Vinyl 2LP * not credited on LP. |
Double live vinyl from Ellenfeldstadion/Neunkirchen a.d. Saar...simply put Germany, July 14, 1990. This is one of the worst bootlegs I heard on vinyl. You have a lot of hand clapping and people talking near the mic. Usually bootlegs like this are from fans in the audience but to actually have someone take this and put it on vinyl is a waste of good plastic. The only thing rare about this is Alice singing "Only My Heart Talking" which he hasn't done live any other show. That's the reason I bought it. They note "Hello Hooray" as the first song but it wasn't played during that show. What happened it was on the P.A. before the concert. Some errors in the titles like "Steven" is titled "Screamin" and they left off a number of others. Unfortunately side one skips a lot as for the other sides they do skip but not as bad. The band I believe is pretty much the same as the previous "Waiting Till The Edge Kiss My Neck" bootleg. |  |
1991- Sept 13, 1. No More Mr. Nice Guy
|
Recorded on Sept 13th later broadcast on October
31, 1991, this was a small audience recording of Alice in Electric Lady
Studio for a radio concert. There are some bootlegs out there that are
mislabeled as Electric Ladyland. There is no “Land” just “Lady”
but that’s typical of bootleggers mislabeling items. Promoting his ‘Hey Stoopid’ album Alice performs a few numbers such as ‘Wind Up Toy’ one of my favorites from that album, Feed My Frankenstein, and 'Loves A Loaded Gun'. There is a sort of medley where Alice starts out w/ ‘Only Women Bleed’ then leads into ‘Wind Up Toy’, ‘Ballad of Dwight Fry’ and back to an instrumental closing of ‘Only Women Bleed’ that was very interesting to hear. Also they extend the intro to ‘Cold Ethyl’ w/ a bit more drums. The quality of this show is good since it’s from the radio. This recording later came out on extra disc from the Japanese Import ‘The Last Temptation’ CD. Also you may come across a few cuts on B-sides. Band: Stef Burns & Pete Friesen – guitar, Greg Smith – bass, Eric Singer – drums, Derek Sherinian – keyboards. |

Santiago, Chile on September 7, 1995 this concert was also on Chile TV so the recording of this bootleg is very good. I also have the video to this and it's a professionally shot with all the camera angles. Titled as "Alice Cooper's Rock and Roll Carnival" this concert includes some of the tunes from "The Last Temptation" album. One of the finest records by Alice in a long time. There are some mistakes as on the credits. Track 5 is listed as "Killer" is "Desperado" and track 9 is "Cleansed By Fire" they printed "Burn It Down" a simple mistake...NOT! Also during track 10 "Go To Hell" leads into an instrumental of "Black Widow", "Steven" and ends back with "Black Widow". The band is pretty good with this medley of tunes. "Elected" includes the band introductions as George Bush on guitar, Richard Nixon on bass, Ronald Regan on keyboards, next President Jimmy Degrasso, lead guitar Bill Clinton. I think this would of gone over better in the States. I don't think many people know the US Presidents as much as we know theirs. In closing this is one of the finer bootlegs to purchase if you have a chance. The band at this time was Reb Beach and Ryan Roxie - guitars, Jimmy Degrasso - drums, Paul Taylor - keyboards & guitar, Todd Jensen - bass. The Chile concert also included Alice's wife Sheryl assisting on stage performance. For a bootleg the artwork is damn good. The booklet opens as four panels with some cool Alice photos. The CD has a picture on it with Alice in a white top hat splattered in blood and coat holding a cane. |

1997

This is one of the best interviews
w/ Alice Cooper. Interviewer Ed Bicknell asks some good questions which
Alice gives very colorful stories on meeting Elvis, Hendrix, hanging
out w/ Keith Moon, John Lennon and many other celebrities. Alice also
takes questions from audience that ask everything from the original
band to playing w/ Chris Cornell on ‘The Last Temptation’
album which is the current record out at the time. About 70 minutes
interview w/ Q&A, Alice doesn’t seem to slow down on his stories
it makes you wish it was longer. You can tell Alice enjoys talking to
the fans and appreciates them as in the closing interview you can hear
Alice asking do you want me to sign some stuff. It shows he really is
Mr. Nice Guy. |
