How was Alice Cooper’s first show in Brazil?

Alice Cooper’s first presentation in Brazilian lands took place on April 30, 1974, at Anhembi. The setlist (via Estadão) had hits such as “School’s Out”, “Billion Dollar Babies”, “Hello Hooray!” and “I Love the Dead”.

However, the show was somewhat chaotic: the audience that was farther from the stage tried to get closer to the music idol. Because of this, those in the front began to “invade” the stage in order to not be crushed or injured. Then the presentation was interrupted immediately.

Despite Cooper’s threats not to resume the show, he returned with style with all that megalomania of his live performances, with beheaded dolls, the singer being electrocuted (and even guillotine) and more.
