It started off at 5.30pm, We are all now standing in line for Alice Cooper and we are so near the door with only a few people infront of us. Getting excited now.
They let us in at about 6pm to sit down and wait for the concert to start, everybody sits down and we only have 1 row of people infront of us in the barrier.

I have a video on my phone. So when the concert started. Joan Jett was first out, she got us all warmed up pretty well. With great songs. I admit I have never heard of her songs before that night, I even thought she was a dude (Like Alice Cooper has a gilr name, lol) But no, she rocked. I also filmed the blackhearts =] That was allll cool.

After Joan Jett had finished, they brought out Motorhead. Unfortuneatly the crowd was too rough to film them and my dad (Who was holding my phone at the time) Was pushed back by the masses of crowds pushing forward. The only reason I managed to stay at the front was because I was holding onto the barrier through the gaps in peoples arms. I got squished a hell of alot but I managed to survive. I never knew motorhead gigs could be so loud and so violent. But I'm hell a sure glad that I went because it pwned!

Motorhead played amazingly, especially the ace of spades. After they finished playing that Philip threw his plec into the crowd, it landed conviniantly into my arms stuck to me with the sweat and half indented into my arm and my arm sleeves. I was damn lucky.

After they had finished. I got talking to three nearby people. An oldish man who sounded a bit camp but was extremely nice, a 20 year old woman and an 18 year old guy. We were talking about how we had all came to see Alice and that it was my first time seeing him. Just as we were talking the lights dimmed and the spotlight hit the banner which held his name. This was filmed by my dad as he had my phone and the motorhead rush had pushed him right back away from me. I was still near the front, beind kept there by those three amazing people, not wanting me to miss a moment. I love them for it and I dont even know their names =D

After a while the crowd became really rowdy, the 20 year old had completely disapeared into the crowd but the man and the 18 year old were still keeping me firmly at the front, while me and the 18 year old were using eachothers shoulders to lean on to hold our metal fingers into the air. Alice looked right at us and my makeup and I nearly fainted. He then started throwing neclaces into the crowd. My friend got one but I didnt. He was doing this while playing dirty diamonds. An awesome song. Prancing about like the stage was all his, and it most certainly was

For his cinematic performance. He was placed in a straitjacket and they hung him. He looked head as his corpse was hanging there. I screamed. I generally thought that this time they had killed him. But he came back from darkness with Schools Out and everybody was singing along. No video I'm afraid


After about an hour, everyone was running low on steam, including Alice, so he took out his sword, with 100 dollar alice bills on it and shook the bills into the crowd. they all landed within the space of the stage and the barrier. So the guards picked them up and passed them out to the people at the front.

The bill is now on my cork board.

By the end of the night. I had already got myself an Alice Cooper band t-shirt and currently wearing it now.

Alice Cooper was amazing and was money well spent. AWESOMENESS!!
