Watch ALICE COOPER’s Full Concert at the 2024 Orange County Fair

Live Rock Music Concerts uploaded a video of Alice Kuiper‘s full concert on August 16 at Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, California as part of Orange County Fair‘s Pacific Amphitheatre concert series. Check it out below.

Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood, and boa constrictors. He continues to tour regularly, performing worldwide with the dark, horror-themed theatrical acts for which he is best known.

In a recent interview with the 96.1 KLPX radio station, Cooper said of how his stage show has evolved over the years: “It’s so funny because in the ’70s it was easy to shock an audience. Now no one really tries — we don’t really try to shock the audience. I don’t think anyone is ‘shock rock’ anymore, but those elements still remain in the show because they’re fun to watch. It’s still fun to watch the guillotine and the fact that you really believe in it because of what happens before it. You really care about this character Alice up there, what’s happening. And that’s what I like about it. I want the audience to be involved in the show. We don’t do a lot of lasers. We don’t do that kind of stuff because I want the focus to be on the character Alicewhat happens to him and what exactly he does. But it all happens during all those songs that everyone knows — ‘Feed my Frankenstein’ And ‘Poison’ And ‘No more Mr. Nice Guy’ and of course, ‘School is out’ “at the end.”

Fresh off the success of his latest album “Gone”a concept album about the thrill and excitement of touring, Alice is, as always, accompanied by his long-running live band of Ryan Roxie (guitar),Chuck Garric (bass),Tommy Henriksen (guitar),Glen Sobel (drums) and Nita Strauss (guitar).

With a schedule that includes six months of the year on the road, Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans, both old and new, and enjoys it as much as the audience. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper (both in the original ALICE COOPER band and as a solo artist) has shaken the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and radiating danger everywhere, like a great horror film, even in an era when CNN can present shocking images from real life.

Now that his influence on rock ‘n’ roll and popular culture has long been recognized, there is little that Cooper has achieved nothing short of remarkable in his remarkable career, which includes platinum albums, sold-out tours and countless awards and career rewards.
