Alice Cooper Chicken Toronto Incident 1969 (Full)

This is the infamous "chicken incident" that occurred at the 1969 Rock N Roll Revival concert in Toronto, Canada. The Alice Cooper Group was playing a jam when a chicken was tossed on stage. Alice picked it up and tossed it back into the audience. The front row (which were handicapped guests) caught the bird and ripped it to shreds!!!

The next day Frank Zappa (the band's producer at the time) called Alice and asked, "Did you bite the head off a chicken on stage?" Alice laughed and denied it but Frank told him to let the press eat it up!

Here's a fun fact that barely anybody knows: The chicken incident happened more than once. The first time was in London with The Mothers of Invention, where Alice accidentally threw the chicken into the ceiling of the venue and it died on impact. The first time the audience ripped up the chicken was in San Berdino. This act was planned by the group! This is a fact from a 1969 interview.

wow thank you ive been looking for this for many years...but where is the rest of the footage i know there must be more..can any one help me..

[LuneyTune72]

@realityeaters The whole concert is unreleased. This footage surfaced amongst traders most likely because of Brian "Renfield" Nelson, Alice's last assistant and biggest fan (RIP.) If you find the rest of this concert then I say you found gold because it is rare...and may not even exist.

the part at 8:07 sounds like something off Pink Floyd's umma-gumma

[LuneyTune72]

@TheCozybear65 It's possible since this took place in September of1969 and Ummagumma was recorded in April/May of 1969 (although it wasn't released until October.) The Alice Cooper Group used to live with Pink Floyd around this time. They were once drugged before going onstage, most likely by Syd.

@LuneyTune72 that hillarious. Really . Syd drugged Alice Cooper. What kind of drugs?

[LuneyTune72]

@TheCozybear65 It was pot brownies. Supposedly Alice fell off stage, because it made him drowsy, and the band just kept on playing.
