Alice Cooper: The No More Mr Nice Guy Tour

I saw Alice Cooper on August 9 at the Akron Civic Theatre. I have to say, that man puts on a hell of a show. For a guy in his 60s, he can still jump around and his voice sounds great. He sang a lot of his classics plus threw in some 80s and 90s songs. He also did a song form his soon to be released album Welcome 2 My Nightmare. The only real surprise was that he didn't sing Welcome To My Nightmare.

Here's the setlist --

Alice Cooper’s widely anticipated new album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, will be released September 13, 2011, by Universal Music Enterprises. Recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original multi-platinum Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975, the album picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind.
