    I turned 18 the year this came out, I was in basic training at Tigerland Ft. Polk La., summer 1970. It got a ton of airtime, always playing at the "PX", along with War by Edwin Starr, Fire & Rain, "25 miles" Edwin Starr....We were miserable getting our asses ground into the dirt, these songs helped us keep our sanity.

    Born & raised in the Motor City - Ted Nugent, Bob Seger and Alice Cooper were for sure the Big 3 in that era ! And I saw them all, multiple times. Van Halen was just getting started, GNR was still a decade up the road, great time for rock music, and Alice was and is intertwined with it all.

      Probably the _worst_ show I've ever seen. Edmonton, 1975. He had injured himself in Vancouver a few nights before, but instead of canceling he showed up, put on a half-assed performance (someone else did the singing for the first 2 songs), then split after about 45 mins. I was a kid, attending my first rock concert and I felt completely ripped-off, after waiting months to see him.

  • @SharkHustler
    @SharkHustler Рік тому

    Judging from [his looks over] this performance, it's surprising - if not a damn-right small miracle! - that ol' 'hard-hearted' Alice made it this far [today] ... I think he should call himself rather fortunate in having survived those all-too-consuming 'glory' days of '70s-era hard-rockin' mayhem, bedlam, and 'what-have-you[s]' - unlike many of those from that era, too brazen and blithe in giving a damn about 'making light' of their own inner 'status quo bubbles' (who have since all but perished in their own 'Valhalla') - and it is perhaps 'rightly-so' a matter-of-a-miracle of sorts that Alice is still performing today, despite much of all that went against him in his own personal recovery and journeyed story.
    Live long and 'keep on truckin', Alice! ...

    I love the version of 18 on the live Alice Cooper show album. In one verse he says- I gotta get outta here, mom and dad's got me drinkin' beer, yeah, yeah. Next verse he says- I gotta get outta here, mom and dad's got me drinkin' whiskey all night long! That's a great live album. Shoulda been a double live. Killer anyway!
