Title: Creatures of My Nightmare

In 1975 recorded in California for a King Biscuit Flower Hour this is of course an edited version of the concert of "Welcome To My Nightmare". An incorrect track No. 10 as "Escape" is really "I Love The Dead"...oh yeah I get those two songs mixed up all the time. The quality is very good for a bootleg. Since this is the start of Alice's solo career.

He tours with a new backing band: Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter - guitars, Prakish John - bass, Pentti "Whitey" Glan - drums, Jozef Chirowski - keyboards. Plus his additional performers such as the dancers which include his future wife Sheryl Goddard among others.

Welcome To My Nightmare - July 27, 1975 (radio broadcast)
recorded from King Buscuit Flower Hour

This is the complete show of above's "Creature of My Nightmare".
I have edit out Pioneer commercials that fall between some of the tracks.
I also edited the intro of King Buscuit Flower Hour which was over 2 minutes of Pioneer commercials. These commercials are repeated again during the concert and at the end.

This is the beginning of Alice’s solo performance. Backed by an excellent band the same who played w/ Lou Reed during his ’73 Rock N Roll Animal and Berlin album.

This bootleg is dated wrong. It reads June 18,1975 which Alice did play in L.A. But he later came back on July 27, 1975 to perform for The King Buscuit Flower Hour.
The quality is excellent and I like Alice’s version of I’m Eighteen” . Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner is astounding guitarist and it’s been known that Wagner has worked unaccredited in the studio of previous Alice Cooper albums so this isn’t new to him.
This also includes the guitar solos during an extended “Devil’s Food” that last close to 8 minutes.

Band:
Alice Cooper: Vocals, Steve Hunter: Guitar, Dick Wagner: Guitar
Prakash John: Bass, Pentti "Whitey" Glan: Drums
Jozef Chirowski: Keyboards

Title: One Night of Halloween

Recorded in Saginaw, MI., misdated the correct date is May 10, 1978. This too was recorded for King Biscuit Flower Hour. Alice was doing his "School's Out Summer" tour which consisted of classic tunes and his first three solo records "Welcome To My Nightmare", "Goes To Hell" and "Lace & Whisky".
The quality of this bootleg is also as good as"Creatures of My Nightmare". Of course they have 2 songs on track 7 "Unfinished Suite" followed by "Escape" then for track 8 "I Love The Dead" which isn't listed.

Band: Steve Hunter and Jefferson Kewley - guitars, Dee Murray - bass, Dennis Conaway - drums, Fred Mandel - keyboards. Then you have the dancers.

1978/1980, Saginaw, MI 1978 - El Paso, TX 1980
Title: Live In USA 1978/1980

This CD has two concerts one in Saginaw, MI 1978 and other in El Paso, TX 1980. The Saginaw is from the King Biscuit Flower Hour that I have mentioned above.

The El Paso concert is Alice in his New Wave period from "Flush The Fashion" tour.

Some corrections on the listings. On the Saginaw show they listed track 6 as "What We Are Is What We Are" which is really "You & Me". On the El Paso show they list last track "Wish You Where Here" and list Pink Floyd as song credit is really an instrumental of "Wish You Were Here" from "Goes To Hell" album.

I enjoyed the second half of this CD which was "Flush The Fashion" tour. This was Alice's first time changing his music style over to New Wave. I particular liked "Pain" and "Clones" live. The instrumental "Wish You Were Here" was interesting although I love the lyrics in that song it comes across as maybe the costume change set of the show but is placed at the end. Anyway I don't have many of the New Wave Alice so this was a good one to get considering having the Saginaw concert on it.

Musicians for Saginaw: Steve Hunter and Jefferson Kewley - guitars, Dee Murray - bass, Dennis Conaway - drums, Fred Mandel - keyboards.

The El Paso, Tx concert consist of Mike Pinera and Fred Mandel - guitars, Duanne Hitchings - keyboard & guitar, Erik Scott - bass, Ross Salomone - drums.

1979, April 14, Norman Center,
Oklahoma City, OK

Madhouse Rock tour promoting “From The Inside” album, Alice’s first dry concert after being released from the detox hospital. Quality is pretty good for audience recording. I would say this is one of the better performances from this tour. The intro is a recording of Vincent Price’s voice as he introduces Alice Cooper. Alice covers much from his “From The Inside” lp as well as the classics such as “I’m Eighteen’, “Dead Babies” and “Ballad of Dwight Fry” to name a few. The encore “School’s Out” is about 20 minutes in length as Alice talks to the crowd and introduces the band w/ each member playing a solo. Also Alice says, “Onetime for Keith Moon he would of wanted it that way.”
Also this concert includes ‘All Strapped Up’ a number that isn’t on any album. Alice only performed this song during this tour. This song is a sort of 1920’s ragtime style.

Alice plays w/ his new back up band that he calls “Ultra Latex”.

Performers: Steve Hunter: Guitar, Davey Johnstone: Guitar, Prakash (Johnny Stiletto) John: Bass, Pentti “Whitey” Glan: Drums, Fred Mandel: Keyboards

1979, April 17, Centerplex, Baton Rouge, LA

Not as clear compared to the April 14th concert but listen able. Also some audience chatter, which really bugs me.
‘Dead Babies’ gets cut off and Disc 2 starts off w/ ‘Ballad of Dwight Fry’ already in progress.

1980, Coliseum, El Paso, TX

Westwood One for broadcast on the radio program SUPERSTARS IN CONCERT.
Live at the Coliseum, El Paso, TX on June 4, 1980.
Flush The Fashion Tour. This is a full 2 CD show along w/ 4 short Alice interview inserts that are between 30 seconds to 1 minute in length.
The quality is excellent since it’s a professional recording from Westwood Radio.
I previously have the incomplete concert titled Live In USA 1978/1980 bootleg version.
I don’t have much of Alice’s New Wave concerts so it’s a pleasure to hear & have this concert. Alice plays a number of songs from his Flush The Fashion lp such as Grim Facts, Pain (he kind of forgets some of the lyrics), Talk Talk, Clones, Nuclear Infected, and Dance Yourself To Death.
Alice does an interesting version of Billion Dollar Babies leading into I Love The Dead then back to Billion Dollar Babies finish very interesting. Great show.

Band: Mike Pinera and Fred Mandel - guitars, Duanne Hitchings - keyboard & guitar, Erik Scott - bass, Ross Salomone - drums.

1980, July 26, Castle Farms Music Center, Charlesvoix, MI

Flush The Fashion tour is one of the rare recordings. I know I planned to see Alice perform at an outdoor concert in New Hampshire along w/ Garland Jefferys and some other New Wave artist only to be canceled.

This concert in MI., has some interruptions near the beginning like the first song 'Model Citizen' but besides that this is a pretty good concert. They were having problems w/ the crowd rushing the stage as they announce a number of times to step back because right after 'Guilty' they made Alice leave the stage. Then the MC announces Alice back again on stage to finish the rest of the concert. It seems when Alice came back the band sounded a lot better. They also do a good version to 'Gutter Cats Vs The Jets' that sounded a little different or maybe updated to there new wave sound. His backing band was very talented and it was good to hear the songs from 'Flush the Fashion' live. I enjoyed the introduction to the band during 'School's Out' .

1981, August 6, Uptown Theatre, Chicago, IL

This concert is pretty much like the the popular '82 Glasgow, Scotland show. For an audience recording it's pretty good. It sounds more like a soundboard recording. You can't hear anyone talking during and inbetween songs. "School's Out" is 15 minutes long including introduction to the band as they play a little solo. I was never crazy about this part of the concert I rather have them just play the song. Beside that great concert.

Includes Mike Pinera and Fred Mandel - guitars, Wayne Cook - keyboards, Erik Scott - bass, Jan Uvena - drums.

1982, February 19, Glasgow, Scotland
Title: The Coop: Model Citizen?
(Radio Broadcast)

Shown as Glasgow, Scotland Feb. 2, 1982 is really February 19, 1982 from radio broadcast. A concert from "Special Forces" tour, Alice's New Wave period. The quality is very good since it was recorded from a radio broadcast. Alice sounds great as he goes through his newer songs at the time as from "Flush The Fashion" and "Special Forces" album. Plus Alice sings some of his classics with a newer style.
I have a complete version of this program and it list three more tracks, "Pain", Billion Dollar Babies, and "Vicous Rumours" as the closing out song.

Includes Mike Pinera and John Nitzinger- guitars, Wayne Cook - keyboards, Erik Scott - bass, Jan Uvena - drums.

The edition on the end of this CD is Rock Legends 1978 from Detroit 101 WRIF radio show. This consist of 5 minute or so history of Alice Cooper with a brief Alice snippet followed by a 1978 concert version of "Under My Wheels".

1982, February 19, Glasgow, Scotland
(complete show)

This is the complete show the radio special that I listed above this review. The songs that weren’t aired on the radio probably due to time constraints are “Pain”, “Billion Dollar Babies” and closing out w/ a little “Vicious Rumours” are on this recording.
During Alice’s New Wave period this show was the “Special Forces” tour. The band gave the older songs a new sound as well as Alice’s albums during that time. This concert is one of my favorites. Alice does an excellent version of “I’m Eighteen” w/ some guitar jamming.
Also “Generation Landslide” has some real excellent extended instrumental work. But to top it all off is “School’s Out” as Alice introduces the band and they all play a brief solo. Guitarist Mike Pinera goes into “Vicious Rumours” right at the end as Alice sings a few lines from the song.
Alice does a good mix of playing some of his newer material like songs from “Flush the Fashion” and “Special Forces” . Plus relying on his classics to please the audience. As I noted above the band brings a fresh sound to the classics. It really is an excellent concert.

Band: John Nitzinger: guitar, Erik Scott: bass, Jan Uvena: drums, Mike Pinera: guitar, Wayne Cook: keyboards

1986, November 23, Wembley Arena,
London, England

Known as The Nightmare Returns, The Constrictor Tour. This is Alice’s return to shock rock w/ his new band and album ‘Constrictor’. Covering some of the classics like ‘Billion Dollar Babies’, ‘Elected’, and ‘Under My Wheels’. You get 3 songs from ‘Constrictor’ which are ‘The World Needs Guts’, ‘Give It Up’ and ‘Teenage Frankenstein’. The new band brings more heavy metal sound to the classics, which isn’t a bad thing just breathing new life into them. Only thing is the interruption on ‘Ballad of Dwight Fry’ which is in the last minute of the song. This may be from the tape ending and having to flip it over. Besides that the quality is very good.

The band consist of muscle man Kane Roberts on guitar, Kip Winger on bass before he broke out on his own in the 80’s, Devlin 7 aka Johnny Dime who’s real name is Arthur Funaro on guitar, Paul Horowitz aka Paul Horrors now known as Paul Taylor on keyboards and underrated Ken Mary on drums who later formed the band Fifth Angel in the 80’s.

Title: Under The Blade
(edited of above concert)

This vinyl bootleg is from London's Wembley Arena, Nov. 23, 1986. This is Alice's "Constrictor" tour with his new heavy metal band. Kane Roberts and Devlin 7 - guitars, Devlin 7 also known as Johnny Dime on "Raise Your Fist & Yell" tour, was actually Arthur Funaro. Kip Winger - bass, Paul Horowitz - keyboards, Horowitz was renamed Paul Horror. Paul later changed his name to Paul Taylor. Ken Mary - drums. Plus additional performers like dancer, nurse, executioner, etc.

So since Alice comes back with a more metal sounding band they also like the New Wave band give a heavy sound to some of the old classics. Audio quality has a sort of tinny sound to it.

1987, March 6, Cincinnati Gardens,

The Nightmare Returns (Constrictor Tour)
This was actually record for radio broadcast as a Superstar Series Concert Program.
So the quality is very good. Now I’m not too sure if there was some editing. The only song left out was “Teenage Frankenstein” that was included in this tour.
It’s the same track order from The Nightmare Returns DVD.

The band is very tight and has that 80's metal sound sound to the classic songs. No one really mentions it but I think Ken Mary is an excellent drummer. I even enjoy his work on his band Fifth Angel that produced 2 lps afterwards.

1987, Nov 10, Hudson Arena,
Poughkeepsie, NY

Raise Your Fist & Yell tour starts off w/ ‘Teenage Frankenstein’ that is longer than the album version due to Alice theatrics of him making a monster. Quality is good. Alice performing w/ his ‘splatter’ rock band gives a very heavy metal sound to the songs although I can’t but help hearing “RYF&Y” sound in some of the classics. I do like hearing ‘Killer’ this song hasn’t been covered live in years. Of course you have the ‘School’s Out’ introduction to the band by Alice, which brings it to about a 10 minute song. They close w/ ‘Freedom’ and ‘Under My Wheels’ In all a great concert to see as well.

1987 - Nov 11th, WBYR Interview Buffalo N.Y. w/ Alice Cooper & Kane Roberts
promoting and "Raise Your Fist & Yell" album and Tour.

This recording has Alice & Kane talking about the new album and tour as well as spinning some of their favorite songs from other artists and some tracks from 'RYF&Y' CD.
The interview is pretty funny as Alice & Kane goof around as they take callers. Some funny bits but nothing informative just 2 musicians letting their hair down and enjoying themselves.
There are 2 edits on Disc 2. The beginning of Disc 2 you miss a Led Zeppelin song and the end of disc as they are just about to play Kane Roberts 'Rag Doll' track from his solo CD cuts out to end this recording. Don't know how much was missing but you have over an hour of interview & music. About 36 minutes on Disc 1 and 45 minutes on Disc 2.

Recorded from an audience this concert at times goes high & low. Also has a tinny sound to it. The “Raise Your Fist & Yell” tour was on of most theatrical shows Alice brought back to the stage. You also have (Rambo) Kane Roberts on guitar. If you have “Prime Cuts” DVD you could view some of the numbers from this tour.
A very Metal concert as the band gives a heavier sound. You also have some instrumental parts or extended play such as beginning of “Chop, Chop, Chop”, “Killer” when Alice heads for the gallows. During “School’s Out” Alice introduces the band as they play a lil’ solo.

What? The title sounds like a Hot Chili Pepper line. I have no idea what this title means! Recorded in Birmingham, England Dec 14, 1989.
Taken from the "Trash" tour that was from "Alice Cooper Trashes The World" VHS so the quality is very good. Alice tours with the following musicians Al Piterelli and Pete Friesen - guitars, Jonathon Mover - drums, Tommy Carradonna - bass, Derek Sherinian - keyboards.
Not mentioned is "Ballad of Dwight Fry" which follows track 9.
