ALICE COOPER (+ Halestorm) BETHEL, NY August 8, 2019 - Videos and Photos concert review

I've reviewed Alice Cooper quite a few times before and because I have a bit of a backlog of recent shows I'm trying to post photos and videos about, this one will mainly be a videos and photos review for Alice Cooper this past Thursday, August 8, 2019, at Bethel Woods in Bethel, NY.  

Other than a few notes, I'll let the two videos and 40 or so photos do the talking below.



At this point it seems like Alice hits the area about twice a year and it's always a great new stage show and changed up setlist.



For this show I shot a video of one of the classics, "No More Mr. Nice Guy", as well as one they haven't played in over a decade, "Desperado".  Here's the links to those two videos and if you dig them, please subscribe to my Youtube channel.

"No More Mr. Nice Guy:"

"Desperado:"

Halestorm opened the show and I have a full video and photos review of them (click here) if you want to check those out, but you'll also see in the photos below that Lzzy Hale stuck around and came out for the encore of "School's Out."



This is just one of those great summer bills.  Motionless in White opened the night, but unfortunately we missed them although I heard only good things from those where were there.



So as I said, not much talking this time, enjoy the videos and photos and subscribe to my youtube channel and join our Facebook page.  Keep rockin and enjoy.

ALICE COOPER Albany, NY October 4, 2018 - Concert Review with Photos and Videos

This show was a last minute decision.  Saw Alice Cooper was in town, seen him of plenty of times before and he and his band never disappoint, so let's do this

There was no opening act and Alice hit the stage at about 8:15 or so.  It was nice to have an early show on a Sunday.  Alice opened with "Brutal Planet" and had the whole audience on their feet for the whole show from the moment the lights went down.

Alice then immediately went into a trio of three classics starting with "No More Mr. Nice Guy."

Then "Under My Wheels"

Followed by "Billion Dollar Babies"

Alice went for a deep cut next with "Grim Facts" off of 1980's "Flush The Fashion." Here's Alice with one of his three guitarists in his great band, Ryan Roxie

Next up was one of my favorite "new" songs "Lost in America".  I say "new" because I realize as I write this that it actually came out in 1994 which is 24 years ago.  Well either way, it's fun and catchy as all hell.  

Another deeper cut with "Serious" from 1978's "From The Inside" was another treat for the long time diehard fans.

We then got a taste of their latest album "Paranormal" with "Fallen In Love"

Then another 21st century track with "Woman of Mass Distraction" off 2005's "Dirty Diamonds" which was followed by guitarist Nita Strauss' solo.

Next up was Alice's 1989 MTV hit "Poison"

Alice went back to 1971 next for "Halo of Flies" which featured a great drum solo by Glen Sobel.

"Feed My Frankenstein" was next and is one of production highlights of the show.  Here's the video I shot below:


Alice then busted out "Cold Ethyl", singing to her, dancing with her and all the while abusing her in the loving way only Alice can.

The love songs continued with the classic "Only Women Bleed" next

Another song from the newest album "Paranoiac Personality" was next before the biggest production highlight of the night. (Pictured is bassist Chuck Garric)


Alice came out in his straight jacket joined by his nurse (played by his daughter Calico Cooper) to tell the tale of the "Ballad of Dwight Fry" during which the guillotine is rolled out and Alice gets beheaded as the band plays a partial version of "Killer" and "I Love The Dead".  Here is the video I shot of the whole thing.

The main set then ended with "I'm Eighteen" with the whole crowd singing along.


After a few minutes, the band came back out to encore with "School's Out" (a bit of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" thrown in).


During the song Alice introduced the whole band including guitarist Tommy Henriksen who got some extra love as he is from Albany.


The show ended with streamers shooting out over the crowd at just before 10pm.  A great show to end the weekend.
