Every Alice Cooper fan should own this DVD., 2010-06-06
This is a fabulous DVD to have to show your kids just how demented you were as a kid. Alice Cooper was ahead of his time sharing his demented mindsets which reflected the angst of the era. The undisciplined era of the teen-age lost soul of the seventies. br / br /I have all his earlier albums up to his 1976 album "Alice Cooper Goes To Hell" and then maybe a few of his better known tracks since then up to now. It's funny how my CD collection of Alice Cooper will jump from his 1976 album to his release in 2000 called "Brutal Planet" which is an excellent Alice Cooper album. Any earlier seventies Alice Cooper fan should have his 2000 album "Brutal Planet." br / br /I had his four CD box set from Rhino, but I found it very disappointing since so many of the tracks were cut short, like the 45 RPM versions, which is disappointing if you're going to commit yourself to the big expense of a box set. br / br /Anyway, this concert performance of Alice Cooper in the year 2000, is a fabulous comeback concert for Alice Cooper. Watching Alice Cooper live these days reminds me of the simpler, better days of my youth that today's kids can never relish the beauty of. br / br /If you have so many things going wrong in your life today (laid off from your job, the wife and you aren't getting along, the computer stresses you out when it never was a concern to you when you were younger), then I will tell you, watching Alice Cooper to escape the realism of your present life, is such a treat. br / br /The hell with everybody else! Cherish your simpler past with the entertaining brutality of the music of Alice Cooper. You'll feel better. I know I do.

One of the best concert films I've seen!, 2009-04-20
Alice Cooper: Brutally Live has been in my Amazon "Wish List" for a while now. This concert was filmed during a time when the Coop was somewhat reinventing himself - mostly musically - introducing a more industrial style. br / br /Although some fans may have been wondering about the direction, this show proves that Alice's head was in the right place. The show itself is spot-on shock rock horror. Dead babies abound. br / br /Quality-wise, this is one of the best concert films I've seen. The film is crisp, the sound is clear, and multi-angles make for a complete package. br / br /As has been usual for Alice, the show features the best of "the latest album" with a litany of greatest hits. "Dead Babies" leads to "Ballad of Dwight Fry" which leads to - what else - the gulliotine - and then Alice-less renditions of "I Love the Dead" and "Black Widow." br / br /As if a highly entertaining and well-shot show with great music wasn't enough, this set includes a CD of the concert. I wish the "Dwight Fry" section of the show was included (could have done without some of the songs we've heard millions of times on other live albums) but this is how concert DVDs should be done - with a CD of the show to take around with you! br / br /It's a great package, very complete, and well-done. Perfect thing for fans and casual Cooperheads alike.

Makes you wish you were there..., 2009-04-18
This is a great DVD for any fan of Alice Cooper. There is a good selection of songs from earlier on through the time of the release of Brutal Planet. The video and sound quality are both good and I like the alternate angles. I was also happy to get the video to 'Gimme', which was rarely seen on TV. br / br /My biggest disappointment is that all of the songs are not on the CD. Although everyone wants to hear the biggest hits, they have already been recorded so many times. I would have left one of them off and at least included 'Pick Up The Bones', a GREAT version of a GREAT song that deserved a spot on the CD. I am glad it included 'It's Hot Tonight' and 'Caught In A Dream'. Overall, it is a good CD with a lot of good songs. br / br /I would recommend this to any fan, old or new. Alice is great and, as usual, he has an awesome band. This is a great show and a lot of fun. br /

AC Pulls it off in style only Alice can, 2008-11-15
Great DVD of a highly charged concert from 2000. The energy AC and his band show in this concert is tremendous. DVD is filmed as if you are attending the concert rather than the terrrible follow-up DVD of AC live at Montreux where the 4 second shots make your head spin. Sound is great, camera angles are great, band is great. It is a winner! One DVD I would definitely purchase for my collection. br /
