Alice Cooper Live Performance of Poison at Athens TV Special

Venue: Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium Location: Athens, Greece Date: July 19, 1990

In July 1990, Alice Cooper delivered a powerful performance of "Poison" at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium in Athens, Greece, during a TV special. This was right around the time he was riding the waves of his commercial comeback with the album "Trash," which had been released just a year earlier in 1989. "Trash" marked a pivotal moment in his career, featuring hits like "Poison" that rejuvenated his image and introduced him to a new generation. Interestingly, the live recording showcases Cooper's theatrical style, a hallmark of his performances, which often blend rock music with elements of horror and drama. By this point, he had evolved not just as a musician but as a cultural icon, demonstrating resilience in adapting to changing music landscapes while maintaining his unique identity. Watching this performance, you can truly feel the electricity in the air as he captivates the crowd.
