Nightmare returns Tour question......
Hi everyone,
I was re- reading an old (1986) Kerrang magazine recently, which has a feature on the "Nightmare returns" Detroit show.
The writer ( Dave Dickson) quotes lyrics from "Second coming", and mentions that Alice played it as part of the show......
I saw the show several times in the UK , and of course, have the Video....but there is no sign of that track being played, nor do I have any recollection of it being played live during the tour......
Is this just a "Writers" glitch...or am I indeed missing out on something ???
...Just curious.....
Thanx for reading!
cheers,
Dave

I think the writer got it wrong. I saw Alice in the Nightmare Returns show, more than once, and he didn't play Second Coming.DaveJay wrote: The writer ( Dave Dickson) quotes lyrics from "Second coming", and mentions that Alice played it as part of the show......

He didn't play it at the Wembley, Manchester, Newcastle or Birmingham shows I was at.
Pretty sure the writer made a mistake.
What a show that was.

Kane Roberts defintly has his place in the archives....
The Kane Roberts years were slamming!!!
I wish we could see that again. The Constrictor effort was a little soft in areas. Due to production But killed live. IMO
Raise your fist and yell is brilliant. I know some people here do not like that CD/album I thought it was one of Alice's shining moments.
When Ken Mary...(who is a MONSTER btw) again IMO...and Michael Wagner showed up...it was a great chemistry for sure.

Well i certainly know of many people who don't rate the Kane Roberts era. I liked the 2 albums (moreso RYFAY due to the flat production of Constrictor). But yeah, they were a great live band. Ken Mary and Kane Roberts were pretty talented to say the least!mattcoddington wrote:it would bewilder me if anyone hated anything having to do with kane roberts.While Heaven Wept wrote:Certainly was a fantastic tour. Love or hate the Kane Roberts era - the show was a massive spectacle.
I would love to see a DVD of the RYFAY tour (if a professionally shot video even exists?).
Getting back to the topic, I still think the writer got confused about just what song 'Mommy where's daddy?.....' was from.
Anyway, Kane Roberts era; horrible, the show was OK, a bit contrived, a bit 'cartoon', but giving Alice Cooper classics the 'heavy metal' treatment was crass and embarressing. For me, that era 86 - 91 was a mockery of the Alice Cooper concept of the 70's. Give me a 'mindless' yet CREATIVE Alice in Toronto thinking up the Dada concept album ANYDAY!

I don't agree on that.Gunner wrote: Kane Roberts era; giving Alice Cooper classics the 'heavy metal' treatment was crass and embarrassing. For me, that era 86 - 91 was a mockery of the Alice Cooper concept of the 70's.
In my humble opinion Dead Babies in the Life in the Flesh tour sounded great !
And Welcome to my nightmare in the earlier Nightmare Returns tour sounded even better then ever before...
Thanks to Arthur Funaro also, again in my opinion of-course..
Aye, I'll go along with those two actually.In my humble opinion Dead Babies in the Life in the Flesh tour sounded great !

Alice wanted Randy Piper originally for guitar in that era, I think he would have looked more 'Alice', but the whole 'Alice goes WASP' thing made me cringe honestly - especailly when he did that hideous photo shoot of blood and limbs in the bath etc.
