It just doesn't get more rock 'n roll than Alice Cooper singing "I'm Eighteen". What an incredible entertainer! The Midnight Special channel nails it once again!
Sing it Alice Cooper... To be Eighteen again and to know then what I know now.... We sure had the best times growing up! Good Times and Great Music! 🎶 Happy Thursday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Wow! Davey Johnston on guitar. This must be around the time that him and Bernie Taupin were estranged a bit from Elton John, and we're working with Alice Cooper on the From the Inside album, which I always felt was a super underrated album and one of my favorites when I was a kid
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.
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.
First time I saw Alice Cooper was 1977 Detroit Cobo Hall I saw recently Hollywood Vampires I met him at a Lions game in the late 80s what a cool cat humble gentleman genuine he wrote two songs that will stand the test of time for sure school's out and I'm 18 100 years from now they'll still be talking about Elvis The Beatles Led Zeppelin and Alice Cooper Long Live Alice
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! ...
Songs that where featured in His Episode: • From The Inside • Serious • I'm Eighteen • Only Woman Bleed • Billion Dollar Babies • Inmates (We're All Crazy)
I saw Alice Cooper in Salt Lake City in the 70's. The Salt Palace said he would never play again in Utah. But I saw him again in 1989 at, (you guessed it) THE SALT PALACE!!!
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.
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!
Yeah, i Just wished that the recorded show (in Las Vegas) was filmed and released. Cause The Only Solo Alice Films from the 70s are: • Welcome To My Nightmare (1976) • Alice Cooper And Friends (1977, incomplete) • The Strange Case Of Alice Cooper The 'King Of The Silver Screen Tour' didnt get properly documented Like the Welcome To My Nightmare or Madhouse Rock Tour.
More Alice Cooper please!!! This was sensational!
since you said please we will get some in the queue
@@themidnightspecialtvshow
EPOSIDE 35 Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alice Cooper has been 70 years old the past 5 decades.
I can't believe how scrawny he is
@@wirelessone2986wait - that's Alice???? I thought that was Jilly B😮
@@secondsun7727 LOL
He`s still kicking ass at 75 !!!!
Saw him last week and he still goes this hard
Lucky!!! And that's awesome🤘🏼🤘🏼
Davy Johnstone on guitar ... Elton John's legendary guitarist
Yeah Eltons music kinda restricts him from playing with any real muscle...looks like hes enjoying this gig.
@@tonyrutgershauer7947go back and review Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, there’s plenty of meat on that bone.
Pretty sure sir Elton sucked the meat off that bone before it was released 😮

From the Inside was my first AC album so to see him performing on this tour is incrdible.
I was 18 in 1986 and it was a damned good time to be young and free!
Ive been lucky to see Alice twice in my lifetime, best concerts ive ever been to
Literally one of the few times I’ve heard him sing the first verse and not just skip over it completely

About nineteen 77 or 78 photo of one of the mediocre album covers that he done after he busted up the original band
Holy crap that is Davey! Nice
What a fantastic version of “I’m 18”!

So many bands owe it all to Alice Cooper 👍
Really great HEAVY version of this classic!!!
Personality plus. What a musical character. Fine guitarist. Thank you.
Alice is one of those utter rarities that has not changed in appearance or sound in almost 50 years. And he is still just as good.
Best COOPER Band ! 😁👍🏻
And wireless Microphones were just invented 🤘
Fun Fact!
In 1976!
3 Years before this...
@@themidnightspecialtvshowthe best Cooper band was the original one not this by a long shot
Truly amazing he's still rocking today.
Brilliant! I have been a fan since the mid-70's. From the inside, I had it on 8-track, playing over and over, like all of his albums.
For me, From The Inside era was AC's prime as an entertainer. His voice is also top notch there, so much better than on the Strange Case of AC.
No chance my parents were going to let me go see Alice live.Really liked his albums a lot.Still sounds great today.
@tubular Yep. Again I had to stay at a friends place to even watch this on tv. Lol Good times tho and great memories ^_^
When first recorded, "I'm Eighteen" referred to Alice's age. At this performance, it was in reference to his weight.
The Coke years
@@Nodsarak Oh! He's so skinny. Maybe "The Diet Coke" years.
I have followed him forever, I remember when this first came out, still have the album!
FINNALLLLYYY THE ALICE SEGMENT IS UPON US!!!!!!!!
Saw him when I was 14. Awesome does not even begin to cover it
AC is immortal. Best show I've ever seen
Everybody that came after took something from him.
He's immortal and impressive on the golf course too ...and to this very day still swinging clubs 🏌️⛳🎚️🔞

Hunter, Wagner, Prakash John!!! The Rock and Roll Animal band!
Got to see the School's Out & Billion Dollar Babies tour's. Mind Blowing!
Great Shows!
As Wayne and Garth exclaimed: "We're not worthy!" 🤔😊👍
The studio albums only hinted at the power of these guys live.
Alice is amazing and what a kickass band, incredible.

I remember me watching this incredible show on Tv ! What a blast ! WE WANT THE WHOLE SHOW PLEAAAAASE !
Songs that where featured in His Episode:
• From The Inside
• Serious
• I'm Eighteen
• Only Woman Bleed
• Billion Dollar Babies
• Inmates (We're All Crazy)
A very different lineup !!!
He really is awesome

Wow. Alice looked 70 back in the 70s. 😮😂
He hadn’t gotten sober yet so he was looking skinny and rough by the end of the 70’s. He looked far better 10 years later when he was sober.
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.
Michigan has brought some great rock, and hard rock. The Stooges, the MC5 those bands were so heavy, before heavy was mentioned to describe R.ock
With the great Davey Johnstone!⚡️
Super Cool!
Prakash John on bass.
Awesome bass player. The Welcome to my Nightmare movie is a great showcase of that.
And Whitey Glan (RIP) on drums! Toronto, ON represent!
And Jozef Chirowski on keyboards!
@@CoCotheTurtle oh that’s right!
Davey Johnstone on lead
I remember this like it was almost 45 years ago!
Please release the whole program with Alice!
This was fantastic!
This sounds far better than the recorded version. Great sound.
Vintage Alice Cooper
Vincent Furnier sounds good.
Funny, he looks exactly the same today! Would love to see Alice in Hollywood Vampires 💯😘
Legend.
Al Kooper rocks!
Real crack cocaine energy here. Never seen a performance of Eighteen more frenzied and manic as this
Pretty much still looks the same in 2024!
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.

Yeah, i Just wished that the recorded show (in Las Vegas) was filmed and released.
Cause The Only Solo Alice Films from the 70s are:
• Welcome To My Nightmare (1976)
• Alice Cooper And Friends (1977, incomplete)
• The Strange Case Of Alice Cooper
The 'King Of The Silver Screen Tour' didnt get properly documented Like the Welcome To My Nightmare or Madhouse Rock Tour.
Alice Cooper is sick that's why I love him and his music
theres something about everyone screaming "im 18" at the same time that hits harder than the studio track
Alice Cooler sempre foi foda !!!
Where's the Alice Cooper band? I don't recognize anybody. Glen, Michael, Dennis, Neil? Maybe a couple of them are there, can't tell.
He had already busted the original band up long before this
please upload the rest of the blondie and donna summer performances. thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
No last verse but still great.
rock
February 4, 1948 is his birthdate 😁
If he hadn't quit drinking, Alice never would have made it out of the 80's alive.
Alice was always thin but here he was skinny like a corpse, going through rough times clearly
Soon it'll be '' I'm Eight Y''
did you upload the guess who in the midnight special 1973 and 1974
We will get it in the lineup soon
Could be Altzheimer's but I'm 80!!! And I don't know what I want. 80!! I gotta get away! 80!! I get confused everyday!
This is the time when he was drinking so heavily that almost died. thankfully he did quit
Nurse Rosetta on BGV
I hope he gave the hat back to that girl.
Vale.

Las 10 mejores canciones en español del 1993. 🙃
Wow! I remember staying in to watch this when it aired.
Useless w/o the original band. Is there any older (pre-'75) AC..?
Fuck me that was great. never seen this before what a find!
This Band sucked so bad compared to his ORIGINAL!!
