“Love, cuts deep as a laser” Ivan Dryer and Alice Cooper
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2021 2:13 am
Hi Dennis,
Years ago i was reading about Ivan Dryer the creator of the laser light show, he gave an interview on a website where he claimed:
“There was one friend with a technical background, Charlie McDanald, who saw some potential and began to work with me as my new partner. So in 1972 we set about building projectors, including four small helium-neon units for a rock tour with Alice Cooper – the first use of lasers for a rock tour.”
When i posted an amazing photo of him with lasers around his head on Facebook with some info, Cindy commented that it was considered using lasers on the Billion Dollar Babies tour, but thought to be too dangerous.
It always looked like there were lasers as opposed to just ordinary lights coming out of the eyes of the Egyptian Sarcophagus, behind Neal’s kit during 'My Stars’.
Have you any more inside info on this?
Here is that interview in full
