As the band begins to deteriorate, more and more photos of “just Alice” will be seen. He’ll be poising with ”safe” Hollywood celebrities such as George Burns – above. In the coming months you will see him in photos next to Groucho Marx, Fred Astaire, Liza Minelli, Jack Benny and other family acceptable stars. The image change was in full swing!

Finally, he looked down on the ground and saw a dart!”

“We were on stage at Pirate’s World in Miami (sic), Florida. After 4 days off, somehow my bass neck didn’t feel as familiar and so the show somehow felt fresher. Some jerk tossed a one foot baby Boa Constrictor onto Michael’s side of the stage. I ran over and guarded it till the song was over then I caught it and handed it to Andy Mills. After the show, the jerk wanted it back but Cindy and I decided he didn’t deserve a pet and so we named it Angel and kept it.”

Circus Magazine  Oct, 1973: Neal Smith Interview:
When the band’s Lear Jet swooped down into the Houston airport for a concert appearance that night, Alice, Michael, Neal, Glen and Dennis were hustled into a waiting Brinks armored truck for the ride to the hotel. Suddenly, the quintet was astonished to hear the thundering of horses hooves and the whooping of what sounded like a band of cowboys. Almost immediately, the door of the truck was yanked open, and a tall lean Texan with a ten gallon hat and smoking six-gun poked his bronze face into the dark truck. “You guys the Billion Dollar Babies?’ he drawled. “No, not us, somebody else,” mumbled the frightened captives. The cowboys pulled the five quaking long-hairs from the truck, forced them to put their hands up against the side of the truck, and proceeded to strip them of their jewelry, money, and expensive clothing. One cowboy held a gun to the truck driver’s head. Another shot the second driver and he fell with a thud to the ground. Suddenly, a blast of familiar music materialized from thin air and a white horse came galloping towards the small band of superstars. The Lone Ranger, garbed grandly in white, sat perched astride the beautiful stallion. “He must have had twenty shots in one gun,” recalls Neal, “because he shot all the cowboys. Everyone was sprawled on the ground immediately the band realized the entire event had been a specially staged act for their enjoyment— and that everything was being filmed by the Hollywood film crew – flown out to capture them on celluloid. Eight cameras were pointed at them from various hiding spots.

73oct Alice In JapanAlice (only) arrived in Japan on October 19 to announce the simultaneous worldwide release of his forthcoming LP “Muscle Of Love”. He was greeted by an airport reception of close to 5,000 fans who tore at his hair and clothes, before one particularly loyal fan presented Alice with a nine-foot boa constrictor named “Moische, Moische” which means “Hello, Hello”.
Two hundred journalists gathered at the Akasaka Prince Hotel the next day for the largest press conference ever held for an entertaining personality in Tokyo. During the conference Alice received as a present several Geisha girls who attended him for the entirety of his five-day stay in Japan. The Geishas performed such tasks as peeling grapes and feeding them on toothpicks to the Muscleman of Love and entertaining him with little stories and dances which are supposed to make the listener mellow and ready for an evening’s pleasure.

Alice Cooper is no longer a band in most people’s mind, the emphasis has shifted totally to the front man.

Dec 13 – Toledo Sports Arena, Toledo, Ohio — Firecracker incident

The Toledo Sports Arena was a 5,230-seat multi-purpose arena, at 1 Main Street, Toledo, Ohio. It was built in 1947 and razed in 2007.

Toledo “RIOT”

Rolling Stone – 31st January 1974

        Alice Bombed in Toledo
Toledo – Pelted by fireworks and debris, Alice Cooper recently walked off their “Holiday Show” at the Toledo Sports Arena. According to Ashley Pandel, Cooper’s publicist, “Alice felt if they continued, there could be another Altamont.”
Guitarist Michael Bruce was reportedly cut on the face after fireworks thrown from the audience shattered an overhead light bar. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where a particle of metal was removed from an eye. He suffered no serious injuries.

Alice and the rest of the band left the arena shortly after their walk off. During a half-hour wait – while the audience lingered, waiting for resumption of the show – seven carloads of police were summoned to join 20 off-duty cops at the auditorium to control the near sell-out crowd of 8,000.

“Security at the concert was nonexistent,” charged James Randi, who plays the executioner in the band’s “I Love Dead Things” (sic) act. “There was only a two-foot barrier to separate the crowd from the stage.”

Trouble began to develop even before Cooper appeared. Fireworks, including Roman candles, were set off during Z.Z. Top’s opening set. Then, according to Mark Scheerer, newsman at WIOT-FM Toledo, “Alice got the first bars of ‘Hello Hooray’ out and got hit in the chest with either an egg or vegetables. He did a mock stagger and went on. Then people started throwing a variety of missiles at a fairly steady pace. Alice did the second number, ‘Billion Dollar Babies,’ and the lights went down. Alice told the people, ‘We came to play, and we don’t appreciate being targets.'”

A cherry bomb, as Scheerer described it – arena manger Gerald Francis said it was an M-80, equal in power to one-eighth of a stick of dynamite – went off, shattered the light, and Bruce was hit and led offstage. Alice then decided to cancel, Pandel said, “before someone got killed.”

The band – and most witnesses – were unable to explain the violence. Pandel said the crowd seemed more “bewildered” than angry at anything. A crush of people directly in front of the stage, he said, began pushing forward, shoving matches began “and then things were being thrown.” Scheerer said Toledo rock fans had no history of violence. “It was just a handful of malcontents. I think they just felt it was obligatory. You know, to match his violence.”

Pandel disagreed. “Alice is only trying to relieve tension in kids. When they leave an Alice Cooper show, they sure won’t get into violence. They’ve seen it already.”

Ironically enough, the night before in Ann Arbor, Dennis Dunaway said before the concert, “We get off more on a Detroit-type crowd – crowds that physically get into a concert.”

After an hour’s wait, the crowd was finally dispersed, according to police. No arrests or refunds were made.
