$25 to see this living legend proved to be well w0rth it. The 2009 Theater of Death tour was macabre without being campy, and his well written tunes added substance to his morbid style.
During his hour and a half set, Alice was decapitated by a huge guillotine, stuck with a huge syringe filled with poison, put into an iron maiden-type death device, and hanged (while in a nurses uniform that he had just offed). What a performance!
I was excited with anticipation for "Dead Babies" when i saw a dummy baby on the stage, but soon realized the prop was for the much more popular title track "Billion Dollar Babies". Oh, well.
He reprised his set opener "Schools Out" for his one song encore. It was a blast to see Alice in his glittery sequined suit with a matching top hat, running around the stage like he was in his twenties (not 61). I just wished i would've been doing a j during this encore like Wooderson or something.
