I have got some more information about this. The Mar Y Sol festival was held between April 1 - 3, 1972. The Alice Cooper Group played at 5AM on the 3rd. Other acts on the bill included ELP, BB King, Allman Bros., Black Sabbath, Rod Stewart and the Faces, Osibisa, Dr John, Fleetwood Mac, Roberta Flack, The J. Geils Band, Bloodrock, Dave Bedford, Savoy Brown and Poco
A contemporary review from the New York Times stated: "
sometime around 5 AM Alice Cooper came out to do his freakish rock routine. For once, the garish costumes, transvestite mannerisms, melodramatically sadistic routines that are his stock in trade seemed relatively inoffensive. Filtered through early morning grogginess, Alice Cooper came across more like the remnants of a grotesque nightmare than a serious rock group."
This is actually a soundboard recording, and not taken from a radio show. Apparently it has surfaced before, but in a truncated form - this is the first time that the full recording has been available. '
School's Out' had yet to be finalised and recorded, and so the version here is based around a band jam played mid-way through '
Long Way To Go'
