The first time i saw the man called Alice..was 1972..and people were still scared of him. Hard to believe that parents once perceived him as a dire threat and perverted sociopath..what with the audience at Centennial Terrace that consisted of many families out for a Sunday Rock show! The sheer diverseness of his audience is what has kept the Coop rocking happily into old age. Well..that and the fact that he has so many hit singles that, to this day, play on heavy rotation on every "Classic Rock" station in the country. Gotta admit..for his age..the man still rocks hard enough to show the younguns who started this whole Shock Rock thing. Everyone from Kiss to Marilyn Manson has stolen his schtick. One constant has been Alice's bands...the members have rotated..but he always has top notch musicians, The high point for me..was the torrid guitar battle during the extended jam section..great stuff!! One minor complaint is that, since he has such a catalog of tunes..he resorted to stringing then together as a medley ...and some needed to be played in their entirety. It was great that he dusted off nuggets like "Devils Food" though.As to the theatrics..Alice pulled out every method of dying he's ever used onstage..but it seemed like he just went through the motions..with tongue planted firmly in cheek The music was the real star here...and the thousands in attendance roared enthusiastically thruout the show. Over all..the guy still has it..his vocals are better than ever..a crack band..and decades of experience in working an audience..combined with a staggering array of hits..make this a show worth taking the family to..well..depending on your family that is.........Schools out..completely!!!!

I've seen Alice more than twenty times since 1979. This is by far one of his best tours. Alice is usually killed near the end of each show. This time they killed him three times and he kept coming back for more. No wonder it's called the Theatre of Death tour.
So glad I saw the Halloween show and the one the previous night in Indio. I will never miss an opportunity to see an Alice Cooper concert.

Don't miss Alice this time around. Saw his show on Halloween at Harrah's Rincon - just as good, if not better than the originals back at the Forum, Anahiem etc.....
