By December 7, 2017, when Alice Cooper performed at the Olympia in Paris, he was in the midst of promoting his album "Paranormal," which was released earlier that year. This album marked a significant moment in Cooper's career, as it was his first studio album to feature original material in six years and also included collaborations with several notable artists, such as U2's Adam Clayton and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. The "Paranormal World Tour" was intended to showcase this new material, along with Cooper's classic hits, and the Olympia concert highlighted his penchant for theatrical performances. The concert not only served as a celebration of his enduring legacy but also emphasized his ability to blend rock music with elaborate stagecraft, a hallmark of his career since the early 1970s. The live recording stands as a testament to Cooper's ongoing relevance in the rock genre and his connection with audiences across generations.
