  1. Glenn, Sorry to hear about the financial necessity to have to part with your Rush items. I know how much you love Rush and how much you've loved collecting over the years. All the best to you and keep us posted as to what you are parting with. You know the items will find their way to good and appreciative homes here. ~RGLT
  2. New Alice cooper documentary on the way! "Super Duper Alice Cooper", the upcoming documentary about the shock rocker's evolution from preacher's son to superstardom, is currently being screened for programmers at the Toronto International Film Festival. The 97-minute retrospective on Alice Cooper is the latest release from Canadian documentarians Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen of production company Banger Films ("Metal: A Headbangers Journey", "Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage") and writer/director Reginald Harkema. Official "Super Duper Alice Cooper" description: "Preacher's son Vincent Furnier struck fear into the hearts of parents as Alice Cooper, the ultimate rock star of the bizarre. From his advent as frontman for a group from Phoenix in the Sixties, to the notorious celebrity and decadence in the Seventies, to the comeback as glam metal godfather in the Eighties, we watch as Alice and Vincent battle for each other’s souls. This is a young Frankenstein who created a monster, lost control of it, and conquered it before it killed him. Alice Cooper is portrayed as a reflection of his fans' unease about the era and an escape from their generational malaise. His struggle revolved around living up to these expectations and being true to himself." In a 2012 interview with Spinner.com, Dunn stated about the Cooper documentary, "We know Alice through various projects that we've done," he said. "We interviewed Alice for 'Headbanger's Journey'. He's also featured pretty prominently in two episodes of [the new groundbreaking documentary series] 'Metal Evolution', both in [the] Shock Rock and Early Metal U.S. [episodes]. He's a pretty fascinating character, who has been through a lot in his life. He's one of those musicians that maybe he hasn't had a hit in a long time, but everyone knows who Alice Cooper is because of his influence on pop culture and the big songs he had in the '70s. . . We're in the early stages of telling the story of his career. We're probably going to focus in on his early years up to his comeback in the '80s. We're exploring a different stylist approach with this film. It won't be talking heads; it's going to be more of an archival and animated journey through his career. He's such a rich visual artist, it makes so much sense to try and do it in a different way. I think we're just a little bit sick of doing talking head interviews, to be honest [laughs], after doing 300 of them for 'Metal Evolution'. So it's really the story of Alice's career from the '60s right up to the '80s and everything he went through — the ups and the downs, battles with alcoholism, being raised in a Christian family, rebelling against that but then coming back to faith later in his career, and movinALICE COOPER: 'Super Duper' Documentary Screened For Toronto Film Festival Programmers - June 5, 2013 "Super Duper Alice Cooper", the upcoming documentary about the shock rocker's evolution from preacher's son to superstardom, is currently being screened for programmers at the Toronto International Film Festival.

  14. Check out the first post of this thread...pretty comprehensive. Let me know how the Cow Palace stuff is. I remember watching the TV special on a Friday night as a kid. My parents let me stay up for it. I was just beginning my love affair with The Beatles' music at the time (I was probably 9 or 10 I think). It was the first time I heard Maybe I'm Amazed, which remains one of my favorite songs of all time. The 8 song Cow Palace tracks are included as a Best Buy exclusive 3 CD version on sale right now for $14.99.
  15. Love Hope Strength to Tony... ...I agree with his Duckness that we can all show a sign of love and support by purchasing the new album. Tony is a man of great talent, strength and grace.

  18. It is like Christmas here... ...my wife just purchased for me McCartney, McCartney II, Ram, Band on the Runa nd Wings Over America all in Deluxe format. She said she didn't think I had any of them, so she wanted to complete my Paul McCartney collection so I could prime for the Paul McCartney gig in Brooklyn in two weeks. Man, do I love that woman!
