Alice Cooper

In 1988, when Alice Cooper performed live at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, he was riding the wave of resurgence in his career. This concert happened shortly after the release of his 1986 album, "Constrictor," which marked a significant comeback for him after his struggles with addiction and a dip in popularity during the late 70s and early 80s. "Constrictor" featured tracks like "Teenage Frankenstein" and "Simple Disobedience," signaling a return to hard rock. At the time, Cooper was also gaining notoriety for his theatrical live performances, blending music with elements of shock and horror. This live recording reflects not just his musical talent but also his ability to captivate an audience, which has always set him apart in the rock genre. Fun fact: during this period, Alice Cooper began to embrace a more glam metal sound, appealing to a new generation of fans.
