I liked the show last night quiet a bit, too! Especially since I ended up winning another contest that same radio station had, which...(drum-roll please.....)....was an Alice Cooper Lifetime Laminate! Basically it's a pass that gets me into any Alice show, anywhere, anytime for LIFE. Granted, it's my dime to pay for any travel expenses - but once I'm there, I'm in. How awesome is that?
I was completely stunned and in shock when I found out I actually won, and really, I still am. We got to go backstage and meet Alice (and Rob Zombie) before the show - got autographs, pics and such. Then they took my picture, so they can make out the pass, and mail a copy to me. Unfortunately, since it won't be ready right away, I can't use it for any of the shows in the next few days, but all things considered, I think that'll be ok.
Alice was extremely cool, and said he looked forward to seeing me in the future. I brought him a cheesy Kung-Fu DVD as a gift, too, and he told me now I need to bring him one every time I go to a show. A small price I'm more than happy to pay.
As for the concert, I thought it was one of the best I've seen him do out of the last few I've gone to. We were standing in the front, just off to the left side of Damon, so we had an excellent view for the whole show. I like that every tour he changes out some of the more obscure tunes he does. It was kind of a treat to hear "I Never Cry" and especially "Killer".
Didn't particularly care for Murderdolls, so I really don't have much to say about them.
Rob Zombie's was set was decent, even though it seemed he had quiet a hard time generating the same energy from the crowd that Alice did. (And I'm pretty sure there were as many, if not more people there to see him as there were for Alice.) To me, guitarist John 5 was the highlight of his whole set, though. That guy is dangerously good.
