That Glen Buxton! I dont know how he did it but his guitar sound was unmistakable! Each musician in his band fed off of and complimented each other. It all came together for that unique sound they had. Luv to blast them when I'm in the tub, lol!!
Glen Buxton and the original Alice Cooper band played their last concerts with Alice in 1974. Even then, they only played 7 shows in Brazil. As of 1975, Alice had Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on guitars.
The Mad House Rock Tour band (dubbed Ultra Latex by Alice at the time) had Steve Hunter but not Glenn Buxton (nor Dick Wagner). The blonde guy is actually Davey Johnstone, famously part of Elton John's band (Alice was working with a lot of John's collaborators and musicians at the time, Bernie Taupin helped co-write most of the songs on From The Inside). He would play a bit of "Saturday Night's alright (for fightin')" during the band introduction in the middle of an extended "School's Out", prompting Alice to say he pays him more than Elton.
Saw him 30 days before this was filmed in Chicago, amazing and my first concert! Really still the best show I ever saw. Alice stage show was ahead of its time for sure.
I was stationed in Germany 1981 and I heard his interview on U.S. Armed Forces Radio. He said, “I pay my hard earned money to go to a concert to see a guy bang on a guitar and I’m to say OH WOW! You go to my concert you’re going to see a show, not just some guitar player.” I Love Alice Cooper.
Stanley Holewa ...I was in ashaffenburg...bought my CD at a local record store...hope your tour was as good as mine..saw AC DC HELLS BELLS AND KISS LICK IT UP before going home Dec 83...
As much as I love seeing this stuff. It’s this particular time that I have a hard time watching because he looks so sick here. I’m so grateful he made it!
I will still never forget him doing this song on the Muppets show, one of the weirdest and coolest things I have seen to this day. The 70's were pretty damn cool.
Greetings I share the cover I made of this song, I hope you like it and support my channel thanks metalheads th-cam.com/video/tGy1ZtErgPM/w-d-xo.html 🤘🤘🤘😊
I would say Alice Cooper never had the best voice in the world -- by far -- but he put on one hell of a stage show and had a top-flight band. Going to one of his concerts around this time was an experience.
Got to see this performed live 1975/76 "Welcome to My Nightmare" tour Edmonton Alberta ... Northlands Coliseum .... on the floor ..... won't forget it....
I saw this performance on TV very briefly many, many years ago. At the time, I wasn’t familiar with Alice Cooper. But I was drawn in immediately. Those words “Welcome to my nightmare” were so intriguing and surreal. And I liked the whole concept with nightmarish creatures greeting him. And just a few seconds in, a family member changed the channel and that was that. The next time I came across Alice Cooper on TV was about a decade or two later when he released his ‘come back’ album Trash. I had forgotten the name but the narrator mentioned the Welcome To My Nightmare album from the 70s and immediately, I remembered that stage performance I saw on TV briefly all those years ago that featured those same words. I quickly realised that this is the same guy! I learned more about his music and his previous works and quickly became a fan.
I love Alice and all his theatrics are awesome always, glad he's still alive!! He was way to skinny there wow, glad that stopped, nut yeah i glad to hear him on the radio as a DJ on 97 classic rock in Buffalo on the weekends, always nice to chill with!!
I only finally got a chance to see Alice a few months ago and it was seriously amazing seeing him it only left me wanting more, I been listening to Alice for the past 25 years and seeing the concert live really took me back and had me saying holy crap he is playing that? This is amazing so I will take every opportunity I can to see him again. /m/ rock on Alice /m/
My first ever concert was Alice Cooper live! I will never forget that day and that's how I became a fan; because of that concert. The first shock rock performer 💥
I see Prakash John, Steve Hunter (and so probably with Whitey Glan on drums) The surprise to me was Davey Johnson in the line up, and he seemed made to measure.
I saw this show in Sacramento. It was really well done. Theater rock was really evolving on the stage and Alice had a great show. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on guitars.
+zaxxxon Davey is a hell of a musician, and took over for my Father (Dick Wagner) during this tour. Dick was busy with other things, his solo album, working with Tim Curry and Burton Cummings among other projects.
Saw him live in the past 6 months - he still rocks it hard! Gotta love the one and only Alice, the Godfather of everything that followed him - 80's metal, 70's punk rock, goth, etc. It all started with Alice. Before Ziggy Stardust, NY Dolls, Sex Pistols, Marilyn Manson, Ozzy, there was Alice...everyone copied him in one way or another.
Your best fan for along time. Your music helped me through my early teen years"🌃 mares" especially your early brilliance. "Steven" totally understand it was my refuge. Always a friend. Thank you Alice, Rosario 😎 now😭then
I saw Alice while I was in High School in an stadium (Full of a cloud bank of pot smoke, thank you). Then many years later I saw him in Hollywood at the Sunset blvd "House of Blues" - a swanky, intimate venue...and he had gotten better with age, I think. The Scary psycho Alice was too freaky. While the mature, dark carnival ring-master was a bit more suave, a better singer, and ...more like-able a character. I mean, don't get me wrong both times he was beyond good - you saw Alice Cooper, and you saw a REAL FULL ON ROCK SHOW.... but, Alice has gotten better with age.
+Jennifer Fish Did you know the woman dancing as the Black Widow Spider is (still) married to Alice (I think they got married in 75/76)? He broke up with Raquel Welch (!) because he fell in love with her during a tour. As beautiful as Raquel still is, she was 20X hotter then so just imagine a guy telling a woman "Yeah, I broke up with the woman commonly stated as the most beautiful woman on earth because I fell in love with you and honestly find you a more perfect woman."
+RowdyRodimus Really?? Raquel Welch?? :O Wow.... I guess it just goes to show that no matter how hot you are you're still on the same level playing field of acquiring true love! Thanks for that... needed it today. :D
Alice /Raquel as told in Dick Wagners book Not Only Women Bleed . They did not date she advanced on him one occasion he rejected the advance the story from Dicks book went viral and was reported by over a hundred agencys world wide about 2013 I think that is what you refer too.
I was at this tour in Oakland. The right mix of certain substances made this an unforgettable experience.
Man Alice actually looks way better now than he did during this time! Glad he broke his addiction and is still rocking
Greatest live act artist ever. Seen him many times. Never disappoints

I went to Alice Cooper in the 90s, he puts on a great stage show.
Saw him 30 days before this was filmed in Chicago, amazing and my first concert! Really still the best show I ever saw. Alice stage show was ahead of its time for sure.

It really was his nightmare back then I guess
I will still never forget him doing this song on the Muppets show, one of the weirdest and coolest things I have seen to this day. The 70's were pretty damn cool.
I saw that as a kid..I cant find it on you tube tho...
I watched that when I was a kid and that's when I was hooked - been to see Alice every chance I can get ever since :)
Chris J Beautifully said my friend
Damn right
Alice is awesome, so are the Muppets. Pure GREATNESS!!
a fuckin gift of THE 70,''s
I went to an Alice Cooper Welcome to my Nightmare concert back in the 70s. AWESOME.
absolutely incredible .
Taking a time machine back to 1979 TO GO TO THIS CONCERT!!!
I’ve seen Alice Cooper a bunch of times. The last time I saw him was at Trump Marina in Atlantic City N.J.
Alice will always be my fave musician... I’m 61 and been an Alice fan from 1970 on... he is an amazing entertainer

What a great performer
That headprop was realistic. I think it's the same he used on the billion dollar babies tour. Love it.

The Madhouse Rock tour.....1978-79....was in awe!!!!
the greatest solo singer ever
I only finally got a chance to see Alice a few months ago and it was seriously amazing seeing him it only left me wanting more, I been listening to Alice for the past 25 years and seeing the concert live really took me back and had me saying holy crap he is playing that?

THIS is why there IS ALICE COOPER!!!!!!
When I was in first grade, my favorite albums were Irish Rovers (Children of the Unicorn) and Alice Cooper, Welcome To My Nightmare.
Who's listening in 2020?👍🎸🎸🎶🎵🎼
Alice set the premise for Rob Zombie..Love them both and seen em...Great music...
1 of the all time great rock artists of all times, 1977 4 me
I love his performances :*
Such a great influence!
I saw the Welcome to My Nightmare tour. In Grand Forks, ND in 1979. Still top 5 of concerts attended
My first ever concert was Alice Cooper live! I will never forget that day and that's how I became a fan; because of that concert. The first shock rock performer 💥
I love Shout Factory. Thanks to these guys we get the best remasters and re-releases.
I see Prakash John, Steve Hunter (and so probably with Whitey Glan on drums)
The surprise to me was Davey Johnson in the line up, and he seemed made to measure.
I saw this show in Sacramento. It was really well done. Theater rock was really evolving on the stage and Alice had a great show. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on guitars.
+photopicker Real comment. Someone knows the history. We need more history lessens on here!!! Thanks 4 sharing...
+photopicker Davey Johnstone and Steve Hunter. Not Dick Wagner.
+Mark Schu Yeah, I thought I recognized Davey Johnstone there towards the end.
+Mark Schu As in Elton John's Davey Johnstone? wow... I never thought he would have dared.
+zaxxxon Davey is a hell of a musician, and took over for my Father (Dick Wagner) during this tour. Dick was busy with other things, his solo album, working with Tim Curry and Burton Cummings among other projects.
I have been a fan all of my life.
First concert i ever went to was Welcome to my nightmare in Toronto it was awesome
Great show! The Aladdin theater for the performing arts Las Vegas sound quality is 100
A truly set standard.
What a performance ! The most underrated artist of all times .
I saw this very concert or should I say show. In 1979. I was 20 years old.
Wish I could have been there.... I was only 8 at the time.... Love Alice Cooper.... One of my favorite albums from him.
I did too. At the Forum in L.A. so great,!
My dad hitch hiked with me (10) yrs old to the show in Anne arundel co. MD...I will never forget it
Saw this tour in Sacramento. The ever so great Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on guitars.
I still have the album one of the best
DEFINITIVAMENTE EL MAS GRANDE DEL ROCK-SHOW DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS
Can't believe it, he was so skinny...Bad time with alcohol :/But always the best show live , love you Alice
+Hel heim He wasn't actually drinking here, this was after his institution stay where he sobered up. At this time it was all about the coke.
+James Fielding I knew about the drinking but not the coke.
this is Alices totally coked out period
@A Gough coke. Not meth
First time for me to hear this song and damn it's great. No wonder he was an inspiration for Motley Crue and Guns N Roses.
yes,yes,YES! Alice is bad ass.
WoW ! Davey Johnstone ! I had no idea that he performed on this tour with Alice . Kicks Ass Harder than I remember seeing with EJ .
In memory of my little baby brother James Allan Smythe born in AZ; on May 4/1957 to 6/6/2021 found on 6/9/2021 in Barstow, CA
HBD "Hard hearted Alice" Rock on!
Saw him live in the past 6 months - he still rocks it hard! Gotta love the one and only Alice, the Godfather of everything that followed him - 80's metal, 70's punk rock, goth, etc. It all started with Alice. Before Ziggy Stardust, NY Dolls, Sex Pistols, Marilyn Manson, Ozzy, there was Alice...everyone copied him in one way or another.
And to think hes still doing awesome shows today!
heavy metal 🖤🤘
Your best fan for along time. Your music helped me through my early teen years"🌃 mares" especially your early brilliance. "Steven" totally understand it was my refuge. Always a friend. Thank you Alice, Rosario 😎 now😭then

Cooper was just skin and bones.
I know. It's hard 2 believe that he was so skinny.
that what coke does!
Still kinda is
I am proof not all the time lol
And the alcohol that he was throwing up blood from and very nearly died
Pure Alice ....
Whoo! I have some goo goo eyes for Alice!
I was 19 at this show it was awesome
Long Live Alice!
This is badass.

Super bombowa muza Alice Coopera jak zawsze

Second song is 'Billion Dollar Babies'.
The show was great, but when I saw how skinny he was, it scared me.. the cocaine years.. I have seen him 46 times live

I wish the singing was better though. I can easily live without the 'over the top' costumery
