One of the best concert films I've seen!
Added 4/20/2009
Alice Cooper: Brutally Live has been in my Amazon "Wish List" for a while now. This concert was filmed during a time when the Coop was somewhat reinventing himself - mostly musically - introducing a more industrial style.
Although some fans may have been wondering about the direction, this show proves that Alice's head was in the right place. The show itself is spot-on shock rock horror. Dead babies abound.
Quality-wise, this is one of the best concert films I've seen. The film is crisp, the sound is clear, and multi-angles make for a complete package.
As has been usual for Alice, the show features the best of "the latest album" with a litany of greatest hits. "Dead Babies" leads to "Ballad of Dwight Fry" which leads to - what else - the gulliotine - and then Alice-less renditions of "I Love the Dead" and "Black Widow."
As if a highly entertaining and well-shot show with great music wasn't enough, this set includes a CD of the concert. I wish the "Dwight Fry" section of the show was included (could have done without some of the songs we've heard millions of times on other live albums) but this is how concert DVDs should be done - with a CD of the show to take around with you!
It's a great package, very complete, and well-done. Perfect thing for fans and casual Cooperheads alike.

This is a great DVD for any fan of Alice Cooper. There is a good selection of songs from earlier on through the time of the release of Brutal Planet. The video and sound quality are both good and I like the alternate angles. I was also happy to get the video to 'Gimme', which was rarely seen on TV.
My biggest disappointment is that all of the songs are not on the CD. Although everyone wants to hear the biggest hits, they have already been recorded so many times. I would have left one of them off and at least included 'Pick Up The Bones', a GREAT version of a GREAT song that deserved a spot on the CD. I am glad it included 'It's Hot Tonight' and 'Caught In A Dream'. Overall, it is a good CD with a lot of good songs.
I would recommend this to any fan, old or new. Alice is great and, as usual, he has an awesome band. This is a great show and a lot of fun.

AC Pulls it off in style only Alice can
Added 11/15/2008
Great DVD of a highly charged concert from 2000. The energy AC and his band show in this concert is tremendous. DVD is filmed as if you are attending the concert rather than the terrrible follow-up DVD of AC live at Montreux where the 4 second shots make your head spin. Sound is great, camera angles are great, band is great. It is a winner! One DVD I would definitely purchase for my collection.

must have for Cooper fans
Added 8/14/2008
Firstoff, this video was shot the way I personally think all concert videos should be. From the point of view of someone in the best seat in the house. I was at the dress rehearsal for this tour and I had a great seat and this show is exactly what I saw. If, like me you're a huge Alice Cooper fan but you didn't get to see him on this tour- buy this. You will not be sorry that you did.This is Cooper at his best. He does his greatest hits plus some of his newer material at the time, he does his magic tricks, they execute him, he comes back, it's all here. He had a top notch band that year and this was the first year his daughter, Calico was a part of the show- she dances and plays a coupla supporting characters (she's now choreographer for the show). A good time for all. The one bummer thing about this 2 disc set, 5 songs from the show are not on the cd. I think this is because 80 minutes is all you can put on a compact disc and the show runs at lest 90 minutes, so it couldn't be helped.
