Alice Cooper - The original 2015 reunion show
Classic live reunion recording to be released
Formed in 1968, the original Alice Cooper band forged a theatrical brand of Hard Rock that was destined to shock and had never been seen before. Within five years they would release no fewer than seven studio albums, amongst them their international breakthrough 'School's Out' (including the top ten hit of the same name) and the US No.1 'Billion Dollar Babies' (1973). By 1974, the band had risen to the upper echelon of Rock stardom... and then it dissolved.
In October 2015, over fourty years later, record store owner and superfan Chris Penn convinced the original line-up to reunite for a very special performance at Good Records, his record store in Dallas, Texas, USA. Alice Cooper (Vocals), Michael Bruce (Guitar), Dennis Dunaway (Bass) and Neal Smith (Drums) were joined on stage by Alice’s current guitarist Ryan Roxie (standing in for the late Glen Buxton). A packed audience was expecting to attend Dennis Dunaway’s 'Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!’ book signing… but they ended up witnessing a full blown happening.
The legendary reunion show including all time classics such as 'No More, Mr. Nice Guy', 'I’m Eighteen' and 'School’s Out', is now becoming available for the very first time Worldwide on September 30th, 2022. Luckily, the event was also filmed.
The documentary movie 'Live drom the Astroturf, Alice Cooper' (edited and directed by Steven Gaddis) was very warmly welcomed at Film Festivals all over the World by music fans as well as Rock journalists. The documentary won multiple awards for its coverage of the historic event. The movie is included in the live album’s first print CD and Vinyl, and this is must for any Alice Cooper fan.
