Alice Cooper Group - 1972 - ABC In Concert

This excellently ham handed and rocking footage of the Alice Cooper Group was filmed during a 1972 performance at Hofsta University and then broadcast in November as part of the first episode of the ABC In Concert program.

My taste in the music of Alice Cooper is chiefly found in the years 1969 -1973, when the magical music was created by the Alice Cooper Group. I own more than a few of the solo Alice Cooper releases (along with Pretties for You and Easy Action), but almost always find myself listening to the Love It to Death through Muscle of Love records more often than not. This footage revels in sonic and theatrical Grand Guignol exploits; heavy with the sounds of this era. We're treated to live tidbits of: Eighteen, Gutter Cat Vs The Jets, Streetfight, Killer and School's Out.

Bill Hicks - 1988 - Rascals & Dangerfields

Bill Hicks articulated an intelligent and infuriated blend of humor and social commentary during his much too brief time on Earth. He was both erudite and beautifully profane in his ruminations, but his uncompromising ways forced him to pay a price with long time supporter David Letterman eventually censoring what would be Hicks last appearance on his program. Letterman attempted to rectify this years later by having Bill Hicks mom on the show and airing the once offending footage.

The two clips below are taken from U.S. cable comedy specials
from the late 80s.

Rascals - 9 June 1988
