Alice Cooper - 'Live' (Disky), December 1, 2005
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
Different cover,but exact same track listing as the live 'Fistful Of Alice' CD(see my review).Pretty much most if not all the hits are here,plus two of what I consider to be deep album cuts,Alice's own personal tribute to Jim Morrison "Desperado" and "Teenage Lament '74" off the 'Muscle Of Love' lp.Pretty much aimed at the completists.

This is getting rerererererereleased again?, September 5, 2009
I bought this CD under the title "The Freakout Album." It's an EXTREMELY raw recording by the original Alice Cooper band. Most of the album is painful to hear, but there is a little gem in here..."Nobody Likes Me." Asidefrom that there are a couple of songs that sound nothing like Alice ("Going to the River"). If you want to listen to good quality 'early' Alice Cooper stuff buy "Easy Action," "Pretties for You," "Billion Dollar Babies," "Love it to Death," or "Killer." Those have great rock music.
If you want to own something for the sake of owning it... then buy this... if you are looking for great Alice Cooper music... SKIP IT!
I am a hardcore Alice Fan and there is no other album I rank less than a 4 (on a 1 to 5 scale). Alice is God and is undeservedly underrated.

Don't Buy This !, August 27, 2010
This awful bootleg has been issued and reissued for over 30 years. I have it on LP. It's an amateur recording made at the September 13, 1969 Toronto Rock 'n' Roll Revival held at the football stadium of the University of Toronto.
Why does it sound so bad? For one thing, the concert promoter (Detroit's "Uncle" Russ Gibb) was a cheapskate, and provided only the minimum P.A. system, and this did not include stage monitors (which is why you often see photos of singers of that day singing with one finger in an ear so they could hear themselves).
My guess is that, "Ain't That Just Like A Woman?" and "Goin' to the River," the two songs obviously not sung by Alice Cooper are by '50s rebel Gene Vincent, who the Alice Cooper Band, formerly known as The Spiders, often backed up. He played earlier that day.
