Bookending the crazy weekend we had last week was a second concert. This one was in the newly renamed Liberty First Arena only a few minutes from where we live. I was concerned about being too tired since I drove back from Minneapolis the morning of the concert but I ended up getting a second wind.

| Buckcherry. |
The warm up act was Buckcherry. I'd heard the name but wasn't familiar at all with their music. Can't say it was of my taste but the energy of the band definitely woke me up. It was the lead singer's birthday so the entire band and audience sang happy birthday to him before they rapped up their set.
Alice Cooper came on with a bang and the drop of a curtain. From there it was a non-stop rockfest. Special effects, giant figures, incredible playing, fun songs.

| Alice, Tommy Henriksen, and Nita Strauss |
The highlight, right after Alice Cooper himself, was lead guitarist
Nita Strauss. She was awesome. They all were frankly. Everyone had a solo and they all took advantage of the spotlight.

I really enjoyed the show. It ended with a medley of "School's Out" and Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" which was incredible.
I ended up with some good swag too. A t-shirt with a type-o:
