Anybody ever see Alice Cooper in concert?

I was wondering what kind of shows he puts on/used to put on. What were the highlights? I have seen clips of his Guillotine act and snippets of "Feed My Frankentsein," but am curious as to how they unfolded.

Anywhere I can get a DVD of his concerts per chance?

Not really, because I know you will answer my questions being the large library of Hard Rock that you are!

I saw the Billion Dollar Babies and School's Out tours at Cobo Arena in Detroit in the 73-75 timeframe. Being from the Detroit area, I always thought he was trying to copy Iggy Pop of the Stooges, whom I thought were great. But the Cooper shows were very entertaining; and he was at the Michigan State Fair this past September, but could not make it.

I've never seen Alice perform live, but I met him at a mall here in Scottsdale, AZ. He lives here. He was sitting on a bench in a less-crowded section of a mall, and I walked up and got an autograph. He's a very cool guy. And a devout Christian, contrary to popular belief.

My neighbor had 2 extra tickets to his show here a couple of weeks ago so we went with her. I didn't think I'd really like him but it was a very entertaining show-especially hearing the old hits. Amusing stage show, he killed and beheaded a crazy candy striper nurse-who someone told me is actually his daughter, as well as Britney Spears, what more could you ask for?!

I saw him a couple years ago. No Guillotine, but he did do the costume changes, money on the sword trick, it was a great show.

I saw Alice on the Constrictor tour in 1986 and the Hey Stoopid tour in 1991.

Both were fantastic shows. VERY theatrical, and very twisted. Saw the guillotine on the Constrictor tour, but I can't remember if he did that on the Hey Stoopid tour.

There was a fantastic "Teenage Frankenstein" bit on the Constrictor tour that I still can't figure out how they pulled off. It's on the Nightmare Returns home video if you can ever find it.

Saw him last year. Was an amazing show that I wasn't expecting at all. Blew me away. He has an amazing amount of energy for his age and what he has put his body through in his earlier years.
