Short story:
Alice Cooper plays at Harrington Auditorium, Worcester, Massachusetts, supported by Blue Oyster Cult.Full article:
Eric Bloom (vocalist, Blue Oyster Cult) : Our first record had just come out and we were given the chance to open for Alice Cooper. He wasn't getting along with the opening band on his tour and was looking for someone new. We were given one show to see how things worked out. It was in Worcester, and we broke out with that show. We got one chance and we took off.
When we started, we played with Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Heart, Kiss and Cheap Trick. All those bands are still working. It was an interesting time with a lot of good music happening. There was a lot to like in all different styles. We did one show where Kiss went on first, then there was a band called Teenage Lust, then it was Iggy Pop, and we were the headliners.
