Raise The Dead: Live From Wacken [Blu-ray]

A Good Show and Alice voice is still there. He sounds very; good on this show and the band is very tight. I have had a few past shows of his which were good and sometimes the voice was a bit strained but this show he is on the money. If you like Alice you will love this show. On This Show Alice plays tribute to his old drinking club The Vampires he was in with the likes of Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Keith Moons to name a few, he does a few tribute songs of theirs which he normally does not do in concerts but they are pretty impressive. Two that do not show up on the DVD which I was sad not to see were Revolution and Foxy Lady. But with the CDs that come with the package you get them on it.

I love Alice Cooper so buying this Blu-ray wasn't a choice! There are two problems with this show - one is that the Cooper concert began during daylight hours so the sets, effects and atmosphere during the first half had less impact than normal. As soon as darkness falls the show is visually much better. The band and Cooper are great day or night though. The second problem is the camera work and editing. Usually the camera longers on "The Star" of a show so the viewer gets to enjoy his performance. For some reason the camera kept cutting away from Cooper to the band and crowd shots. Very poor judgment. This does reduce the enjoyment of this concert presentation. We buy a concert to see Alice Cooper onscreen most of the time, not the crowd or other band members.Alice Cooper's interview, as a Blu-ray extra, is wonderful.

I've been a fan for over 40 years and never tire of hearing the classic songs from the '70s. Coop and his band put so much effort into every performance and the crowd is always psyched. Seeing one of his concerts in blu ray quality is something new (for me) as are some of the songs (though remakes of classic rock songs). Only disappointments are no DTS sound and it does not include the entire show, though all songs are available on the two CDs that come with the blu ray.

Alice gets a 10+, but who ever edited this video should be sent back to school. They obviously didn't really care to take the time and make it as good as it could have been. I think I read another review about how they don't focus on the main event of the moment...like a guitarist during a solo. In fact, it seems like on some of the songs, they just set it on auto switch and let some program just choose random shots. Could have been a lot better from that aspect. That being said.... this is still a Blu-ray worth buying. Alice and his band are Fabulous as always. Seems they just keep getting better. If you've never been to an Alice concert and you have the chance, do not pass it up. He is by far one of the best touring acts out there, and I've never seen him give anything but all out, full on, no holds barred, Rock and Roll at it's best, performance.

Anyone who saw the Raise The Dead Tour, or just an Alice Cooper fan, will be happy to add this to their archives. We saw the Tour at an extremely small venue - 4th row seats...Just weeks before this taping. This takes us right back.....My husband and I agree that Alice Cooper is the best concert we've seen to date. At 50+ years of age.....that's something to say. Alice Cooper still puts on a fantastic show!!!!

Bought it for a guy friend he loves it. Thank you

best alice cooper concert ive seen in a long long long time i even havean alice talkin big figure i brought from spencer gifts in white marsh mall in whitemarsh maryland alice has been great ener since the 1970s and hes still goin strong 40 plus years later

Absolutely fantastic! Alice is still one of the best performers in rock and his band is top notch. They nail all the Cooper classics and the finale of covers from all his dead drunk friends is awesome. This is a must for all Alice Cooper fans.

Le Master enfin au Wacken !! Excellent show. Pour le prix c'est jouissif.

Grande live, Grande Alice e ottima band. Le canzoni sono di grande impatto, gli assoli belli, le riprese buone, la qualità video ottima e quella audio più che dignitosa. Un artista sottovalutato. Live divertentissimo.

very good show from Alice Cooper!

Great performance from the great American shock-rocker!

Das 2013er Wacken-Konzert wird im „Rocks“ äußerst treffend beschrieben mit „ man sollte nicht den Fehler machen und „RtD“ als überflüssige und weitere Pflichtveröffentlichung abtun“.Das stimmt absolut! Der MEISTER und Band präsentieren sich einmal mehr in absoluter Topform, gewillt, das WOA im Sturm zu nehmen, die Setlist weicht deutlich von den letzten Veröffentlichungen ab und bereichert die Sammlung (U.a. „I'll bite your face off“ –als bester Stones-Song der letzten Jahre, „Caffeine“, „he's back (the man behind the mask)“ und „house of fire“ –beide überraschend stark, „Dirty diamonds“ mit ausgeprägtem Instrumentalteil).Der Gig beginnt mit „Hello hooray“ eher verhalten, auch showtechnisch; mit zunehmender Dauer nimmt er aber in jeder Hinsicht immer mehr Fahrt auf. Ab „Feed my Frankenstein“ erreicht der Showteil selbst für AC's Verhältnisse großartige Dimensionen.Die absolute Krönung ist aber Alice's Verbeugung vor seinen „dead drunk friends“ (den „Hollywood vampires“ Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix und Keith Moon), die er optisch auf einem überdimensionalen Friedhof mit eigenen Grabsteinen in Szene setzt. Dazu kommen „Break on through“, Revolution“, „Foxy lady“ und „My generation“ in voller Länge zur Aufführung.Das ist nicht aufgesetzt sondern grundehrlich und glaubwürdig gebracht – REST IN PEACE, GUYS!!!Als Anschluss wird stimmigerweise „I'm 18“ gewählt, im Publikum gibt's sowieso schon lange kein Halten mehr.Als (erwartbare) Zugabe wird „Schools out“ nicht einfach nur so in die Menge geschleudert, sondern mit einer absolut passenden „Another brick in the wall“-Einflechtung versehen.Grandioser kann man kein Finale inszenieren!Truely a night to remember- so geht das!!!DoCD+DVD in bester Sound- und Bildqualität, dickes Booklet.
