First off, R.E. is my dad. I'm Trenton. Now.... I bought this cd a while ago at a used cd store and I like it. It's Alice's very first live recordings from 1969 and I think it brings out some of his original sound. However, it's not an official release. Alice recieves no profit off of it. It's been released under so many labels and names most Cooper websites do not even have the full list. Two songs ARE NOT EVEN ALICE!!!! "Ain't It Just Like A Woman" and "Goin' To The River" is someone else. The best songs are "Freak Out Song" and "Nobody Likes Me" (which are Alice). I'm a collector of Alice Cooper and I'm very glad I got this album. I just wish it would be released officially.

Call it Freak Out, call it the 60's Live sessions, call it Nobody Likes Me, call it blood on my chopper, call it the freak out song, call it Nobody Likes Alice, call it simply Alice Cooper, and now just add LIVE onto the end of it and here is this same live performance from 1968 that often gets classified as some kind of RARE performance that will be lucky if it gets a second listen from anyone who hears it the first time.

1. Ain't That Just Like A Woman

2. Painting A Picture

3. For Alice

4. I've Written Home to Mother

5. Freak Out Song

6. Goin' To The River

7. Nobody Likes Me

8. Science Fiction

9. "Medley-Ain't That Just Like A Woman,Goin' To The River"

If you wanna hear one of those boring albums that sound like someone tripping on acid trying to find new psychedelic sounds to wow the minds of the hippies back in the 60's, then you will love this album, other wise, skip this and go to when Alice Cooper discovered who they where and got it right.

If you want Real Alice Cooper, get Killer, School's Out or anything else but this one. I'm not sure if Alice even knew someone was recording this. I believe it was a jam of atists and not just the Alice Cooper Band. Don't waste your money on this one, try the new "Along Came a Spider" instead, it's real Alice Cooper.

I am a Huge Alice Cooper fan. I MEAN SO HUGE , that even though every review said not to and its not even official, I had to do it. I've bought a lot of music from Amazon, and this is by far the worst purchase I've ever made. I only bought the last song of Medley. To be quite frankily, I enjoyed the portion by Ronnie Hawkins (vocals on Ain't That and Going to the River) more than the Alice portion. I don't know how Vincent Furnier and the boys thought that random yells and hooppla was music but it was not only badly done it was annoying. My heart is heavy, because I love Alice, and this isn't really his fault. It was before the band (band before solo career) had become soley a hard rock band. Love It To Death and Killer blow this out of the water. I mean Nuclear explosion. DO NOT BUY, Alice doesn't even get a cut off it.

This awful bootleg has been issued and reissued for over 30 years. I have it on LP. It's an amateur recording made at the September 13, 1969 Toronto Rock 'n' Roll Revival held at the football stadium of the University of Toronto.

Why does it sound so bad? For one thing, the concert promoter (Detroit's "Uncle" Russ Gibb) was a cheapskate, and provided only the minimum P.A. system, and this did not include stage monitors (which is why you often see photos of singers in that day singing with one finger in an ear so they could hear themselves).

My guess is that, "Ain't That Just Like A Woman?" and "Goin' to the River," the two songs obviously not sung by Alice Cooper are by '50s rebel Gene Vincent, who the Alice Cooper Band, formerly known as The Spiders, often backed up. He played earlier that day.
