Theatre of Death Live Hammersmith DVD CD
Alice gets executed not once but 4 times! Starting at the beginning of the show and through out the concert. Alice wanted to turn the show upside down. This wasn’t your typical Alice concert where he sings a bunch of songs and comes out w/ the usual props you all know & love. Even the songs are arranged out of order. School’s Out was the opening number then right after that Alice get’s his head chopped off. This goes on through out the show. Next is a giant syringe, impaled in metal box and then hanged at the gallows. Now you know why they say “They keep killing him…and he keeps coming back!”
The songs are pretty good choice. He brings back a few songs “From The Inside” album we haven’t heard in a while. Only one song from latest “Along Came A Spider” release that is “Vengeance Is Mine”. It’s just a shame Alice didn’t do a whole “Along Came A Spider” tour. As I said before that was a very good album and very disappointed Alice didn’t do a full blown tour. He had all the songs that would make a good theatrical performance but…Theatre of Death is the next best thing visually.
The CD trys to cram all the songs from the concert on one CD. To do this they edited certain songs by shorten them or cutting them off to segue into the next number. This was disappointing. I rather have an edited version & cut out a few tracks rather than hearing a digest version of them. This CD I wouldn’t plan on playing often.

Artwork:
The packaging of the DVD/CD comes to you in duel CD case. The cover is from “Along Came A Spider” promos I guess making the recording wasn’t a total loss they used some of artwork. Only problem is the credits and liner notes are in red & white. The red type is hard to read on a red background. Same goes for the DVD/CD disc itself. It’s very hard to read. The CD booklet opens up into a small poster. Same image as the cover w/ the header reading “They keep killing him…and he keeps coming back!” Below list the venue and date of the concert along w/ some 2 newspaper quotes Quad City Times and KC Confidential.
The other side of the poster is a collage of photos from the concert.
Back of the CD case are 4 small photos of the concert w/ song list and credits.
