I actually really like allot of the cult but they were rubbish live with a plodding set and lifeless renditions of the classics. Ian seemed to be in a strop and moaned constantly that people were having fun wrong.
Yep, that sums them up pretty well. Very disappointing.

I was at Glasgow last night. I thought the show was higher energy than 2019, perhaps down to it being slightly shorter. The whole devils food musical interlude was shorter. Perhaps Alice needed less of a break. The new stuff works really well. I thought the setlist was really well chosen. Missed creeper but thought the cult were pretty dull. I don't think they suit the bigger venue. The only let down was the atmosphere but that seems pretty standard for the Hydro, although it was great to stand at a gig again.

Johnny Depp joined Jeff Beck on stage at Sheffield City Hall last night!

I wonder if he’ll make an appearance with Alice in Birmingham tonight or Leeds on Wednesday…🤔

fabulous shows at Manch and Glasgow.
was a bit gutted last night, the lights dimmed and a few people went up to the barrier so i joined them. the security lass checked tickets and said my row wasn't included in the allowable ones so i went back. And Alice tossed his cane right where i would have been standing :-(
tch.
I got the 2nd black cane - the one Alice threw from NMMNG - My 14 year old daughter was thrilled. We now have a white and a black cane - It has gone to a good home of mad Alice Cooper fans :clap:

Of course they do, it's a rock show... well, accept for the morons in the front row at London (right in front of us in the left block) the other night, who just sat there in their seats all through the show like statues, not even clapping after songs. Actually not completely true, one of them got up a couple of times to shout at the two fans who WERE standing at the barrier and enjoying themselves, because they were blocking her view....
Two others at the end of the front row also sat throughout the show, except for three trips to the bar (the show is only 75ish minutes!).

This is what you get when you have VIP tickets and put the unsold (The Cult) ones on sale for face value three weeks before the show... You get slightly interested people at the front, and the real fans who bought their tickets when they went on sale stuck 30 rows back...
That would explain how when I bought my ticket just a month ago - I was astonished that there were front row seats for £80 - Bought one me for and my daughter the instant I saw them. :)
I'm glad no-one wanted expensive VIP Cult tickets!

To make the night even sweeter we caught the black cane :grin: and got a Ryan Roxie guitar pick.

Just need a guitar pick from Chuck Garric to complete our set of all Alice's current guitarists. :rock:

If anyone has a spare Chuck guitar pick my young Alice Cooper mad daughter would be thrilled.

No, he was onstage with Jeff Beck at the Royal Albert Hall tonight.

Same set in Brum this evening. Thought the sound and the crowd was better than in Manc.

Also, Ryan played the main lick from Six Hours just before I'm Eighteen. Has he done that at any other shows? I think he was just killing a bit of time whilst someone else got ready, but still... that's probably the song I want to hear most.

So if setlist wiki is to be believed, Shut Up and Rock was dropped for Be My Lover (perhaps only until full length sets come back). I don't think it sounded that great to be honest, so I don't think it's a big loss (other than the fact that it's a new song dropped from the set).

One change at Leeds last night - out went 'Shut Up and Rock' to be replaced by 'Be My Lover'.
Result!

I thought shut up and rock worked really well. I love 'be my lover' but was more than happy to see some fresh songs brought in.

This was about my 30th visit to Alice land starting with Special Forces tour way back, taking in both a Hammersmith and the Glasgow Apollo show. Absolutely magic.

I was at Glasgow last Saturday and really enjoyed the energy of the slightly shorter show, although I did miss hearing Go To Hell and My Stars.

Dare to say but I think if Creeper had been given another 20 minutes( at last an opening act with melodies) and Alice another 30 minutes, I would gladly have binned the Cult.

Just my opinion, till the next time...

That was my partner and I standing in the front row in London. I was dumbstruck when it happened at first but enjoyed the show regardless. We also got Alice's cane which was cool, also fun getting it through airport security lol.

We were at the Swansea gig as well, a couple of days prior. A bit of agry bargy in the crowd during that one with some genius throwing a drink at the stage while Alice performed, thankfully it fell just short.

Ended up going to the Leeds show on a last minute whim whew i thought the crowd was great, everybody in the front blocks stood up and rocked out as far as I could see.

By then 'Shut Up and Rock' was replaced by 'Be My Lover' and the aforementioned 'Six Hours' riff before 'Eighteen'.

We sat out the Cult set in London and Leeds.
Creeper were very good though.

Here's an even better one. Hellfest in the dark and with much better sound.

Having a late set does have it's nuances!

This is a photo of the band (no Glen or Alice) by Chyrisse that I found in the Rock at Night review. I am sure many of you have seen it but it's a piece of art imo. Just striking.

I am not sure about the copyrights and such, but it would be great if it could be archived.

Anyone at the Athens show, tonight? Nita mentioned a setlist surprise. Her caption had a trash can icon in it, so... something new/rotated back in from Trash, I'm assuming.
