This show was seeded two times but in lossy format.It's an upgrade of this torrent :

This version it's losless . It has been seeded by Taurus I think in 2005.


Popular recording well circulated within the Alice Cooper Trading circles.
This gig originally appeared several years ago on a bootleg (decent at best) called "Electric
Ballroom Detroit 1972"! We don't know how that occurred, for there never
was an Electric Ballroom in Detroit.Now ya know.

Notes:

This show is from near the end (possibly the last date) of the Killer tour. By this time
a complete School's Out w/lyrics is appearing in the set list and Under My Wheels and
Long Way to Go have gotten the boot. As well, Is It My Body has been shuffled to the end of
the show as opposed to being played after 18, as it was earlier in the tour.


About the recording:

It's from the board and is pretty good too. I would ballpark it as a strong 7/10, but it's not
without it's flaws.
First, there was a fair amount of hiss. I didn't want to tamper too much with the original, but
by using standard hiss removal with Audition, I think it improved the listening
experience quite a bit without sacrificing any high-end, and aside from some minor editing to get
rid of gaps between tracks, this was all that was done to my original copy.

The show is almost complete but there is a cut about 6 seconds into Dead Babies with the first
line being "Little Betty is Sleeping in the Graveyard.." cutting out a
couple of minutes of the tune. The drum roll and hanging sequence in Killer is cut and Is It
My Body get cut short too.

Some collector web pages have this recording being released as a commercial boot, although I
have never personally seen one. There is a vinyl pressing, apparently limited to
3 copies (I find that difficult to believe)

Because the one jpeg I was able to get of the original cover is poor quality, I put together
some simple art work - for those who like that sort of thing.

Artworks are included.

Enjoy the show.
