Alice Cooper

In 1987, during the recording of 'Alice Cooper - Live in New Haven,' the legendary shock rocker was riding high on the success of his album 'Constrictor,' which had been released a year prior. This album marked a significant comeback for Cooper, embracing a heavier sound that resonated with the burgeoning glam metal scene of the late '80s. Interestingly, during this time, he was known for his theatrical performances, often blending music with elaborate stage antics, a practice that solidified his status as an icon in rock history. The New Haven concert captured the energy of this resurgence and showcased songs that appealed both to longtime fans and a new audience. Did you know that just a few years earlier, he struggled with substance abuse? This concert symbolized not just a revival of his music, but of his career as a whole.
