Watch original Alice Cooper band reunite in Nashville

Alice Cooper

Video footage has surfaced of Alice Cooper playing last weekend with original band members Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith and Michael Bruce.

Cooper was at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville on Sunday evening when he was joined by the trio for five classic tracks.

They played I’m Eighteen, Billion Dollar Babies, No More Mr Nice Guy and Muscle Of Love before both his current lineup and that of the 70s era closed the set with School’s Out.

It was the first time Cooper, Dunaway, Smith and Bruce had played live together since October 2015 when they performed at Dallas music store Good Records. That reunion spawned the 7-inch single titled Live From The Astroturf which came out in November 2016.

Cooper will release his new album titled Paranormal on June 28 via earMUSIC, which will come with a mini-album featuring three brand new songs written and recorded with the original trio, alongside live recordings.

Paranormal will also include guest appearances by U2’s Larry Mullen Jr, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and Deep Purple’s Roger Glover.
