This is a bootleg recording of the original Alice Cooper group performing at the 1969 Toronto Peace Festival. This bootleg is known by many other titles other than FREAK OUT. Only two of the songs on the album ever showed up on a studio album ("Painting A Picture" as "No Longer Umpire" and "Science Fiction" as "Fields of Regret" on their first album - PRETTIES FOR YOU). And two other songs were not even performed by the group, but by blues artist Ronnie Hawkins ("Goin' To The River" and "Ain't That Just Like A Woman"). This is an early glimpse of the group at a time when they were arguably still learning to play their instruments, and people would walk out of their performances. That is, until Frank Zappa "discovered" them.

This is the music people would pay to see just to walk out of.

Alice's first release, and probably his rawest, shows the fans... well... just how great Cooper can be. Recorded... live... or something... Cooper shows no remorse to whomever may be listening.

"Ain't That Just Like a Woman" is a brilliant cover.

It's funny, it's different, and it's definately not your typical Cooper.

If he'd play this stuff live, once again, I'd pay big bucks.

Really though, if he played Special Forces, Dada, or Zipper Catches Skin, I'd really pay big bucks.

Come on, Vincent, we need the classics.
