We already knew rocker Alice Cooper was set to perform in Israel last night. And while there is still no mainstream media coverage of his visit or concert, I have been able to dig up photos and video from social media, which indicate he managed to check out Jerusalem AND wow everyone in concert.

Oh, and in case you are wondering – yes, he WAS beheaded.

Wow, look at all the cell phones in the audience! I wonder if this is something the show’s producers encourage. Maybe rock concert etiquette is different, but I’ve never seen this at a live Broadway performance in New York or a live show in Las Vegas. I’ve read that Penn and Teller for some performances encourage cell phone use and somehow incorporate it into their show. I would find it very annoying to be sitting next to a guy recording the performance with his cell phone.
rock and pop stars have embraced social media
one cannot use flash cameras, but cell phones are allowed
free pub
youtube is filled with clips from many concerts
Thanks for the info, Walt. I haven’t been to a rock concert in decades, well before cell phones were even invented. Many Broadway productions and those in Las Vegas make significant efforts to prevent cell phone usage inside the theater, even before the performance begins.
ya, alice has always put on some of the best shows in the biz
too bad he didnt do a bit of ripping roger waters head off
