Rock and Roll Vaudeville




Buy Poster from link at page bottom.

I attended one of the most amazing rock concerts ever on july 3rd 1977 in Fort Worth Texas at the Tarrant County Convention Center. The headliner was Alice Cooper. This was the Lace and Whiskey tour. True Rock and Roll Vaudeville. The stage show was mind blowing. I also was dodging fireworks that were being exploded by members of the audience. The show was almost stopped due to the amount of bottle rockets, etc that were going off. The stage show started off with a set of lips talking on a big screen set up behind the drum riser. It was similar to the beginning of the Rocky Horror Picture show. Alice, disguised as a roadie was enticed by the lips to plug in a giant electric cord into a giant wall socket to power up the stage. The lips then asked him to come closer to the screen so she could give him a kiss of thanks. Instead, the lips sucked him through the slits in the screen and started chewing him up. They then said "now thats entertainment" as blood was drooling out of the mouth. The show then started with "No more mr. nice guy". WOW......The stage show included a mock hanging, a guillotine "haircut", Alice chopping up baby dolls, and large dancing spiders. I was seated in the front row of the LOGE and during the show some IDIOT in the upper balcony threw a military style smoke grenade which whizzed by my right ear before it landed on the floor. It missed my head by about 6 inches. I could have easily been killed by it. Better luck next time: I'm still here !!!!!
