Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper Live Performance of Go To Hell at El Paso Coliseum
In April 1980, Alice Cooper performed 'Go To Hell' live at the El Paso Coliseum, a pivotal moment during a dynamic phase in his career. This performance came shortly after the release of his album 'From the Inside,' which showcased a more personal side of Cooper as it was inspired by his own struggles with addiction and recovery. The title track, along with songs like 'How You Gonna See Me Now,' hinted at a profound introspection, setting the stage for his theatrical shows. Interestingly, the El Paso concert was part of a larger tour that highlighted his commitment to blending hard rock with an electrifying stage presence, capping off the '70s and transitioning into the '80s. Cooper's ability to fuse drama with music, exemplified during this live recording, made him a defining figure in the rock genre, raising the question: who else could combine horror, humor, and rock 'n' roll so effortlessly?
