Taken from the NMMNG Tour, this is a really good set list. Are there tracks I wish he would have done? Of course. Do we really need another live version of "Poison" or "18"? Not really. But for what it is, this is a fun and worthwhile album. I saw him less than a month after it was recorded and the show was stellar.The downsides, other than some glaring omissions of other classic songs, are two: First, the sound quality isn't nearly as good as prior live efforts, such as the last live DVD, "Theatre of Death". To me, it sounds like a soundboard recording. The audience is back in the mix, and at certain points some guitars sound more like background playing, rather than being higher in the mix, as a proper Alice show has them. But! Don't let that be a turn-off. It's not bad sounding, it's just not loud enough.
Second, the dreadful version of "Fire" - this is not Alice's cover of the Hendrix classic that he recorded in the 90s. Alice brought Arthur Brown onstage to do his tribute to pyromaniacs. Brown's voice sounds terrible, at best. Thankfully it's the last track on the second CD and easy to skip.
Again, though, this is a killer live album. "Brutal Planet" is heavy and, well, BRUTAL. The extended "Halo of Flies" is done perfectly, and the other tracks sound really good. The band, lead by one of Alice's old cohorts, Steve Hunter, is on top of its collective game. And Alice's voice is rough, as we like it, but much more in tune and listenable than "Theatre of Death", where he seemed to shout everything and lost track of the melody on many tunes. My advice is to buy this immediately.

Vincent Damon Furnier...that's "Alice" to you...serves up a two-CD memento from his October 29th, 2011 show at London's Alexandra Place. As you might expect, Alice knows what the fans came for. A little less than half of the 98-minute set, 10 songs, are drawn from the catalog of the original Alice Cooper band. There's one track from the new Welcome 2 My Nightmare, and three from the original Welcome to My Nightmare album. Alice's voice is a little more ragged around the edges than it was in his 70s heyday, ducking the occasional high note here and there, but for the most part it's not an issue. The only song that really falls flat is "Feed My Frankenstein," and that's because the original was so heavily produced and featured the dueling guitars of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, while this one doesn't. Great to hear the song, but the original set the bar so high that it's impossible not to be at least a little disappointed.The original show aired on U.S. and U.K. television, and was also sold on CD as an "instant live" release, so this isn't "new" to hardcore Alice fans. For everyone else, it's a romp through the hits. Three solid stars.

Alice Cooper always delivers live and this is no exception. Killer set list that flows wonderfully, all key points in Coopers career are touched on which is a real treat for fans as he has a vast library of amazing music. I'm not sure what the other reviewer was expecting, maybe a lip sync or live in studio with band aids!?? Alice does not need it and holds his own with this set. Money well spent, and a great fan treat from the shock rock master.
Listmania!
