Summary: WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE. OH YEAH!
Review: Vintage Coop! Alice Cooper at the top of his form in this beautifuly remastered DVD. The picture, although a little dark and fuzzy in certain ares is otherwise crisp and vibrant. But it's the sound that truely blew me away. Remixed in Dolby Digital 5.1, this audio format takes full advantage of everything multi-channel sound can do. No matter where in the room I moved I felt I was at a live show. Thundering bass, screaming guitars, and howling vocals filled the room. To bad you can't buy all music and concert videos like this. I highly recomend this DVD to the old Cooper fans as well as the new generation. Kick back, crank it way up, and return to the glory days of '70's rock and roll.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Rent Before You Buy
Review: Was not impressed with the transfer of this movie to DVD. The sound and picture was terrible. Although, it was good to see the
"Alice Cooper" show from the 1970's as it appeared on stage.

Now if Rhino can get ABC to release their "Welcome to My Nightmare" TV special to DVD, that would be great.

There is also a Paul Lynde Halloween show featuring Kiss that
ABC also has ahold of I wish they would release.

Summary: Vintage Coop, Sub-par Quality
Review: What a disappointment. This was released as a concert movie back in the seventies, and the sound is worse than any theater you could imagine. The film is grainy, and the extras negligible. Rhino should do us a real service and find either a master negative for a reissue, or get the rights to the ABC special that aired right when the album "Welcome To My Nightmare" was released. It was a long form video years before MTV. Unless you're a diehard Alice Fanatic, take a pass and move to the better "Brutally Live."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very disappointing
Review: When I got this home, I was expecting something spectacular. For all the praise put on the back of the box, and the fact I've never come across a bad Rhino release before, it should have been the best. Instead, the biggest plus I can find is that I didn't pay a whole lot for it.

The video and audio have aged badly, as expected, but the extras (outside of the interview) were pretty close to nil. I'm sure they could have found something else to put on the disc to make it a good buy. As long as I'm complaining, the album cover graphic on the box has miserable contrast and nearly seems out of focus. To be a petty, obsessive geek, that just irks me. They're Rhino, not Bob's Basement Bootleg Factory, they could do better than that. I guess that sums up my entire complaint. They're a big company releasing one of the coolest concerts of all time, and they toss it out half-arsed like a made-for-the-bargain-bin nostalgia album.

On the plus side, the video isn't as bad as it COULD have been, and is pretty clear outside of the introduction. Alice and the band put on two pretty good shows. The interview doesn't uncover much that hasn't already been said in magazines or on other shows, but it is entertaining. So overall it's a good video to get, as long as you're a fan, and as long as you can catch it on sale or used.
