Alice Cooper

In the electrifying New Year's Eve concert at Toronto's SkyDome on December 31, 1989, Alice Cooper was riding high on the wave of his comeback in the late '80s. Just a year prior, he had released 'Trash,' an album that marked a significant resurgence in his career, featuring hits like 'Poison' that introduced him to a new generation of rock fans. Before this live recording, Cooper underwent a transformative period, overcoming personal struggles and embracing a theatrical style that combined rock music with captivating stage performances. What's interesting is that the 'Trash' album was produced by the hitmaker Desmond Child, who helped craft a sound that was both commercially appealing and true to Cooper's wild persona. This live show not only showcased his iconic hits from that era but also displayed his unique flair for theatricality, as he invited fans on a wild ride of shock rock that continues to influence artists today.
