It's good to see you again Alice Cooper

It's always a good time for a concert (in my opinion) and so the wife and I headed out to the local summer festival grounds to catch some so-so bands and then a couple of my favorites, Blue Oyster Cult and Alice Cooper (I am probably showing my age here......)

BOC was an opener in this show, and they did a nice job, albeit a little short. It is always good to hear (Don't Fear) The Reaper live, although it would have been nice to hear Astronomy and Flaming Telepaths as well. They have an extensive back catalog, and I have heard them all play those in the past.

Alice must be 60 years old, but he came out and did an OUTSTANDING show. The guys in his band looked to be about 15 (I am exaggerating since the guitarists both wore wedding rings, so unless they are from Arkansas or Pennsylvania they have to be age of majority (or just wearing the rings for some odd fashion sense)) but they weren't out of place at all. VERY high energy, and although it seemed to me that Alice threw in more medley type stuff than usual (I know that he has about 1000 songs that people want to hear) he managed to hit everything I could think of as a "must hear". As a bonus, we even had blood spewed on us after poor Alice was guillotined and his severed head was paraded around the stage. It made for a nice weekend!
