Product Description

They billed it as "the film that outgrosses them all," but if some of the antics on display in Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper - Live 1973 seem fairly mild some thirty years after the fact, that's mainly because people like Marilyn Manson and some of the more lurid punk and metal acts copped many of their moves from Cooper in the first place. This movie, which combines footage from the band's Billion Dollar Babies concert tour with what might charitably be described as a storyline, had a brief theatrical run in the mid-'70s but has been mostly unseen until this DVD release, which features a high definition transfer and a new sound mix. The group (with its namesake singer joined by original members Michael Bruce and Glen Buxton on guitar, Dennis Dunaway on bass, and drummer Neal Smith) was in the midst of a nice run of hits at the time; "No More Mr. Nice Guy," "Eighteen," and "School's Out" are all ably performed here, but it's the stage show in all its Grand Guignol glory that's the prime attraction. Clockwork Orange-style violence, necrophilia, decapitation via guillotine, humping mannequins, sticking baby dolls with swords: that and more is on display here, all in the name of what Cooper, whose commentary track is the major bonus feature, describes as "performance art." Well, maybe. Most of it comes off as little more than a hodgepodge of disconnected images--some vile and vulgar, some merely silly--designed to thrill the kids and piss off the parents, which it most certainly did and ain't that what rock & roll is all about? As for the "story" (something about a crazed film director out for vengeance after Alice ruins his masterpiece) that's intercut with the concert numbers, the best that can be said about it is that viewers have the option of choosing the "play concert only" option. --Sam Graham

We begin with the boys of the Alice Cooper group trashing and storming off a movie set where they were forced to wear ridiculous powder wigs and sing showtunes. This causes the tempermental and vengeful European director and his giant Nordic assistant to try and hunt down "The Cooper Gang". The only redeemable moment in this mess is when the boys escape via elephant (don't ask) Monkees-style in fast-motion while "Halo of Flies" plays in the background.
Now, the bad: While it's great that Shout! Factory put this out and probably did their best with the source elements, there is plenty of dirt, debris and blemishes on the print. Those expecting Hi-Def remastering and pristine picture and sound quality will be sorely disappointed.
Which brings us to the good: At least by accessing the Special Features, you can choose the "Play Concert Only" option and spare yourself the pain of the "comedy" segments.
The concert itself, the 1973 Billion Dollar Babies Tour, is fantastic and must-see viewing for fans of the Alice Cooper Group. Alice sports a pair of thigh-high leopard print boots over a tattered leotard while the band look sharp in white sequined suits. There is never a dull moment as Alice frolics and molests various dismembered female mannequin bodyparts; is chased by a crazed dentist, then himself chases a dancing molar with a giant toothbrush; threatens a cocky audience member; pins a giant insect to his crotch; picks out female audience members to kiss while avoiding the jailbait; and is decapitated by a guillotine.
The majority of the set list is understandably culled from "Billion Dollar Babies", though we are treated to "Eighteen", "Under My Wheels" and an abbreviated "Dead Babies". "My Stars" comes off much better here than on the "School's Out" album and is accompanied by an elaborate (for 1973) light show.
My favorite moments include the "Raped and Freezin'/No More Mr. Nice Guy" medley, which begins with Alice, Michael, Glen and Dennis all standing shoulder-to-shoulder rocking out--something we usually never got to see as the band always had their usual positions--while Neal works his magic from a specially-built drum kit platform; and "Sick Things" which Alice performs while Kuchina the snake wraps herself around him (he actually needs to be "rescued" when the reptile obscures his face and he can't project into the mic). It ends when Alice raises the American flag and the band pummel a Richard Nixon lookalike and carry him offstage before they take their well-deserved final bows.
Despite the problems of this DVD, any fan of the Alice Coooper group needs to see this. I only wish we had such a great video document of the "Killer" tour as the "Love It to Death/Killer" era with Alice in the spider makeup is my favorite and when I believe the boys were at their most creative.
