ALICE COOPER A PARIS TV SHOW (1982)















In 1981 Alice Cooper shot a TV Special in Paris which was aired on french TV n January 1982 . This scarce program has never been released on VHS or even now on DVD. Some unofficial copies (VHS or DVD) are changing hands.

Basically the show is a promo event with tracks from "Flush The Fashion" and "Special Forces" albums plus some vintage tunes from his golden days. The show was recorded in Paris in December 1981 just before the launching of the "Special Forces" european tour. The first part of the broadcast was filmed in several typical and touristic places of Paris : le Sacré-Coeur church, la Rue Saint-Denis, Pigalle, and the Centre Beaubourg. Most of the songs seen here remain thus officially unreleased to this day.

Special note: I transferred the show from a master VHS tape and made a DVD PAL with TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring, then i converted the DVD to a XviD4 PAL video (Two pass compression, resolution 640x480). Running Time 46'57. Size: 520 mb. You need all parts to unrar the file.

Show
1 - 2 - 3
Intro / Generation Lanslide '81 / Under My Wheels / Clones / Pain / Seven And Seven Is / Prettiest Cop In The Block / You're A Movie / Model Citizen / Cold Ethyl / Only Women Bleed / Go To Hell / Alice Cooper's Self Interview In French / Vicious Rumours (Live) / Eighteen (Live) / Billion Dollar Babies / School's Out (Live) /Who Do You Think We Are (Live)

I was working around the channel Antenne 2 when this was shot. In those days, Alice was freebasing and you can see that in the show! What an horrible souvenir! I can imagine him not wanting that thing released ! just keep it secret, allright ?

CooperTrooper said...

Why is it the "anonymous" ones don't seem to work our what the password is?
Are they blind?

It is plain for all the world to see....the password that is!
I'm a bloke and I worked it out!...heck I've even told everybody!

Special Forces has always been one of my favorite Alice Cooper albums. I like the classic 70's stuff, but that's the one I come back to listen to over and over. this is a GREAT find and share.

Well, why is there even a password? What is the purpose?

Vinnie Rattolle said...

I've gotten a couple copies of this special but the quality was so bad that I was never able to watch it in its entirety... until today. Thank you so much for the share -- the quality on this is pretty phenomenal!

Hi, please can you tell me the password ? I am not very intelligent to guess and I am french so I don't understand english a lot. I would be very cool if someone tell me password...Many thanks , bye.

special clone said...

I thought password was the word "password" but it doesn't work ... SOS...thanks

CooperTrooper said...

"password" IS the password.... it worked for me?!?

special clone said...

Hi, thanks for reply angelo and cooper trooper...I am sorry but "password" does not work for me. Is it possible to post this wonderfull video without password to unrar files ? thank you,
"If you want it, then you g-g-g-g-g-g-g-got it..."

angelo said...

check the size of the 3 parts you've downloaded
204 + 204 + 127

the password should work with you as well

special clone said...

Hi it's stoopid again ! I am very sad to tell you that it really doesn't work and it begin to drive me a little f***** crazy... Well, downloaded files are not the size you wrote, I got: part1 194Mb, part2 194Mb & part3 121Mb...More, password works with part1 but file can't be read with any player, part 2 & 3 can't be unrar...Please, do you think it would be possible to upload the video on an other website (megaupload) without password or could you propose any other soluce ?...thank you very much and sorry for disturbing

angelo said...

you must download all 3 parts and then unpack with the password
the video can be read with VLC, BS Player or Winamp - these are the 3 players working with me.

Special Clone said...

hi friend...it took a time but I finally success the download !...I already have this video but with swedish subtitles and to get the video without subtitles in such a good quality is really fantastic !!! thank you very much for your post. I would like to thank you by giving you a download link for a techno-alice cooper remix I made, including "special forces" LP samples. I hope you'll enjoy. One more time thank you very much for upload, I am a big special forces fan !

You are not right. I suggest it to discuss. Write to me in PM, we will communicate.

Choice at you hard

It agree, rather useful piece

By the way, it's not the complete show!!!

After the french interview, two songs don't appear on your copy... The first song is "Who do you think we are?", who is the complete song, and not only the reprise at the end of the show.

The other song is "You're a movie"...

They are listed at the end of the show credit and you can find them on youtube in poor quality...
