a thunderous LP. I saw Alice Cooper during the Billion Dollar Babies tour, loved the music but not so much all the theatrics. The early Alice Cooper music stood just fine without the sideshow.
 
The theatrics is what makes an Alice Cooper show unique. He gets the crowd going bigtime. I remember seeing them as the middle act for Heaven and Hell w/ Queensryche the opening act. Totally stole the show, people were yelling Alice for President while he was waving a huge American flag on stage. Heaven and Hell did not even come out for an encore, they just seemed so lame in comparison that the crowd could not get into H&H's performance

Very few bands can follow an Alice Cooper show and expect to ignite the crowd

Good point, but for the Billion Dollars Babies tour it seemed to me like we were sitting back watching a performance. The A.C. show looked more like a staged circus than uncharted-breaking-the-rules-rock (the $$$ from it probably paved the way for KISS & other costume/hair metal rock bands - not that I'm qualified to make any judgement). :confused1: Love the early A.C. music.

istening to the Stooges Funhouse reminds me of what must have been closer, for a commercial recorded act, to that uncharted rules breaking stuff and must have been incendiary in person.
