Good set list. It's on my radar; but as I have multiple versions of most of this I want to hear it before deciding my interest level.

No kidding. Pulled Halo of Flies out of the archives. This may be worth the price of admission for that one song alone. Hopefully they didn't edit it down to 3 minutes.

Killer & Love It To Death are my 2 fav AC albums. I remember listening to Halo ripped on acid at the age of 15 (or I sorta remember it!) It was very cool.

Killer is my favorite. Heard Alice play the entire Halo of Flies when he played with Heaven and Hell and I thought I was going to jump out of my skin it was so good.

Two albums that I can say every song is superb is Killer and the 1st Montrose album. All "killer, no filler".

Can't say for the live album, but the two times I saw him last tour, they did not. It was impressive. HOF is not my favorite Alice tune, but the performance gave me chills and had me tearing up because I never thought I'd see it live.

There was an eleven-minute version of "Halo Of Flies" on Alice's 2011 live album, "No More Mr. Nice Guy".

The song that caught my eye is "Pain", from "Flush The Fashion" and the "Roadie" soundtrack. Other than "Clones", Cooper has all but disavowed that early-80's era of his career. Maybe he'll add "I Love America" to his stage show at some point.

The 2CD set is now available for pre-order. I've added a link to the opening post.

For vinyl collectors and Alice Cooper completists, the vinyl edition will have a different cover that looks like this:

I'm a weird Alice Cooper fan. I love nearly all his ballads, and i'm not usually a fan of the 'power ballad' but Alice Cooper does them so convincingly.
You and Me is a magnificent song. Apparently this is a superb set.

"You And Me" is the only song my wife has ever specifically asked me to record for her. We met Alice at a pop culture con earlier this year. I got a pic signed, and my wife went through the line with me just so she could say hello. (She forgot to say hooray.). While I was getting the pic signed, I told him that story, and he looked up at her and said, "Good taste. That's a great song."

This is quite good. Possibly his best live album.

Got my copy today. It got somewhat chewed up in the shipping process, so I shipped it back. Replacement should be here Sunday.

In the meantime, I have Amazon’s streaming (yay, free trial) to hold me over.

Agreed. It's a very good album. Halo Of Flies is worth the price of admission.
