Product Description
The Strange Case Of Alice Cooper is more than a concert film. It is the warped tale of one man's descent 'into madness, a theatrical rock 'n' roll spectacle that could only emerge from the twisted imagination of Alice Cooper.
Filmed during a stop on the Madhouse Rock Tour in 1979, Strange Case was inspired by Alice's stay in a New York sanitarium and the people he encountered there. Vincent Price introduces the proceedings as ghoulish doctors and transvestite nurses cross paths with dancing bottles of alcohol. All the while, Alice performs songs off his album From The Inside, as well as many of his most well-known and best-loved hits.

The Strange Case of Alice Cooper Reviews
| 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: The Strange Case of Alice Cooper (DVD) Glad to see this coming out after all these years. I had this concert in Beta Max back in 1982. It was originally titled "The Strange Case of Alice Cooper." Alice looks very pale and skinny as this was shortly after his release from the clinic for his alcohol abuse. The opening song "From the Inside" features dancing bottles of vodka,scotch and tequilla. Typical of Alice's sense of humor. It features several songs from that excellent album. It's the only time I've seen Alice electrocuted on stage. It was also cool to see Davey Johnston from Elton Johns band as lead guitar. The show features songs that Alice doesn't do live anymore along with his classics. For all of Alice fans, buy this dvd. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Strange Case of Alice Cooper (DVD) Finally one of the last lost treasures from Alice comes out. Get to see a lot of songs from one of his most underrated albums From The Inside live. I was dying for this to come out and just pre-ordered it. Now if he would just release Welcome To My Nightmare TV Special (not the concert thats already out) he did that would be great. At least Alice realizes that hardcore fans of his want old stuff to come out. I can't stand bands that only release thier new concerts. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: The Strange Case of Alice Cooper (DVD) I am so excited that "Strange Case of Alice Cooper" is coming out on DVD. I have seen many poor recordings on TV, internet and VHS, and have long stumped to the Alice people that this needed to be added to DVDs. The show was the tour for "From the Inside" which Alice recorded following his stay in rehab. Only there was no such thing as rehab, it was a mental institution and the album, and subsiquent show is based on the people he actually met while getting control of his alcohol problem. In it you can see in his face and lack of weight some of the illness that was part of his struggles with demon rum...or in his case Bud and 7 Crown. Some great additions to this is his attention to making this a production of the album which dominates the set list, but still some of the great classic Coop to go with it. The new songs were co written by Elton John sidekick, Bernie Taupin and the band includes John side man Davey Johnstone on guitar along with Steve Hunter, who rejoined Alice on last... Read more |
