Saw Nurse Rozetta on the side of the stage. You know there's more from the album, From The Inside coming up. And Davey Johnstone from Elton John's band. Nice.
Saw Alice some time in the early seventies... 73-74 my memory of the exact dates is not good. I do remember tho ZZ Top was the opening act...I had never heard of them...they kicked it off with Lagrange 🤯 Epic! Then Alice came out and killed it! He did the guillotine thing...the crowd went nuts!
damn, i was in fifth grade when i seen this on tv with my older sister. The next day I went to Kmart an got the big green lp vinyl, I didn't pay for either. I was a little hoodlum back then.
First big show I ever saw was this lineup in ‘77 Vancouver. Whitey Glan on the kit with the horizontal kick drums. I’ve never seen any video with him until now. Cheers.
I feel the same way, but at least both of the guitarists here were actually the very same studio musicians that played the leads on the song Billion Dollar Babies on the original album from the Alice Cooper group.
@@janet.osmonson7451 Well, it's the strange thing about rock & roll: The image of the original band members is important, but the studio cats often had them beat in the sound department. Steve Hunter, the guitarist in the video and on the album, was heads and tails better than Glenn Buxton, who was so drunk-sick and sloppy he couldn't even tour back in the day, much less put his lead guitar on record. And Hunter also played the iconic intro-solo on Aerosmith's Train Kept A Rollin', because Joe Perry just wasn't up to the task. But Perry and Buxton had the rock star posing down pat, and I mean that as a compliment.
I think, that the 'Madhouse Rock Tour' (1979) Band, is the closest to the original Band, it's mostly for Alice's substance abuse, but this Tour was Just as energetic as the original Band 's Killer Tour!
Alice Cooper had his own unique style of performing. He was wild! He had some good songs. My two favorites, "I Never Cry" and "You And Me" Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Fantastic channel. I've heard that Rory Gallagher performed on M. Special but I've never seen this video, so I don't know if it's true. Do you know anything about this? Thank you for making all this historical material available.
I was struck how these guys resembled the original Alice Cooper musicians from a distance. I was puzzled at first, and I knew and hung out with these guys back when they started out.
I never missed Midnight Special .I remember this like yesterday !
Saw him in concert then. I see him in concert now. Almost 45 years later and the man still knows how to put on a great show.
almost seems better everytime!
Me too. I don't miss him when he's in town. I saw the From The Inside tour as well.
He looks better now than he did then
My friend, Steve Hunter, from Decatur Illinois on Stratocaster guitar.😎
I was at this taping of the Midnight Special.... just a little left of the catwalk close to the stage.....
Theatrical distractions are fine, I suppose, but the real star here is the band playing behind the theater star. So tight, so underrated.
Agree, but Alice also sounds amazing here!
W/ out Alice that band would be nowhere.
@@jimilove7773 And without the band Alice would be a two bit side show performer off broadway.
The mighty Whitey Glan on drums….RIP
Interesting set up, I've never been able to get a good look at it, but dudes awesome.
this song scared the crud out of me as a kid...lol. Alice...what a performer and showman
Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on guitar!
Not Dick Wagner, but Davey Johnstone.
@@ZombiedustXXX thanks

Yeah I have trouble remembering things to. I abused myself back then lol.
Love this clip of Alice with two greats in the band, Davey Johnstone and Prakash John.
Saw him Live in Brussels in 2019 ... Still as good as this was 50 years earlier 😍
The Cod piece looks like AC has followed through. Much like the snakes bowels from abuse of somas. Rock'n'Roll!!!!
1:28 ..snake checks out guitar solos
lol sure did 🤣
I sure hope you still have the complete show. I was 9 years old but I still remember the interview with Alice. Would love to see it again.
Love you still Alice
New Haven Coliseum 1977

You stole a big record? lmao did you try to "hide" it?😆
Back when $10 would get you in for an all-day concert featuring Big Bertha, Three Dog Night, Black Oak Arkansas, The James Gang and Alice Cooper.
Yeah yeah
A preview of what I'll be seeing in September
Not at all, but yeah he stills badass

thanks for posting this!
Alice was so awesome back in the day!
All these years later, and I'm still mad that he ditched the original band. I know how to hold a grudge

@@publicanimal Very true!
True yes,but pretty sure I saw originals do Billion and I'll take them all day long over studio cats haa

Great interview with the 50 year release of BDB with Alice Dennis Neil and Michael.
Amazing.

Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Alice still puts on great concerts, complete with stage show.
@AnthonyStJames That's fantastic! To still be able to do what you love doing. Thank you for sharing! 💖
1979
Holy crap, this is gold
Hey midnight special can you please upload the other two johnny winter clips,thanks in advance
his act hasn't changed since 3000 BC
he's laughin all the way to the bank...a big bank...
Sounds great, but only two minutes? Either edited or more likely, part of a medley, I would think.
ha! Davey Johnstone on stage with them!!
Alice is def not doing well here but this is iconic.
Wish Donovan could have performed this with him.
Ya,it really wudda been cool to see that..
Fantastic channel. I've heard that Rory Gallagher performed on M. Special but I've never seen this video, so I don't know if it's true. Do you know anything about this? Thank you for making all this historical material available.
Waiting for the NY Dolls gig in the show!
Ahhh
Mayor of Palm Springs
Put the Show in Showman. Thank you.
Help a brotha out: Guitarist playing the Les Paul is Steve Hunter? and Dick Wagner on the Strat?
Steve Hunter on the Strat, Davey Johnstone (Elton John) on the Les Paul.
Who is on the drums? Looks like Neil Smith.
Pentti "Whitey" Glan.
What year was this? 74?
No, From the Inside was released in 1978 so probably 1978
Who’s the guy on bass guitar? It’s not Dennis.
I was struck how these guys resembled the original Alice Cooper musicians from a distance. I was puzzled at first, and I knew and hung out with these guys back when they started out.
Thankfully he learned how to act like and not be Alice. Otherwise he wouldn’t still be Rockin’ today.
Vince is a moron for breaking up the original band 🤪
This makes Marlyn Manson look tame.
Sux
now Poison please
Sorry but the band is terrible. Sorely missing original band members Michael, Neal, Dennis, and especially Glen Buxton.
Entertainer yes...singer no.
he's great.
Sorry gang, this ain't AC, this is five-sixths a cover band, this is junk!!!
Twat. This was great band in its own right - better players actually than the original ACB.
🙄
Alices band is called Ultra Latex
