Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 36 Average rating: 3.5 "it's a nightmare dvd" I am a fan of Alice Cooper since 70's and when i bought this dvd I thought to see good music and best show, the video is from 1975 and the quality is very poor, the music sounds bad and the perfomance was recorded worst.I think Alice Cooper has better shows and I hope to see one with good sound and perfomance. Este DVD esta muy mal hecho, el sonido y el show estan muy mal grabados,creo que Alice Cooper debe tener un mejor show y espero encontrar otro DVD con buena calidad. "Squeeze me in a farm" It goes without saying that this is a must have(or at least a must see) for Alice Cooper fans. It's great to see a show that I was too young to see(in fact, not even born yet). Wow, I'm sure there were no concerts back then like that one. Or even today for that matter. It's an awesome merging of a rock concert and a broadway musical done only how Alice can. However, they should have used different performances for this movie because quite frankly, Alice does a horrible job vocally. At least for the first half. You can tell he is totally plastered. I know that this is supposed to be part of the "Alice" character, but lets not kid ourselves: He's tanked. It looks as though he's running totally on instinct from doing the show so much! He forgets lyrics, screws them up(Ethyl, Ethyl come and squeeze me in a farm?), and tends to repeat the first verse of a song over and over again. It's pretty funny, but like I said, a must for Alice fans. "Vintage Coop, Sub-par Quality" What a disappointment. This was released as a concert movie back in the seventies, and the sound is worse than any theater you could imagine. The film is grainy, and the extras negligible. Rhino should do us a real service and find either a master negative for a reissue, or get the rights to the ABC special that aired right when the album "Welcome To My Nightmare" was released. It was a long form video years before MTV. Unless you're a diehard Alice Fanatic, take a pass and move to the better "Brutally Live." "Decent, but not the best." When I got this home, I was expecting something spectacular. For all the praise put on the back of the box, and the fact I've never come across a bad Rhino release before, it should have been the best. Instead, the biggest plus I can find is that I didn't pay a whole lot for it. The video and audio have aged badly, as expected, but the extras (outside of the interview) were pretty close to nil. I'm sure they could have found something else to put on the disc to make it a good buy. As long as I'm complaining, the album cover graphic on the box has miserable contrast and nearly seems out of focus. To be a petty, obsessive geek, that just irks me. They're Rhino, not Bob's Basement Bootleg Factory, they could do better than that. I guess that sums up my entire complaint. They're a big company releasing one of the coolest concerts of all time, and they toss it out half-arsed like a made-for-the-bargain-bin nostalgia album. On the plus side, the video isn't as bad as it COULD have been, and is pretty clear outside of the introduction. Alice and the band put on two pretty good shows. The interview doesn't uncover much that hasn't already been said in magazines or on other shows, but it is entertaining. So overall it's a good video to get, as long as you're a fan, and as long as you can catch it on sale or used. "Very disappointing" I have been a fan of Alice Cooper for many years and bought the DVD based on the songs listed on the backcover. I was very disappointed in the quality of the live show. It was very inferior to the studio recordings. Perhaps it has some value for collectors of Alice Cooper but I was disappointed and will not watch it again. A waste of money as far as I am concerned
