'''B'z LIVE-GYM 2017-2018''' is a [[LIVE-GYM]] by [[B'z]] that took place from December 14, 2017 through February 4, 2018 in support of their twentieth studio album ''[[DINOSAUR]]''.

As was the case with 2015's -EPIC NIGHT- LIVE-GYM, the tour was announced months early without a title, in June.

This LIVE-GYM marks the second time a tour spans two years, with the last being B'z LIVE-GYM '91~'92 "IN THE LIFE" twenty-five years ago. It is also one of the few tours to take place in the winter, with B'z LIVE-GYM 2011 -C'mon- being the most recent prior.
The setlist remained consistent, with only "Don't Leave Me" and "MOTEL" alternating throughout the tour, with "MOTEL" last performed five years ago in B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free-.

"FIREBALL" was revived after 15 years, having last appeared in B'z LIVE-GYM 2002 "Rock n' California Roll". "Akai Kawa" also made a rare reappearance for the first time in 23 years, making its debut outside of 1994's THE 9TH BLUES tour.
Fan favorite "Kodoku no Runaway" makes a comeback after nine years of absence, marking only its second time being played in an album tour - A similar situation also occurred with "OH! GIRL", another staple of Pleasure tours, where it was selected for inclusion in the setlist of B'z LIVE-GYM 2008 "ACTION" nearly a decade prior.
