Alice Cooper

In the live recording at Capitol Theatre on October 10, 1981, Alice Cooper was in a vibrant phase of his career marked by his comeback after a brief hiatus. Just before this concert, he had released the album "Flush the Fashion" in 1980, which showcased a more new wave sound, reflecting the evolving music scene of the time. During this concert, fans would have experienced hits from that album, along with classics that defined Cooper’s theatrical style. Interestingly, this performance was part of a broader reinvention for Cooper, who integrated punk elements into his glam-rock roots, a move that was both risky and rewarding. His capacity to blend elaborate stage theatrics with raw musical energy made this live show a highlight, further solidifying his status as the 'Godfather of Shock Rock.' Cooper's dramatic flair and charismatic presence surely added to the electrifying atmosphere of the night.
