Movie Reviews of Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper - Live 1973 - Billion Dollar Babies Tour
Movie Review: Clicking to special features doesn't work half the time
Summary: 2 Stars
Aside from not realizing this was a movie with horrible interruptions to the concert to ruin the mood of the show, we also found that none of the links would connect - we couldn't get the speciall features to open and play; so we didn't know we could watch a concert version without that horrible bad movie acting sketches in between.
the concert was as good as I remmebered, having been there myself in 73; but the DVD is very difficult to move around in. We never have these problems with any other DVDs - and this was brand new. Even our rentals are in better condition than this was.

Summary of Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper - Live 1973 - Billion Dollar Babies Tour
And now, America's own Billion Dollar Babies ... the legendary ALICE COOPER!The original Rock 'n' Roll Spectacle. The groundbreaking tour. The five original members of the Alice Cooper group captured live. The 1973 Billion Dollar Babies show was the first of its kind. No other band had ever brought a more expensive, elaborate theatrical production to the rock stage -- and rarely has any since.
Now available for the FIRST TIME since it hit theaters in 1974, Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper -- the film made during the Billion Dollar Babies tour that combines stunning concert footage with an outrageous story and also features the band's acting debut - has been transferred in high definition and now includes a new 5.1 Surround Sound mix.
The crunching music, the snake, the guillotine, the makeup, the hatchets, mannequins and dolls, the money, the whips -- it all started here. Alice Cooper kicked the door down. All the other artists followed behind.

They billed it as "the film that outgrosses them all," but if some of the antics on display in Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper - Live 1973 seem fairly mild some thirty years after the fact, that's mainly because people like Marilyn Manson and some of the more lurid punk and metal acts copped many of their moves from Cooper in the first place. This movie, which combines footage from the band's Billion Dollar Babies concert tour with what might charitably be described as a storyline, had a brief theatrical run in the mid-'70s but has been mostly unseen until this DVD release, which features a high definition transfer and a new sound mix. The group (with its namesake singer joined by original members Michael Bruce and Glen Buxton on guitar, Dennis Dunaway on bass, and drummer Neal Smith) was in the midst of a nice run of hits at the time; "No More Mr. Nice Guy," "Eighteen," and "School's Out" are all ably performed here, but it's the stage show in all its Grand Guignol glory that's the prime attraction. Clockwork Orange-style violence, necrophilia, decapitation via guillotine, humping mannequins, sticking baby dolls with swords: that and more is on display here, all in the name of what Cooper, whose commentary track is the major bonus feature, describes as "performance art." Well, maybe. Most of it comes off as little more than a hodgepodge of disconnected images--some vile and vulgar, some merely silly--designed to thrill the kids and piss off the parents, which it most certainly did. and ain't that what rock & roll is all about? As for the "story" (something about a crazed film director out for vengeance after Alice ruins his masterpiece) that's intercut with the concert numbers, the best that can be said about it is that viewers have the option of choosing the "play concert only" option. --Sam Graham
