Saw Nurse Rozetta on the side of the stage. You know there's more from the album, From The Inside coming up. And Davey Johnstone from Elton John's band. Nice.
Saw Alice some time in the early seventies... 73-74 my memory of the exact dates is not good. I do remember tho ZZ Top was the opening act...I had never heard of them...they kicked it off with Lagrange 🤯 Epic! Then Alice came out and killed it! He did the guillotine thing...the crowd went nuts!
First big show I ever saw was this lineup in ‘77 Vancouver. Whitey Glan on the kit with the horizontal kick drums. I’ve never seen any video with him until now. Cheers.
damn, i was in fifth grade when i seen this on tv with my older sister. The next day I went to Kmart an got the big green lp vinyl, I didn't pay for either. I was a little hoodlum back then.
Alice Cooper had his own unique style of performing. He was wild! He had some good songs. My two favorites, "I Never Cry" and "You And Me" Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
I feel the same way, but at least both of the guitarists here were actually the very same studio musicians that played the leads on the song Billion Dollar Babies on the original album from the Alice Cooper group.
@@janet.osmonson7451 Well, it's the strange thing about rock & roll: The image of the original band members is important, but the studio cats often had them beat in the sound department. Steve Hunter, the guitarist in the video and on the album, was heads and tails better than Glenn Buxton, who was so drunk-sick and sloppy he couldn't even tour back in the day, much less put his lead guitar on record. And Hunter also played the iconic intro-solo on Aerosmith's Train Kept A Rollin', because Joe Perry just wasn't up to the task. But Perry and Buxton had the rock star posing down pat, and I mean that as a compliment.
I think, that the 'Madhouse Rock Tour' (1979) Band, is the closest to the original Band, it's mostly for Alice's substance abuse, but this Tour was Just as energetic as the original Band 's Killer Tour!
Fantastic channel. I've heard that Rory Gallagher performed on M. Special but I've never seen this video, so I don't know if it's true. Do you know anything about this? Thank you for making all this historical material available.
That looks like Neil Smith, the Alice Coper groups original drummer? I thought he broke ties with those guys in 1975? Unfortunately for him I might add!
@@jammer70s Well then,they're close in looks Fits though,since I've never seen Neil without his signature long hair. Gave me a heart attack for a moment. lol Well,except for now.
I was struck how these guys resembled the original Alice Cooper musicians from a distance. I was puzzled at first, and I knew and hung out with these guys back when they started out.
1976 Richfield Coliseum with Hunter and Wagner…..my first concert. I do not like the most recent bands he has at all….they are good musicians but a lot of phony clothes and posing….cant stand it. Hunter and Wagner were the big dogs……everything else is phony.
I never missed Midnight Special .I remember this like yesterday !
I had no idea he was so scrawny
Saw him in concert then. I see him in concert now. Almost 45 years later and the man still knows how to put on a great show.
almost seems better everytime!
Me too. I don't miss him when he's in town. I saw the From The Inside tour as well.
He looks better now than he did then
I was at this taping of the Midnight Special.... just a little left of the catwalk close to the stage.....
My friend, Steve Hunter, from Decatur Illinois on Stratocaster guitar.😎
I saw him with Alice and the guys here in Phoenix at the Christmas Pudding,downtown in 2010.
this song scared the crud out of me as a kid...lol. Alice...what a performer and showman
1:28 ..snake checks out guitar solos
lol sure did 🤣
Saw Nurse Rozetta on the side of the stage. You know there's more from the album, From The Inside coming up. And Davey Johnstone from Elton John's band. Nice.
Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on guitar!
@@ZombiedustXXX thanks
Steve Hunter and Davey Johnstone on guitar!
@@mikespurgeon3345 I stand corrected!
Love this clip of Alice with two greats in the band, Davey Johnstone and Prakash John.
What about Steve Hunter???
I sure hope you still have the complete show. I was 9 years old but I still remember the interview with Alice. Would love to see it again.
The mighty Whitey Glan on drums….RIP
Interesting set up, I've never been able to get a good look at it, but dudes awesome.

Yeah I have trouble remembering things to. I abused myself back then lol.
Saw him Live in Brussels in 2019 ... Still as good as this was 50 years earlier 😍
The Cod piece looks like AC has followed through. Much like the snakes bowels from abuse of somas. Rock'n'Roll!!!!
Seen this"79" tour and the "78" tour in st.louis.awesome shows 🎸☮️
Love you still Alice
New Haven Coliseum 1977
Great version.....👍👍✌✌
First big show I ever saw was this lineup in ‘77 Vancouver. Whitey Glan on the kit with the horizontal kick drums. I’ve never seen any video with him until now. Cheers.
Huge Cooper fans, we went to concerts in full costumes and face paint. loved it to death.
Great muscle car guy !Great performer
Amazing performance
Thank god for golf Alice!
Under 2 minutes of Rock and Roll!
Every time I see him perform with that snake I think "that poor deaf snake!" 😂
Back when $10 would get you in for an all-day concert featuring Big Bertha, Three Dog Night, Black Oak Arkansas, The James Gang and Alice Cooper.
Please release the songs from his latest album at the time From The Inside
thanks for posting this!
Alice was so awesome back in the day!
Theatrical distractions are fine, I suppose, but the real star here is the band playing behind the theater star. So tight, so underrated.
Agree, but Alice also sounds amazing here!
W/ out Alice that band would be nowhere.
@@jimilove7773 And without the band Alice would be a two bit side show performer off broadway.
@@gtucker7848man, this is not the original AC band.
damn, i was in fifth grade when i seen this on tv with my older sister. The next day I went to Kmart an got the big green lp vinyl, I didn't pay for either. I was a little hoodlum back then.
You stole a big record? lmao did you try to "hide" it?😆
@@_hellohooray He folded it up and put it in his back pocket! 🤣🤣
Thanks for Alice Cooper ❤
... The Midnight Special... Literalmente, um SHOW de bizarrices do lendário e único... 🤘🏻💀💭... 'Alice Cooper & Sssssnake'... 🐍... Genial..!!

@@_hellohooray... Cobras no palco são a marca dos concertos teatrais e do grande 'Alice'... 🐍... Sssssnake... Bravo..!!

A preview of what I'll be seeing in September
Not at all, but yeah he stills badass
Great concerts in the 70s.
Budweiser and alice!! Early 70s- billy 6 pack in queens!!!
Alice Cooper had his own unique style of performing. He was wild!
He had some good songs. My two favorites, "I Never Cry" and "You And Me"
Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Alice still puts on great concerts, complete with stage show.
@AnthonyStJames That's fantastic! To still be able to do what you love doing. Thank you for sharing! 💖
All these years later, and I'm still mad that he ditched the original band. I know how to hold a grudge
I feel the same way, but at least both of the guitarists here were actually the very same studio musicians that played the leads on the song Billion Dollar Babies on the original album from the Alice Cooper group.
@@publicanimal Very true!
True yes,but pretty sure I saw originals do Billion and I'll take them all day long over studio cats haa

his act hasn't changed since 3000 BC
he's laughin all the way to the bank...a big bank...
ya i know...kind of strange but kind of good too i guess. Same ol same ol.
Hey midnight special can you please upload the other two johnny winter clips,thanks in advance
Sounds great, but only two minutes? Either edited or more likely, part of a medley, I would think.
Holy crap, this is gold
The OG.
ha! Davey Johnstone on stage with them!!
Great interview with the 50 year release of BDB with Alice Dennis Neil and Michael.
Amazing.
Who is on the drums? Looks like Neil Smith.
Pentti "Whitey" Glan.
Waiting for the NY Dolls gig in the show!
Vince is a moron for breaking up the original band 🤪
isn't that Steve Hunter on guitar on the left?
Wish Donovan could have performed this with him.
Ya,it really wudda been cool to see that..
Fantastic channel. I've heard that Rory Gallagher performed on M. Special but I've never seen this video, so I don't know if it's true. Do you know anything about this? Thank you for making all this historical material available.
1979
What year was this? This was after 1976 it appears as the original band is gone
Alice is def not doing well here but this is iconic.
Help a brotha out: Guitarist playing the Les Paul is Steve Hunter? and Dick Wagner on the Strat?
Steve Hunter on the Strat, Davey Johnstone (Elton John) on the Les Paul.
Put the Show in Showman. Thank you.
My parents hated Alice. Made me so happy.
That looks like Neil Smith, the Alice Coper groups original drummer? I thought he broke ties with those guys in 1975? Unfortunately for him I might add!
This is Fantastic!!! Thank you Alice!!!
Why are the bass drums layed horinzontally ?
OH MY GOD!! NEIL'S GOT SHORT HAIR!!! (the drummer)
Nope. That's Petti "Whitey" Glan on drums, same guy as on the Welcome To My Nightmare album.
@@jammer70s Well then,they're close in looks Fits though,since I've never seen Neil without his signature long hair. Gave me a heart attack for a moment. lol Well,except for now.
Here's my legendary forever and ever and ever
Ahhh
What year was this? 74?
No, From the Inside was released in 1978 so probably 1978
Who’s the guy on bass guitar? It’s not Dennis.
I was struck how these guys resembled the original Alice Cooper musicians from a distance. I was puzzled at first, and I knew and hung out with these guys back when they started out.
Mayor of Palm Springs
Thankfully he learned how to act like and not be Alice. Otherwise he wouldn’t still be Rockin’ today.
Sorry but the band is terrible. Sorely missing original band members Michael, Neal, Dennis, and especially Glen Buxton.
Why the other band members don’t fit Alice style lmao it’s like accidentally performed with the wrong group
Господи Иисусе Христе помилуй нас грешных! Какой он страшный служит дьяволу
This makes Marlyn Manson look tame.
Original band way better .
Sux
1976 Richfield Coliseum with Hunter and Wagner…..my first concert. I do not like the most recent bands he has at all….they are good musicians but a lot of phony clothes and posing….cant stand it. Hunter and Wagner were the big dogs……everything else is phony.
now Poison please
Sorry gang, this ain't AC, this is five-sixths a cover band, this is junk!!!
Twat. This was great band in its own right - better players actually than the original ACB.
🙄
Entertainer yes...singer no.
he's great.
Alices band is called Ultra Latex
