exciter," "Lick It Up," "Young And Wasted," "Gimme More," and "Fits Like A Glove" were all first performed live, Oct. 11, 1983. "All Hell's Breakin' Loose" followed in January 1984. Paul Stanley also (finally!) dusted off "A Million To One" for his 2006/7 solo tour.
