Before Alice Cooper even took the stage at Turning Stone,<\/a> fans were on their feet. They expected the show to be jam packed with entertainment and wanted to see every second of the performance.<\/p>\n

The sold out show on Monday October 21 drew a diverse group to Verona; tweens to those in their 60s came to see Cooper\u2019s brilliantly choreographed production. The show started with Hello Hooray (1972)<\/a> and Cooper set against a backdrop of raining fire. The first act featured ten songs including old favorites No More Mr. Nice Guy (1972) and Department of Youth (1975). About half of the songs performed date from the 1970s but that didn\u2019t bother the fans.<\/p>\n

The guts and gore that brought Cooper his fame were very much part of the show, especially during the second act. Things that most people squirm about: snakes wrapped around a neck, an electric chair, a guillotine, a straight jacket, are what the crowd loved best. The elaborate stage sets are reminiscent of a really good Broadway show, only better because Cooper incorporates smoke and pyrotechnics. The costumes were dynamic and fit in perfectly with the whole aura of grotesque nightmare and the abnormal. Cooper had total control of the stage at all times; he and his band were totally in sync.<\/p>\n

One advantage to being on the short side is that with a full house standing in front of me, I couldn’t always see everything. Which meant — I could hear better. What I heard was a surprisingly strong voice — from the first note to the last. Not only was Cooper very much on his game, but every member of his band is super talented. This team of performers was top notch. And the third act heightened that.<\/p>\n

Act 3 began with Alice rising from the dead in the same graveyard where his \u201cdead, drunk friends\u201d are buried. He brought those \u201cfriends\u201d to life when he performed Break on Through (Jim Morrison), Revolution (John Lennon), Foxy Lady (Jimi Hendrix), and My Generation (Keith Moon). The stage backdrop, featuring gigantic tombstones for each rock \u2018n roll icon, along with Cooper\u2019s amazingly perfect cover was an electrifying tribute.<\/p>\n

Cooper finished the show with three hits, I\u2019m Eighteen (1970), Poison (1989), School\u2019s Out (1972), loads of energy, awesome pyrotechnics, and confetti. At no time did the fans in front of me take their seats, and they were right, every bit of the show was worth seeing.<\/p>\n
