For over 50 years rock legend Alice Cooper has rocked and shocked audiences with his octane hard rock and even on a few albums metal. Cooper to this day remains a force in music and is still incredible.
Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare album was a classic, and his supporting tour was amazing, yet the video documenting that tour is downright awful. As interesting as the tour might have been, the video and audio quality on the tape are so horrible that viewers will have a hard time deciding which song is playing and figuring out if the colorful frogman running around on stage is Alice Cooper, a dancer or a band member.
This film is an Alice Cooper concert at the Wembley Arena in London from 1975. It probably does help to be a fan of Alice Cooper to watch this film (in the same way as people who dislike ballet will probably not care that they have just seen a really good ballet because it will still do nothing for them).
When Alice went solo in 1975, he became an even bigger commercial success than before. Instead of five inebriated rock'n'roll dudes on stage, there was only one, and he was buoyed up by a professional team of musicians and dancers.
I saw this in either the late 70s or early 80s on television in Pennsylvania on a horror movie program. At that time, I was getting over the fear of him, or actually the snakes.
I was surprised that nobody bothered to comment on this film... so I thought I should say just a few words to make a start.
I seen this one a couple of years ago, and it is always fun to watch. Alice Cooper made this as a last ditch attempt to rise his career from the ashes after the classic Alice Cooper Band dissolved.
