2 Alice Cooper live DVDs out next month

Not one, but two Alice Cooper concerts are being released on DVD next month; the shows were recorded 36 years apart.

Up first, on September 14, is “Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper” – a film of the legendary 1973 “Billion Dollar Babies” tour, featuring Alice’s original band: guitarists Michael Bruce and Glen Buxton, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neal Smith.

Originally released in ’74 (and rereleased on DVD in 2005), the newly restored film goes both DVD and Blu-Ray with a bunch of extras, including deleted scenes, outtakes, the original theatrical trailer, and commentary by Alice.

The bulk of “Good” was filmed during Alice’s shows in Texas in April, ’73; the “Babies” tour reportedly broke US box office records previously set by The Rolling Stones. The tour was the first time Cooper used the guillotine: stage effects and the prop were created for Alice by magician James Randi (aka “The Amazing Randi”), who appeared on the tour as both The Dentist and The Executioner himself.

Recorded on the final night of the “Theatre Of Death” world tour at London’s legendary Hammersmith Apollo, viewers get the full Alice concert experience and, of course, a career-spanning set that’s full of classics.
