Notably, Nita Strauss on guitar was immense, blistering lead lines and she really added to the show as she never seemed to stay still, her playing was immaculate and her Guitar Solo about 8 songs in to the 17 song initial set was soaring. This took the show right into Poison, and the Glasgow crowd was in great voice for this epic, timeless hit.
The theatre continued right through Feed My Frankenstein, Cold Ethyl, Only Women Bleed and Paranoiac Personality with Alice getting fitted for a Straight Jacket as the pace changed a bit before singing Ballad Of Dwight Fry.He then played Killer, or just a potion of killer which set them up for the last track of the set with the Tour band, I Love The Dead.
Alice, or should I say Vincent, came back on stage with the original Alice Cooper Band all bedecked in glittering apparel and play 5 classics starting with I’m Eighteen. This was a great bit of the show for the long time Alice fans. They then played Billion Dollar Babies, No More Mr. Nice Guy, Muscle of Love and then……
Well they had to finish with School’s Out, didn’t they?
All in all a very rockin night of metal and glam, theatre, showman and show-womanship. I’ve never seen another band or act put on a show quite as extravagant and indulgent as Alice Cooper and with a 22 song strong set and 2 support bands it was definitely worth the ticket price.
