Alice please play one more tour with the original band

F***in' amazing! Three fifths of my favourite band performing one of their best rockers. Too bad Dennis Dunaway wasn't well enough to participate. It's kinda eerie that GB would pass away just days after this performance. It's almost as if his life was now complete after playing again with his old friends for the first time in many years. As for Neal Smith.....what a drummer (still)!!!

@52oldschool MAN! Do I envy you! Not just because you played with G.B., But more so that You got to know the Man! Glen was, and still is, my favourite guitar player of all time! (Take THAT!,Clapton, Blackmore, etc.)Thanks so much for replying to my comment! It makes me feel that, in a small way, I myself have a connection to Glen! May He rest in Peace! (or better yet, if there IS an "Afterlife", Rock on with Jimi Hendrix,John Lennon,Keith Moon, John Entwhistle, etc.)

@rebelmunro I had the great fortune of drumming behind Glen,who was also a great friend. The opening licks to Schools Out were created by Glen as he sat in a hotel room and the notes are engraved on his head stone which replicates the album cover.He could make his guitar feedback, go on endlessly and effortlessly,just blew me away every time we played it ! I will always remember and miss G.B. R.I.P. Buddy

How ironic was this reunion,G.B. was more than thrilled to be reunited with those guy's. I was the drummer at this time, with a new band in the making that was coming on strong called Buxton/Flynn which included the R&R Hall of Fame guitarist Glen Buxton,a very honest laid back man who liked his Budwieser and rollerdogs,when i asked him about this song,he said it came about as a gag,poking fun at Johnny Rivers song Mountain of love,i laughed and he said it was true.I truly miss G.B. & our band.

Best song from the last good Alice Cooper album. I saw them as a freshman in high school during the Billion Dollar Babies tour with ZZ Top as the opening act. I listen to Coopers radio show but his music went way down hill after Muscle of Love IMO.

Dennis had Crohn's disease. In the spring of 1998 he was admitted to hospital for an operation. The operation was successful and Dennis regained his health and weight and was well enough to attended the second Glen Buxton Memorial Weekend in October 1999.

@lemmyrocks Yeah, as i listened to this awesome performance,I actually missed Dennis's parts.He was the underbelly of the band.Man they sound great here.What were the exact's on Dennis,You say he was sick??? I was watching the G.B. memorial and Dennis looked good.

There has never been a better drummer than Neal Smith.

Neal Smith... incredibly melodic drummer, best drummer Alice ever had.

[rebelmunro]

Glen buxton was one of the most underrated guitarests EVER! R.I.P.

I saw the boys play in Toronto on Dec. 14, 1973 at Maple Leaf Gardens on the Billion Dollar Babies Holiday Tour. That was the top drawer. The boys still sound incredible.
