10 Halo Of Flies ALICE COOPER LIVE 5-20-2016 PITTSBURGH STAGE AE

[@RapIsDeadly]

This has always been my favorite Alice Cooper song. He was huge when I was young....in my world anyway.

[@dannydyi]

My fave too! My first live concert was Alice Cooper when I was 8 years old. It kinda set the bar a little too high for all future live concerts lol. I'm like how come none of these other groups decapitate themselves, escape straight jackets, fight Michael Myers etc. Only Alice... Ps kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWq5aJZ7n8ukmMU

[@bigvrocks2480]

OMG what a kick-ass version of this song! The musicians are killing it! Alice delivers all the time...!

[@PAKiller1]

I have seen Alice 46 times, and this my my favorite Alice song of all time

[@bepriceless]

Wow, 46 times? My fav too.

[@bepriceless]

@@PAKiller1 Happy Birthday. Have fun at Alice for me; I looked at the schedule, he's not going anywhere near me. Looks like Nita Strauss is back with him. I've only seen him twice; once in the early 80's and then again about 15 years ago. Love, love Killer and Love it to Death, Like Schools Out and Welcome... but lost touch with him when he became more metal. I've been listening to the albums I never listened to before, like Hey Stoopid and From the inside. So, so in my opinion. Have a good time.

[@petepodpolucha8978]

Glenn Sobel is an awesome drummer, very underrated

[@frankiefelinesalwayswelcom5825]

I love it so much when Glenn gets right into it and twirls his drum sticks around. He is an awesome drummer IMO

[@4freki]

The original band made it all happen. Nice seeing Vincent melting it for all it’s worth. RIP GB.

[@KeithOtisEdwards]

I remember reading in _Billion Dollar Baby: On Tour with the Alice Cooper Band_ how shabbily they treated Glen. When the band formed in Tempe, Arizona, Glen was the only musician. Glen took Dennis to buy his first bass and showed him how to play it. The last decent song Alice Cooper had was _Woman Machine,_ but since that was written by the band, not Vince, they had to beg to get it on an album

[@cronejawford978]

Very cool that Alice left the stage to let his band shine for themselves a brief bit. Excellent version of this classic.

[@aceman3577]

THIS SONG HALO OF FLIES AND THE REST OF THIS ALBUM IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE

[@frankiefelinesalwayswelcom5825]

“Killer” their best album EVER. Alice’s vocals were the best. “Halo of Flies” is the best song instrumentally they ever did. My favourite song of his PERIOD. 1971/72 bootleg concerts here in YT have the best recordings of it.

[@danielsabo5335]

Toss up on halo, desperado,killer

Thank you very much!! Best Regards!

[@brettsix2027]

I was at this show with my brothers for my bachelor party. What a night!!

[@bepriceless]

Really good audio on this one. Thanks.

[@progger53]

I remember doing guard duty in AUG. 1972 Ft. LeonardWood Missouri. The lights were dim I had the tuned into the local AOR station from Waynesville. And this came on. It spooked me. I already had the LP. But it was the quietness around me that did it. Another time it happened when "Black Ju Ju" came on another night of guard duty.

[@rhole1]

I have to come back to Halo about once a month. This is one of the most musical rock and roll songs ever written. There is so much going on here and it is performed masterfully by Ryan, Nita, Tommy and Chuck. Oh wait - Glen effin Sobel almost - just almost - steals the show on the skins. Best Coop song ever.

[@clubdoc]

Dont forget Ballad of Dwight Fry....Glen Freys uncle...lol

[@kenhill5646]

Totally agree

[@josephjohnson4408]

Best Alice Cooper by Far,brilliantly done Live

[@williamleather500]

[@carlitofalcone5870]

Agreed . ♦️

[@JamminClemmons]

Amazing performance. I was away from Alice for over 20 years (active duty, US military). This was something....... *I mean that!*

[@clubdoc]

Thank you for your service to America! I am so glad you like this video! Alice is the consument performer. I have 100's of great AC vids on youtube! Enjoy!!!

[@ghosttgirlghosttspook5478]

one of the best songs he's done!!!

[@billholder1330]

It wasn't just him, this song was composed by the entire original Alice Cooper band (Alice Cooper, Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith).

[@steveleonard8835]

isn't it amazing that Alice looks the same in 1970 as he does now!

[@stevetrimble7007]

Thank you Mabelline!

[@OFR]

Yeah. they hit a peak with this one. And ANY shows you find from this period, this song is the BEST they ever played then. Tons of rehearsal, but worth it.

[@chickmcgee1000]

He and his band produced some really great music, and a lot of it.

[@richardsylvanus2717]

Sophomore year in high school for me & this album. If I closed my eyes I'd swear it was the band from '71

[@QrystalQlear]

Alice Cooper surrounds himself with amazing musicians in spite of the fact that he's no longer with the original Alice Cooper band, which was a magical combination! Only 3,645 views for this, and people's stupid cat videos go viral?

[@clubdoc]

QrystalQlear yup

[@zanthine1]

I love A.C. can't you love cat's too tho?

[@G8GT364CI]

Good playing band, boring to watch though, they aren't together like the original band who were the balls.

[@clubdoc]

@@G8GT364CI Bob I saw the original band on the BDB tour. And, yes it was great for a 16 yr old to see his idol and his band of drunken mates.... BUT....they are not here are they? Vince is here and Chuck and Glen and Roxy and whatever hot fem axelady he has at the time....relax drink it in as it wont be here for long. And BTW, his staging and script is far ahead of what it was with the ACB circa 1970s as so many great new songs add to the mix....like frankenstein and poison...etc

[@G8GT364CI]

@@clubdoc No, they are a very good band but still nothing compared to the original band, lucky you to have seen Alice Cooper

Great song sounds like Prog rock

[@KeithOtisEdwards]

You have pita hand it to Alice - he spent the money to hire great musicians, when if he’d instead spent it on stage effects, the kids would have been just as excited. Good for him.

[@frankiefelinesalwayswelcom5825]

It’s called “hired gun”. Alice picks from a group of many musicians for his band, but the musician picked has to remain a top notch performer, or he/she is dropped and a new musician from the group is picked.

[@sfeigh]

That's a drummer who was in drum corp.

[@zolarczakl3880]

Tommy Wiseau on bass? Oh Hi, Alice!

[@TacomaPaul]

One of his Top 5 songs ever. SO well orchestrated. And for 1971 !? Genius. But let me add this.... bass player fail here, and keep the drums to the original please. No need for extended solo from anyone other than Neil Smith.

[@clubdoc]

well put...but this is even shorter than recent years where bass player exchanges with crowd. HEY....HEY goes on for 2 minutes allowing AC a break and set up for next theatrical staging.

[@dirkbag22]

No need for a drum solo at all. If I never see another drum solo it will be too soon... but yes, Dennis' bass line there right before the great drum syncopation on the original is one of my favorite bits ever. He should have played that. And you're right, in 1971 this was such an amazing writing and arrangement accomplishment. Even today, every time Halo comes around in my Alice playlist, it makes me stop and listen. Every part of it, every phrase, every theme; it's just magnificent and majestic.

[@jonmcgee4150]

Check out Eric Singer's Halo of Flies drum solo at B'estival July 2007.

[@paulyabe]

last time I saw AC live, w/Steve Hunter, just before he was replaced by Orianthi, when Halo started I got goosebumps and nearly started to cry. Very powerful because I was 16-17 when it was brand new.

[@DragoBalboa]

Hey there, "clubdoc"......Wow!! Your dialogue here is quite impressive...and a bit overwhelming in a nebulous and garrulous kind of way. You seem to have a propensity in using all seven types of thematic meaning in your semantics in explaining your conceptual, connotative, stylistic, affective, reflected, and collocative thoughts while conveying the logical, cognitive, and denotative content of your rather lengthy, inscrutable and syntaxical contribution here, which, consequentially, seems to be the essence of your rather dramatic contribution to this rather anti-lucid post of yours. But, who am I to judge someone whose syntax is correct, but....semantically incorrect....even though your laudatives contain articles in the appropriate places, the adjectives precede the nouns, and the verb is correctly conjugated. I'm not being pejorative....I'm simply assuming that you must have taken up an English / grammar course in college....or somethin'. Anyway....thanks for your intrinsic thoughts. I think all of your readers are impressed with you. But.....that's just my humble opinion. ~D.B.
