Alice Cooper

The live recording of "Alice Cooper - Poison," captured at the Wacken Open Air festival on October 20, 2013, is part of the album "Raise the Dead - Live from Wacken." This album highlights Cooper's remarkable longevity and relevance in the rock scene, showcasing performances from a career that spans several decades. Prior to this release, Cooper had been enjoying a resurgence in the 2000s, with successful albums such as "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" (2011) which marked a creative reinvention for him. Notably, "Raise the Dead" features the trademark theatrical elements that Cooper is known for, including elaborate stage setups and costumes.
