I grew up listening to this guy.

Bet he still puts on a good show.

I've posted this a few times but I think it's worth repeating.

I finally got to see Alice when he opened for Iron Maiden a few years ago at Jones Beach. To be fair, it was the second or third show of Maiden's Seventh Son retrospective tour so they were still working out the bugs, but they were not in top form (I've seen Maiden a few other times...they are awesome live when they are on top of their game).

But Alice...WOW. I can't say that he blew Maiden off the stage, but man o manischewitz it was close. Alice's show was a SPECTACULAR entertainment event. The band was white-hot and tight, Alice was in great form and the stage show was a sight to be seen. They were the better band that day.

In their prime (I first saw AC in 1972) they were the best live R&R performance out there.

And I’m referring to their kick-ass sound, not the stage antics.
