ALICE WAS AWESOME.......TIME FOR PURPLE TO RETIRE

4/5
Richard from Toronto, Ontario
3rd September 2017

Almost 70 yr. old Alice Cooper put on an entertaining show and had the crowd on their feet. The entire band put their hearts & souls into the show. The addition of Nita Strauss was a plus for the already tight band. My fifth time to see Deep Purple turned out to be disappointing. They sure had a tough act to follow after Alice's show. It's time for Deep Purple to retire and sit back and enjoy life.

The show BELONGED to Alice

4/5

I have seen Alice Cooper 9 times, and he never disappoints. Alice was in top form and continues to cement his legacy as one of rock's great performers. Every song in his set, from newer numbers like "Paranoiac Personality" and "Brutal Planet", to classics from the 70's and 80's were full of energy and unparalleled showmanship. The same cannot be said for Deep Purple, who came nowhere close to matching the intensity or quality of performance of Alice. Ian Gillian sounded incredibly tired and strained. Alice should have closed the show. End of story.

Edgar and Alice rocked it Purple tired

Edgar fired the crowd up as only he could - still owns the instrumentals. Alice is a strong as ever and was one of the best shows I have ever seen, WOW. Deep Purple was very disappointing the sound and the vocals were awful - probably the worse performance by a band I have ever seen. They definitely need to hang it up.

Posting late but saw Alice Cooper in Boston last night

3/5
Jimmy from Boston, Massachusetts

All I can say is Edgar should have had a longer set, he was pretty good. Alice rocked the house on this night in Mansfield, MA. Deep Purple (one of my favs in the past) was sharply disappointing. Ian was tired and disappearing most of the night and the songs were ALL off somehow. Sorry boys, time to hang it all up! Saw Alice Cooper on his own last night (3/6/18) in Boston on his own and again he rocked the house. Made me think of this concert again!

Alice Cooper & Deep Purple - 9/2/2014

3/5
Lanio from Toronto, Ontario

Alice Cooper was good. This smart rocker surrounded himself with great young and energetic musicians who performed well. Excellent drummer and a great solo lady guitarist. Rock on! Purple looked tired and slow. Ian struggled with songs as his voice is getting weak. Don and Steve carry this band now. Full respect to these guys for rocking for so long and it is sad to see them slowing down over the past 30 years. 'Hush' was their best song of the night. I hope that this was not their last appearance in Toronto, as they did not come out for the encore song and many fans were disappointed by this. Rock on!

Alice Cooper rocks in his hometown

3/5

first off the Edgar Winter Band, they put on an entertaining show highlighted by Free Ride and some steller musicianship throughout. The Alice Cooper Band had the sold out crowd on their feet from beginning to end and all I kept thinking was how was Deep Purple going to follow this? Well, they didn't. They looked tired, this band is washed up and didn't deserve headliner status based on the past.
