Alice Cooper is a big production now, and really a solid choice for an opening arena act. He doesn't take himself too seriously and puts on a great entertaining show.

The highlight for me was "Poison". The 80's were so great because you had these 70's guys in the mix still finding ways to stay relevant. The 90's killed everything that came before.
