Alice Cooper solely performed dwell on The Midnight Particular as soon as, however when he lastly did – in early 1979 – it was really one thing else.
The Detroit man had been interviewed on the present in August 1976 as a part of a two-part “Tribute To Alice Cooper” section, however three years later he arrived within the wake of 1978’s controversial From The Inside album with full band in tow, and hosted the present with a particular visitor, legendary DJ Wolfman Jack.
It was not like different exhibits. The Wolfman interviewed Cooper earlier than he performed Inmates (We’re All Loopy) from the brand new album, however Cooper wore a masks over his masks in order that his responses had been muffled. And there was a weird fantasy skit that concerned a straightjacketed Alice being held in a cage whereas disco dancers enthusiastically boogied.
Cooper carried out two extra tracks from From The Inside, the title observe and Critical, and revisited his again catalogue for 3 classics: 1975’s Solely Ladies Bleed, 1973’s Billion Greenback Infants, and 1970’s I am Eighteen. And it is the latter that is simply been added to The Midnight Particular‘s ever-growing YouTube archive.
You must assume that the remainder of the set will probably be added to the archive quickly, however it is a nice begin, with a band that includes Elton John’s common guitarist Davey Johnstone alongside three musicians who’d performed on 1975’s Welcome To My Nightmare: the legendary rhythm partnership of bassist Prakash John on bass and drummer Whitey Glan, plus keyboardist Jozef Chirowski.
Reside In Rio, the brand new album from Cooper’s supergroup Hollywood Vampires, is out right now. Hollywood Vampires’ European tour begins on June 8 in Romania. Full dates beneath.
