Alice Cooper

In 2008, Alice Cooper was riding high on a resurgence of popularity, following his 2008 album "Along Came a Spider." This project, which showcased his signature shock rock style, was a concept album revolving around a kidnapping story—a fitting theme for the theatrical nature of his performances. At the Ottawa Civic Centre, where this live recording took place, fans experienced Cooper's iconic blend of horror and rock, highlighted by his elaborate stage shows featuring props like guillotines and snakes. Interestingly, by this point in his career, Alice had become a prominent figure not just in music, but also in pop culture, frequently appearing in movies and television. This concert captured him at a moment where he merged nostalgia with contemporary excitement, reminding audiences why he’s still lauded as the godfather of shock rock.
