In Concert 1972

[Jason]

The first time I've seen these up on Youtube:

Killer:

My favorite live version of this song!

School's Out:

"You know what?"

"What?"

"A lot of people think me and boys here are funny boys, isn't that just a little bit silly?"

Alice says this same thing at the end of "Long Way To Go" on the "Hollywood Bowl" bootleg. I always found that funny. It sounds like Alice is letting the audience know that the band is in fact heterosexual!

Bloody brilliant, who's been hiding that footage ? Alice looks well boozed in The Killer track.

[WickedYoungMan]

The footage has been up on YouTube before but it wasn't in great quality, this on the other hand is the best quality I've seen thus far.

Interestingly enough, at the very very very end of the "Killer" video, when it freezes on Alice hanging, there's someone (Glen?) seemingly giving the devil horns sign.

great pics but didnt get any sound...same for everyoone?

[Dave Conway]

Cool! Got sound, but pictures keep freezing. Still, looks great stuff.

[Luney Tune]

Fantastic !!!Brilliant !!! I also found Gutter Cats from the same show. The Killer performance shows the master at his most scary, psyhco killerish ever.
This was when he WAS Alice and not plays him like now. Oh what a great period. With the original group also, this can`t be beaten. I envy all that got the chance to see The Alice Cooper Group during this period especeially the Killer and School`s Out tour.
I became a fan in 1973 as a twelve year old. But being from Norway there was no chance to see him.
Now back to watch the clips once more and more....

I've had the ACG In Concert footage for more than 20 years now; rough quality but it's great both seeing and hearing tracks like Killer, Gutter Cat and Street Fight.

It is Glen, he does it on the Paris '72 footage as well. I have a very rough copy of "In Concert". I do agree it is the best quality I've seen it in.


I missed the other two tracks that were featured on this but have since found them!

Gutter Cat Vs. The Jets/Street Fight:

It's too bad that ABC, after editing it down for the show, got rid of the rest of the footage. I also have an "In Concert" of Deep Purple from 1973, and on the commentary track it mentions that after editing, the remaining footage was erased! Fools!

Anyhow, this is what remains!

Enjoy some more!

Well said Luney Tune, thats the difference, he WAS Alice back then. 71-73 can't be beaten imo......I was 13, and to this day, still gutted i didn't get to see the original band. Some consolation being at Wembley in "75", but would swap half my Alice concerts for just one with the originals.

[Baz]

Same here .

[Jumping Jack]

Its about time to dust off "Gutter Cat Vs The Jets" and start playing it again.

In many ways Coops is as good or better than 1972. The man is simply amazing. Keep rock alive baby 365 just like it is still 1972.

[RemarkablyInsincere]

Great stuff!

[daytripper]

Great footage. Thanks very much for posting.

Hofstra Uni what a gig, nearly uploaded this last year but mine is in black and white, good to see it in colour.
This was the first concert in the ABC series and what a gig the Alice Cooper group at their live peak?
ABC should release this it is rock gold

[Give the kid a break]

Thanks Jason for posting those, what great footage. I'd give anything to go back in time to experience ACG during that era. Unfortunately I was only 5yrs old at that time:) And what's up w/the people in the front row during Schools Out? Looks like they don't even know the song! Sheesh!
Luney I was thinking the same thing while watching the video's, he was totally into character, so cool to see him "lost" in Alice. And in a good way, not in the malnourished "Alice in Paris" way.
