Alice Cooper Credit: Rustyn Rose/Metalholic.comAlice Cooper is an icon among legends. That’s right he’s a legend even among his own lofty brethren. Last night the 64-year-old lord of shock rock returned to Boise (long overdue we might add) for a packed show at the new Revolution Concert House. Cooper is a rarefied breed of rockstar. He gave birth to a genre that opened doors for the likes of Kiss, New York Dolls, and all the bands that would come later like Marilyn Manson, Motley Crue, and just about any artist who puts theater into their stage performances.

While most might be wondering when Cooper might settle down, it’s clear from last night’s concert he has no intention of hitting the brakes anytime soon. Armed with one of the best bands in the business, and a crowd fired up by fiery opening act Halestorm, Cooper took the stage in a shower of raining sparks to his classic cover of Judy Collin’s “Hello Hooray”. For the next 90 minutes, and two dozen songs, Cooper and company delivered a tight set of classic Alice as well as newer material, and even a surprise tribute to some fellow legends.

Last Saturday night (11.17.12) I was lucky enough to be in attendance at Northern Quest (NQ) Casino to see Alice Cooper and his band perform. From the time that their feet hit the stage, until their final encore bow, each member of the band were total professionals. Alice demonstrated why he deserved to be inducted into the Rock ‘n' Roll Hall of Fame. Alice, and his band, had people standing on their feet for the entire concert. The energy and professionalism Alice exuded on stage had the audience grinning from ear to ear the entire evening.
Orianthi, the band's lead guitarist, is not only a virtuoso on guitar, but it is also hard not to take your eyes off of her because she is so beautiful. Alice, don't worry, you are still beautiful too.
I would also like to acknowledge the entertainment coordinator at NQ for continuing to provide Spokane with such quality entertainment.
Alice, thank you for a night to remember and thank you for the autographs. I hope that you enjoy the print of the Grass Dancer. You are a wonderful individual and a consummate performer.
