With Alice being 'out of action' while he cleaned himself up, Warner Bros (his record label) decided the time was right to release the First Official Live Alice Cooper Record

Released in December 1977, 'The Alice Cooper Show' was recorded at two special shows, held at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas on August 19 and 20, 1977

It's not a bad record, but when the live music is divorced from the visuals of the theatrics, something is missing

The band consisted of

Dick Wagner - Guitars, Vocals
Steve Hunter - Guitars
Prakash John - Bass
Fred Mandel - Keyboards
Penti (Whitey) Glan - Drums

and the recording was produced by Brian Christian and Bob Ezrin

The track listing is
  • Under My Wheels
  • I'm Eighteen
  • Only Women Bleed
  • Sick Things
  • Is It My Body
  • I Never Cry
  • Billion Dollar Babies
  • Devil's Food/The Black Widow
  • You And Me
  • I Love The Dead
  • Go To Hell
  • Wish You Were Here
  • School's Out

Alice himself has described this as the one album he wishes he had never made. Talking in March 1997, he said that he was contractually obligated to do a "live" album, but they (the record company) asked him to do it after he had just completed a very long two-year tour. He was very sick -- emotionally and physically --at the time (from all the booze) and did not want to do another two shows to make this album (the only time he remembers not wanting to go on stage).
