WATCH: Alice Cooper sings ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’ LIVE – 1979

This song is the title track off the album by the same name, ‘Welcome to My Nightmare,’ Alice Cooper’s eighth studio album  and was released in March 1975.  The song reached only number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year, but the song is noted for mixing elements from disco, jazz, hard rock, and yet still keeps a “heavy-yet-funky beat”.   This was Alice Cooper’s first solo album and surprisingly his only album for the Atlantic Records label. The ensuing ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’ tour was one of the most over-the-top excursions of that era and it’s a little known fact that most of Lou Reed’s band joined Cooper to play on this record.

Here’s Alice Cooper himself, performing the song LIVE in 1979 in San Diego during the Madhouse Rock tour.
