Alice Cooper/RI, USA 1975

Charisma in the history of rock recording: Dan Lumpinski’s recording of Alice Cooper is now available. What is engraved in this work is “July 16, 1975 Providence Performance”. This is a superb live album that records the first act of “WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE TOUR” in which he became independent as a solo artist. [Transcendence sound by historical charisma] will be released at the same time as BLACK SABBATH’s Lampinski recording “DEFINITIVE PROVIDENCE 1975”, and this work is the Alice edition. It is a transcendental audience recording recorded at the same “Civic Center” just half a month before SABBATH. The biggest point of this work is the beautiful Lampinski sound, but first of all, the show position. “WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE TOUR” is divided into the 1975 edition immediately after the release of the album and the 1977 edition after the release of the next work “Go to Hell”, but this work is the 1975 edition. Let’s check it out on that schedule. [“Welcome to the Nightmare” released on March 11th]・March 21st – May 5th: North America #1 (29 performances)・May 14th – July 16th: North America #2 (44 performances)←★ Coco★・July 27: Los Angeles performance・August 31-September 17: Europe (13 performances) ← *Official video・December 13-18: North America #3 (6 performances) This is Alice in 1975. The official video work “WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE” is also left from this tour, but it is the London performance of the “European” leg. The Providence performance of this work was a concert on the final day of “North America #2” about two months before that. Well, this work that recorded such a show is truly a beautiful recording of “extreme”. It’s natural that he’s the best because of his charisma, which is said to be on par with that Mike Millard, but it’s still amazing. The direct feel of the core, the fineness of the details, and the luster of the sound are sound board-class…or should I say, it is comparable to the actually officially released professional shot of the London performance. As expected of Lampinski recording. It is a transcendental recording that lives up to its reputation. [An explosive golden age show with many roars] This work has a sound that is completely worthy of being called “just like official”, but this work also has a sense of reality that can never be found in official music. That was…the roar of the audience. I don’t know why, but a big fight breaks out near Mr. Lumpinski. From the opening song, “Welcome To My Nightmare,” there is a dangerous mood inspired by Isshiki. While I’m playing, I’m concentrating on the show, but when the song ends, a voice yells, “Sit down!” and I hear some voices talking. After that, some kind of complaining voice was mixed in with the cheers between songs. It explodes around the middle of “Some Folks”. Shouts of “Fuck you!”, “Hey, sit down!”, “You motherfucker!!”, “I’m not kidding!”, “Fuck you!”, and “Get out!” are heard. What’s more, the voices are a mix of men and women, so it’s not just one or two voices. What’s more, you can even hear them say, “It’s noisy” in a dull voice, whether it’s the person responsible for the problematic behavior or a nearby customer who is fed up with the commotion. Things calm down after about 4 songs, but even as the encore approaches, I can still hear “Sit down!” here and there. The mood is so brutal that it almost resembles a riot. The stage that unfolds despite the commotion in the audience is a “Welcome to Nightmare Show” that will go down in rock history. Compared to the official video of the London performance, the selection is the same, but the order of the songs is different, and the flow is deliciously different. And even more than that is the enthusiastic performance that can only be found in the home country of America. The golden twins of Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter are sharp and clear, and the melody synchronization rate is excellent, and the combination of dialogue is also crisp. The rhythm section of Prakash John and Whitey Gran is also tight, and the iron-clad groove that continues until the traditional official version “THE ALICE COOPER SHOW” is already in the realm of completion. Keyboardist: The five members other than Joseph Shirosky remained an unwavering and impregnable lineup until 1977, and you can enjoy plenty of ensembles worthy of being called the “second ALICE COOPER GROUP.” Dan Lampinski, who changed his equipment at the end of 1974 and entered his heyday, and Alice Cooper, who turned solo and left behind historic masterpieces. This is a super, exquisite cultural heritage that was born because two geniuses shared the same space. It’s simply a masterpiece as a piece of music, but it’s also a vacuum-packed album that captures the “1975 reality” with the passionate and dangerous atmosphere unique to its home country.
