'Billion Dollar Babies', 'Go To Hell', '18', 'Welcome To My Nightmare', 'Poison'....the list goes on.
When people think ALICE COOPER the following words / emotions might come to mind: Shock, Horror, Show, Snakes, Death, Dark, School's out, Legend? YES...This Sunday I witnessed my first ever Alice Cooper gig and all I can really say is when's the next one? Like the Sold Out venue, expectations were high. Cooper is the King of Shock Rock and his delivery of more than just a concert filled with great tracks is standard. The crowd expect and demand a show, a production worthy of his reputation and this is what was promised this past Sunday. From the intro of 'School's Out' which rang with a school bell to reminisce any fan back to those days of pencil fiddling and table scratching ,to the mystifying 'Welcome to my Nightmare', Alice and the band delivered a set list to please any hard core fan. The tracks were heavily laden on the 1970's Alice with only some tracks from the 90's and 00's to be heard, but this choice of set list was one of many hundred combinations that Alice could have come conjured and would have still satisfied and worked marvellously with the production that was on offer. 4 Deaths, various costumes and a horribly attractive nurse coupled with classic songs made this a nightmare to remember. The band were terrific as they tore through the tracks with justice and some slight revamping, the sound was great, crowd even better and Mr Cooper is showing no signs of slowing down, and with the rumours that the concert is to be released on DVD/Blu-ray next spring...what could be better?
