Alice Cooper
(Tour/Backstage/Private-photos 1973-75)
Photos by Wolfgang >>Bubi<< Heilmann  Germany Photographer Wolfgang >>Bubi<< Heilmann publishes his work of Alice Cooper starting w/ the 1973 Billion Dollar Babie Tour that includes the original Alice Cooper Group. I have to say I am kind of particle to those years. Mainly because I never got to see the original band also I think it was the time when Alice was in his prime. Making hits and controversy on the way to the top. I believe in the first couple of pages is Alice during his "School's Out" tour in '72. I say this cause he's wearing the gold glitter pants w/ the leather vest that is really the harness used to hang Alice w/ a safety hook on the back. I remember reading that Alice liked wearing that vest. Then there are the photos that I believe were in Bravo, a German Music magazine. These are the pics of Alice w/ a red background posing w/ Yvonne his snake. Then comes the "Billion Dollar Babies" tour 1973. You may recognize some of the stage show that you have seen on the DVD "Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper". Also there are some brief text that describes what was going on at the time. Also a section that includes the Surrealist Artist Salvador Dali and Alice Cooper press meeting. In 1975 was the start of Alice's solo career featuring his "Welcome To My Nightmare" Tour. There are many behind the scene photos throughout the book such as Alice on the plane, in a limo, Bravo publication office etc... Only thing I notice that some photos are out of order such as the dates. You have Alice photos from "72 then one from '75 and next page '73. But in most part they are mostly placed in order just a few that I have no idea why they did it. |
