Alice Cooper

In 2009, Alice Cooper was deep into his iconic status, riding high on his legacy as the godfather of shock rock. Before the live recording of "Poison" at the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow, he had released the studio album "Along Came a Spider" in 2008, which showcased his knack for storytelling through music, wrapping listeners up in a dark, theatrical narrative. The performance captured here reflects not only his enduring appeal but also his commitment to theatricality, a signature of his shows. The Theatre of Death tour was a spectacle in its own right, featuring a mix of elaborate visuals and classic hits, where he embraced the darker themes he's known for. What's fascinating is that "Poison," released back in 1989, solidified Cooper's re-emergence as a rock force in the late 80s, bridging generations of fans. The energy in Glasgow that night must have been electric, illustrating just how timeless his music truly is.
