I saw the original Alice Cooper band at Manzanita Raceway in Phoenix in 73. Open festival seating, so we got there early to get center stage, about a row back. It was blankets and lawn chairs and an absolutely amazing show. They did this and then Ballad of Dwight Fry back to back and it was one of the best stage shows AnD music performances I've ever seen. This current band is tight to say the least but the orginal band was legendary. Rip Glen. You were one of the very best.
okay that's the best thing I've heard/seen in a looong time on TH-cam! This is one of them "unknown" tracks off of Killer but was probably my favorite off the LP. Well, that's hard to say because Killer was just absolute gold every song. But, man, I loved this tune back then. And they did it sweet justice here. And thumbs up to Alice for bringing these young musicians in and having them learn great hard rock that is now 50+ yrs old. Man, I can't believe I just said that.
Best live version of this song I've heard in a long time. Another fav song, the album a Xmas present '72 was 13 at the time. Folks freaked when they saw the cover...LMAO Still a favorite at 65.
Drummers almost never get the chance for their Free Artistic Expression. Thanks for that Alice! his drummer was Always forefront to my ears, in his music.
Yes, there was progressive rock in '71! I can't imagine the rehearsals that they sweated through to kill this one. The blonde virtuoso is Nita Strauss; a perfect fit for Alice's theatrical style.
OMG! What a great version of my favorite Alice Cooper band song off my favorite Alice Cooper album. And i have been a Coop fan since I was 9. Now they would have sent my to see a psychiatrist for singing macabre songs in school.
Wow, this is really cool stuff! I've been listening to this album since my older brother bought it when it first came out and this is my favorite song off of Killer!
Sheer class song… they took it off my local pubs jukebox..why I don,t know.. maybe too long for the zephotrons.. killer his best album ever.. all high school friends in the band
This is the second channel I listen to it playing Halo of flies and the volume is way too low for this old 69 or old who's listen to a lot of Alice Cooper.
I've got the answers To all of your questions If you've got the money To pay me in gold I will be living In old Monte Carlo And you will be reading The secrets of soul Daggers and contacts And bright shiny limos I've got a watch That turns into a lifeboat Glimmering nightgowns Poisonous as cobras Silencer under the heel of my shoe The elegance of China They sent her to lie here on her back But as she deeply moves me She'd rather shoot me in my tracks And while a Middle Asian lady She really came as no surprise But I still did destroy her And I will smash Halo of flies I crossed the ocean Where no one could see And I put a time-bomb In your submarine Goodbye to old friends The secret's in hand With phonied up papers And counterfeit plans You never will understand
What I loved about Neil Smiths drumming was how he could showoff without seeming to showoff. This was good but I love the original group better and forever.
I know Alice is getting old and needs a rest sometime but that drum solo goes on a bit. Other than that it's a pretty good version almost as good as the original back in the seventies.
Oh please gimme Neal, Dennis, n Mike all that glitters isnt gold,Neal blows that drummer away, There is no better bassist than Denny and Michael wrote the songs C'mon, chick guitarists are a turn off, more tatoos!
I can never tire of those old albums..... the rock star band do it no justice though they play it well.... no colour, no style, too much black, no originality to their sound, too many tattoo's..... and it's all rushed.....besides they look like washed out parodies of Izzy Stradlin', Joe Perry and a few other walking cliches.....
So mister Cooper. You have a problem with transgenders.. too shocking for you? I was always your biggest fan, now you are banned !! Real love from Holland ❤
Amazing that this song from 1971 holds up so well in 2023
To me…. It is the best song ever written, the composition, the feel! Everything just fits!
@@ronaldraven5061my favorite ac song
The whole Killer album stands up today. Just an amazing album.
It's a masterpiece....
Absolutely no surprise for me! Timeless music is timeless. A masterpiece.
Definitely in Top 3 Alice Cooper songs of all-time

I've loved this song for 50+ years.
Dennis Dunaway
STILL on bass..👈😁👍...
Fuk....I just realized I'm old
Me too
Me too
First album I ever bought with my own money at 11 years old was A.C. Killer.

First proper album I ever brought - Still love it and Halo is one of many stand out tracks
The Coop. The Ultimate Showman. Respect.
The guy is THE real gem of the American rock!!! No surprise he's been staying so respected in the UK
Greatest rock and roll showman of all time. His concerts are out of this world!!
One of many truly epic and awesome songs by that original lineup of the Alice Cooper band.
One of my all time favs when I was punk kid..killa jam
Going to Alice this Sunday in Oberhausen. Will keep you guys posted!!!
One of the best songs ever.
Much more than a song...death, putrefaction and the glory of it. Pure Alice Cooper!!!
Best live version of this song I've heard in a long time. Another fav song, the album a Xmas present '72 was 13 at the time. Folks freaked when they saw the cover...LMAO Still a favorite at 65.
Alice Cooper was one of the defining bands of my teen years. I have never stopped loving this song!
Beautiful - one of my favorite Coop tunes...
One of my all-time favourites from the great Alice! Pure genius
Masterpiece.......❤❤❤❤
Amazing performance 👏 🙌 ❤️ 👌
Love you Alice❤❤❤❤
I'd never heard this track but it's right up there... and what a performance !!!
One of many reasons Killer is still my favorite album.
C'est vraiment un morceau extraordinaire... Merci Alice
If this is actually a true live performance, no over dubs…..WOW!!!! Tip of the hat to the OG’s!!!
Drummers almost never get the chance for their Free Artistic Expression.
Thanks for that Alice!
his drummer was Always forefront to my ears, in his music.
This is my fav Alice song. Damn! What a performance!!!!!😊
Yes, there was progressive rock in '71! I can't imagine the rehearsals that they sweated through to kill this one. The blonde virtuoso is Nita Strauss; a perfect fit for Alice's theatrical style.
Absolutely adorable
Not sure if adorable is what Alice was going for but sure!
OMG what a fantastic crew, and what a splendid "Halo" version! Thank you, AC ... special hugs to Nita 🥰
Maybe my favorite Alice Cooper song!
10 minutes of fine art and poetry!
my favorite Alice song!
Wow Glen is a beast
Superb rendition of what I think is one of Alice's finest tracks.
Killer is well.. killer! Alice just rules. Great performance of a great track!
This is one of the classics that I wish one of the three guitarists played a keyboard as well.
ALICE BROUGHT THEATER TO THE MUSIC STAGE
The best song of all his songs
One of the best songs from Alice Cooper
I love Alice Cooper since I've been a teenager early 70s actually 60s

Brilliant version of a classic AC track
Masterpiece

Holy Hell .... this is unreal.

GREAT GUITARS
The best Alice song ever. I hope he plays this one at Bospop this year.
OMG! What a great version of my favorite Alice Cooper band song off my favorite Alice Cooper album. And i have been a Coop fan since I was 9. Now they would have sent my to see a psychiatrist for singing macabre songs in school.

Wow, this is really cool stuff! I've been listening to this album since my older brother bought it when it first came out and this is my favorite song off of Killer!
One of Alice's best songs from one of his best albums ! What an amazing band with the guy !!!
Fantastic!
Best song on Killers next to Dead Babies and title track!
ROCK IS ROCK IN ROCK...
I think it's because of Alice Cooper I moved from LA to Cleveland I owe my rock and roll love to him❤
Classic song.
Sheer class song… they took it off my local pubs jukebox..why I don,t know.. maybe too long for the zephotrons.. killer his best album ever.. all high school friends in the band
This is the second channel I listen to it playing Halo of flies and the volume is way too low for this old 69 or old who's listen to a lot of Alice Cooper.
Yeah.... 💖
Just WOW!
Tight!
❤❤
Beasto Blanco rendering an overwhelming instrumental to this masterpiece.
That's because it's rock and roll and it's that good 🎉
Love Alice, love Beasto Blanco❤❤❤❤
Desperato👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I had the vinyl killer 1972 in cold lake alberta
I've got the answers
To all of your questions
If you've got the money
To pay me in gold
I will be living
In old Monte Carlo
And you will be reading
The secrets of soul
Daggers and contacts
And bright shiny limos
I've got a watch
That turns into a lifeboat
Glimmering nightgowns
Poisonous as cobras
Silencer under the heel of my shoe
The elegance of China
They sent her to lie here on her back
But as she deeply moves me
She'd rather shoot me in my tracks
And while a Middle Asian lady
She really came as no surprise
But I still did destroy her
And I will smash
Halo of flies
I crossed the ocean
Where no one could see
And I put a time-bomb
In your submarine
Goodbye to old friends
The secret's in hand
With phonied up papers
And counterfeit plans
You never will understand
What I loved about Neil Smiths drumming was how he could showoff without seeming to showoff. This was good but I love the original group better and forever.
The original group was the best imho
wow
OMG this made me cry
I feel like Alice in this video
Every time I hear this song.
Hard not to.
🧡🤡🛡⚔
I am gonna see if the cover band I'm in would like to do this. Not a dance tune but a " I can't believe I just saw that" tune.
I know Alice is getting old and needs a rest sometime but that drum solo goes on a bit. Other than that it's a pretty good version almost as good as the original back in the seventies.
Love this song but if I ever hear another drum solo it will be too soon.
He knows how to pick good musicians😂
😘🎸❤❤😳🎵👍
6:20 did wäterce cöppi??
Nita Strauss..reincarnation of Glen Buxton
what is the lady doing there, only for the night i think?!!!!
Hey! Coop can afford the best musicians !
Is that Danzig on bass? :-}
Dennis Dunaway...👈😁..
An original...
Seein' them Sept 2...👈😁...
Gonna "lala" 👀 👈😁 on Nita...

Not as good as the Original Version of the Original Band !!!

Real love from Holland ❤
