At that era's ticket prices, we were told, we weren't making anywhere near the money that the media was reporting, as in The New Tycoons (Cover of Forbes Magazine), because we were putting our money back into the show, which meant the stage. At the beginning of one of the chapters in your book, you...

I had a bootleg of this show and like most boots, the sound was less than appealing, but enough to do the job. Thank You again for the footage. You're welcome. I know of at least 2 bootleg taken from this Tour: the one you mention from this show and one that I have from Utica. The sound quality of ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk6elBf0FFo This is Super8 footage so unfortunately it's silent, but still, it's amazing to FINALLY find out about and view footage from the Dec. 1973 BDB Holiday Tour. The footage appears to be (some) highlights from the show and as an aside, this was one of several...

^^ I agree with both of PFOLGORE's comments above.

Personally (and with no special insight or info) I don't think you will ever get the reunion you want to see. What you *may* get at some point is an album based around the original band (but likely with guests as well), and a very short "tour" ie New York, LA, London, Detroit and a few other select...

I don't think Alice's words here is any different to what has happened on the last few albums (and very different to MB's statements). There are songs written and recorded with the original guys which may or may not be used at some point and in some form. That's been the case for a decade and no re...

The word now appears to be coming out regarding Alice and the other Original Group Members working together, therefore I'm posting this link: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/alice-cooper-group-new-music/ Unfortunately, once again it looks like what has, is and will be transpiring falls short of expe...

I always listen to AC music via YouTube or CDs. I too buy AC vinyl exclusively for the packaging.

In the "extended" performance version of I'm Eighteen in the Beat Club vid. (1972), Alice sings some lyrics/lines from American Pie toward the end of the song. I would tend to consider that it was more of a 'tribute' of sorts to the song, which would tend to lessen the likelihood of there being any ...

Duplicate post deleted.

The Teenage Lament promo was filmed in New York on December 1st 1973, a lot of it inside and outside the Academy of Music, where coincidentally exactly 2 years earlier they played 2 shows in one night. Here’s the highest quality version you will see on the web https://youtu.be/3lwXsL4FaiM Thanks St...

I've never particularly liked the Elected promo film either. I like the promo film for Teenage Lament '74 more, and I believe it was also filmed in NYC. Though I couldn't see the correlation between 'the ACG as prison jailbirds who escape' visuals and the song topic, it made for some interesting vis...

Based on the new material released over the past 22 years the new record will blow chunks... If it wasn't for the ACG songs written in the 70's he'd have no one show up at his concerts. If it wasn't for Poison he'd have no one show up at his concerts. And that my friend unlike your statement, is a ...

What I think is the Holy Grail of footage would be the full song from Diary Of A Mad Housewife. The final edit of the actual film is a mere glimpse of the rip-roaring performance that we watched on a big screen during the film crew's daily rushes. Astute ACG Fans like myself are aware that not all ...

It would be great if a DVD of the entire In Concert show with that level of quality could be included but unfortunately, as you state and is often the case, the cost of adding that footage (in full) is too much. Ted To be clear, it isn't the FULL show (afaik), just what was originally aired. I see....

You do know this was done by Friday Music just a couple of months ago? New vinyl issue complete with desk and panties. Yes; sorry, I should have clarified: I'm also hoping for additional audio content. A 5.1 mix has been suggested here; I'm still holding out for a live album plus at least 1 or 2 ot...

SO would make a great re-release largely due to the opportunity to restore all of the original packaging. Ted You do know this was done by Friday Music just a couple of months ago?

SO would make a great re-release largely due to the opportunity to restore all of the original packaging. Hopefully it will still happen at some point and yes, as this year is the 50th anniversary of the original release...

A thoughtful, proactive move on Alice's part. Kudos to him for taking that step.
