Alice Cooper Live Performance of 'Poison' at Riverside Theater

Venue: Riverside Theater Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States Date: August 8, 2008

In August 2008, Alice Cooper took the stage at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee to deliver a high-energy performance of "Poison," a hit from his 1989 album "Trash." This song really marked a turning point in his career, showcasing a more mainstream rock style while still retaining that signature Alice Cooper flair. By this time, Cooper had significantly revived his career, transitioning from his earlier shock rock persona to embrace a broader audience. Interestingly, "Poison" became one of his most iconic tracks, often associated with his theatrical style. Just before this live recording, his 2007 album "Along Came a Spider" reflected a darker, conceptual approach, yet here in Milwaukee, fans were treated to a classic anthem that reminds us why Cooper remains a legendary figure in rock history.
