Very cool. Would be great to see this all in pristine quality.

Only BDB was released on DVD so far. It's a shame this footage exists in perfect quality yet isn't released.

Mega thanks for posting this-the energy of a clean/skinny Alice and band is awesome(for me a great antidote to Lace and W)...I think Alice mentions the Cars and Olivia NJ..were they on show/video or what?

That was cool, ive never seen a live performance of 'We're all crazy' before, shame it cut off early. Alice's voice sounded really strong and gritty.

I agree with WHW about Alice's vocals for this performance. More of his natural growl-type vocals then appeared on A Strange Case of Alice Cooper. This should somehow get cleaned up and released as bonus features for a dvd (or just fine by itself!).

Wow. That segment is some of the worst television outside of Sid & Marty Krofft!

His career never did recover from these years, but at least he didn't follow his buddy Moonie into the grave.

Obviously, that's nonsense.

Nice find...I've only had the audio from this show, which I taped off the tv when it originally aired in 1979 !!!!

Alice's voice is awesome unlike the Strange Case concert video, that is one show I can't watch, Alice is such a mess, can't sing, anorexic, glad he survived and regained his career
Remember The Coop !!

A little hard to tell with the video quality, but it looks like the red athletic cup on Alice's costume was replaced with a less obvious black one. A little too risqué for '79, I guess.

Great performance but a very odd TV show. The host looked and sounded like a character from Frank Zappa's 200 motels movie (That is a quite confusing and boring movie but the soundtrack is pretty good).

Great playing and awesome vocals. If I had a time machine and I could choose one Alice Cooper tour from past and witness it, it would be this Madhouse Rock Tour. That tour had in my opinion the best Alice Cooper setlist ever.

The host was Wolfman Jack, a very famous D.J. in the '70s. The Guess Who even wrote a song in tribute to him, "Clap For The Wolfman."

My first Alice concert was that tour: March 3, 1979, Louisville, KY
