Alice Cooper

In the live recording of "Be My Lover/Only Women Bleed/I Never Cry," Alice Cooper was in a transitional phase in his career during the mid-1970s. This performance is representative of his album "Alice Cooper Goes to Hell," which was released in 1976, just after the commercial success of "Welcome to My Nightmare" in 1975. The shows during this period were known for their theatricality, culminating in Cooper’s reputation as a pioneer of shock rock. The live medley includes some of his most iconic songs, showcasing his ability to blend hard rock with compelling narratives—particularly with "Only Women Bleed," a significant hit that addressed themes of domestic struggles. This era marked the peak of his artistic persona, where he fully embraced his character and intricate stage performances, which were integral to his identity as an artist.
