Eddie Cochran is a long long way from Blue Cheer. He and Gene Vincent are two of the oldies that will always be missed. RIP. Great music of the be bop era.

When Gene Vincent played the Toronto Peace Festival (booked with Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Chuck Berry as well as The Plastic Ono Band, the Doors, and others), Alice Cooper's band reportedly did his backing band duties.

If it’s the same Alice Cooper band that backed Lou Reed on Rock n Roll Animal, they are renown for their chops. RnR Animal and Lou Reed Live are the best things he ever did in my opinion, because of that band. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner are beasts on the dual lead guitar.
