Over the years, there have been quite a few reunions of the original ALICE COOPER group – well, sans Glen Buxton, of course, as he passed away before they got together again in 1999, for the first time since 1975 when the ensemble’s singer absconded with their name – the last of these gatherings happening as recently as 2021, yet it’s the band’s October 2015 concert that was preserved for posterity to be released under the title of “Live From The Astroturf” on September 30th. The veterans, augmented with Ryan Roxie on guitar, were invited to the “Good Records store in Dallas and delivered stellar performances of a smattering of their classics which will be out as a CD / DVD or CD / Blu-ray and as a variously colored vinyl / DVD limited edition packages.
The video part will make it only the first pressings of these packages, though, so there’s a reason to hurry and enjoy that – yet the fans would prefer to have the quintet’s old footage, available mostly on bootlegs, to be issued instead. What they receive is to look like this:
