It’s good to be an Alice Cooper fan in 2025, as it should be for a period when the singer celebrates five decades since the start of his solo career. The veteran’s old band, whose name Vincent Furnier had appropriated, released a new album recently; he’s on a glorious tour at the moment; and now, there’s an archival release scheduled to hit the stores, on CD and vinyl, on November 29th, fifty years to the day after the “Welcome to My Nightmare” film premiered in cinemas.
“Welcome To My Nightmare: Live From The Forum 6/17/75” is not a soundtrack from that movie, as all the recordings here – featuring almost all the tracks from Alice’s debut as an artist in his own right – come from a single show, from Inglewood, California, where Cooper’s accompanists included great guitarists Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter. A fantastic find.
