The Grand Opening of:
Cooper'stown
Phoenix, Arizona 12/19/1998

On December 18, Alice Cooper had a grand opening party for his new sports bar Cooper'stown. Although Michael Bruce and Neal Smith were potential guests that first night, due to scheduling, neither made it to the Grand Opening party. However, the next night, Saturday, December 19, 1998 saw another in a string a partial reunions of the Original Alice Cooper Group, this time with Alice, Michael and Neal all together on the same stage for the first time since setting indoor attendance records in Brazil in 1974. It was not planned, but it could not have been cooler. Below are some great pics from that incredible night. There are also more pictures HERE.

Michael Bruce, in town for business, and to see his kids, came by at about 7:00pm, Battle Axe in hand.	Alice and Michael then took the stage and played Cooper classics "Be My Lover", "I'm Eighteen" and "School's Out"

It was a fantastic night for any fan of the original Alice Cooper. The public at Cooper'stown that night were certainly in the right place at the right time to catch a little bit of history. The event was a blast for everyone. Sorry there are no pics here on AC, NS and MB together on-stage, but we were videoing, and so could not take snapshots. We hope to download some of the best images from the video, though (they are great!!!!!) and put on some more pics soon.
