Timeline 31 - No More Mr Nice Guy 2011
April 4th 2011 "Alice Cooper Ganem Desert Jewel Golf Tournament"
April 20th 2011 Revolver 'Golden Gods' awards show. Alice and the original band perform a short set ('Eighteen', 'Under My Wheels', 'Billion Dollar Babies' and 'School's Out') while Alice receives the 'Golden God' award.
May 11th 2011 Jaegermeister 4D event in Battersea Power Station, London.
Announcement:
The ‘Jägermeister Ice Cold Event’ is set to make history as the UK’s first holographic 4D rock gig and will celebrate the release of the new Alice Cooper Box Set 'Old School: 1964-1974'. Featuring original band members Alice Cooper, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith and Michael Bruce, plus Steve Hunter standing-in for the late Glen Buxton, the ‘Jägermeister Ice Cold Event’ will be the first time the group has ‘appeared’ together in the UK since 1972. (Please note: This is a multmedia event and the band will not be there in person. The show will feature a specially recorded concert which is then given the 4D holographic treatment for presentation).
The event itself was a success, but the actual quality of the 4D presentation left something to be desired, being rather blurred and distant. The band performed a short set of classics with various video effects which included them breaking out of ice at the beginning of the show and confetti cannons at the end. An audio recording of the show was later released as a bonus download for people ordering the then forthcoming 'Old School' box set directly from AliceCooper.com.
