Set 1 | Don't Blow Your Mind
The Spiders An unreleased version of the Spiders single not included in the Rhino box set "The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper." Avalon Ballroom San Francisco 30March1969 No Longer Umpire / Reflected / 10 Minutes Before the Worm / Sing Low, Sweet Cheerio / B.B. on Mars / Fields of Regret / Nobody Likes Me / Don't Blow Your Mind If you've never heard Pretties for You or Easy Action-era Alice, you don't know what you're missing--but here's you chance to find out. As Frank Zappa once told the band, "I play with some of the best musicians in the world, but it would take them a month to learn some of your songs." And here's why! If "Reflected" sounds familiar, that's because it was reworked a few years later into the Cooper classic "Elected." Seattle 1971 Sun Arise / Caught in a Dream / Is It My Body? / Second Coming / The Ballad of Dwight Frye / Black Juju Here's where the band was just hitting their stride, after practically being re-taught to play their instruments by producer Bob Ezrin. The tension you hear isn't your imagination (totally); by this time the band was not only redefining their own image but re-estabishing the boundaries of rock and roll, for themselves, a generation of fans, and, yes, a galaxy of imitators. Can you say Marilyn Manson? Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles 23July1972 intro by Wolfman Jack / Public Animal #9 / Be My Lover / I'm Eighteen / Is It My Body? / Halo of Flies / Gutter Cat vs. the Jets / Street Fight / Killer / Long Way to Go / School's Out Ah, yes! Released on vinyl as "You're All Crazier than I Am," probably our favorite Cooper boot. Whatta show this is. Wolfman Jack introduced the band (after taking the stage on a camel!) before they launched into a wonderful performance on what must have been a hot, hot night. You need only listen to "Halo of Flies" to know what we mean! Keep an ear peeled during "School's Out" as one of the audience members says, "Look at the helicopters!" They were dropping panties on the crowd at the time . . . Pittsburgh 1972 Be My Lover / You Drive Me Nervous / Yeah Yeah Yeah / I'm Eighteen / Halo of Flies / Is It My Body? Another excellent show that includes a nice version of "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah." Portland 24May1973 Unfinished Sweet / Sick Things / Dead Babies / I Love the Dead / School's Out The sound is a little choppy here, and the tape badly edited, but this is an interesting document of a '73 show that we had to include because everyone should hear "Dead Babies" live at least once! The way you archive these files is up to you, depending on how you maintain your collection. Save each show to a separate disc if you like, or burn them in order. To burn to CD-DA with an eye to conservation of media and chronological integrity, may we suggest, Disc 1: Don't Blow Your Mind Avalon Ballroom Seattle Disc 2: Hollywood Bowl Disc 3: Pittsburgh Portland |
