August 9th, 1970. The Alice Cooper Group appear on the final day of the three day 'Goose Lake International Music Festival', held in Leoni Township, Michigan. They appear between 2:45 - 3:00pm, with Suite Charity appearing before them and Mitch Ryder w/ Detroit after them

A typical setlist for the era consisted of:

• Sun Arise
• Mr. & Misdemeanor
• Fields of Regret
• I'm Eighteen
• Levity Ball
• Is It My Body
• Lay Down and Die, Goodbye
• Black Juju

so presumably this was cut down for the festival

This was how a festival should be done! The stage was built on a large, revolving turntable with two performance spaces so that the previous band could disassemble its equipment and the next band could set up while the current band was performing. At the end of each performance, the stage would rotate 180 degrees, and the next act would begin performing almost immediately. The backstage area had a tent where 20 to 30 groupies described as "sizzlers" were available for the performers!

People who attended were provided with free campsites, free parking and free firewood. There were toilets and showers every 500 feet, medical staff, motorcycle and dune buggy trails, a lake with a beach, and what was described as being "the longest slide in the world" (although there is no record of just how long it was!)

The admission price for the three-day event was $15, and entry tokens were sold to avoid the counterfeiting of paper tickets. (To put this in perspective, a recent three-day festival in the same area had tickets for $1326, presumably without all the attractive extras that were provided in 1970). To keep gatecrashers out, the site was surrounded by a high chain-link fence topped by barbed wire

"Rumor in Echo Park has it that if you stand quietly near the edge of the lake, you can hear the echoes of tales being told on the other side. Now, if their lake can talk, let’s hope the walls of this quiet Spanish influenced duplex in Echo Park will share a story or two. That is because the ‘Godfather of Shock Rock’, Alice Cooper, owns this home. It is his Los Angeles writer’s retreat where he stays while in town creating new albums for himself and the Hollywood Vampires. Completely renovated after Cooper bought the property in 2006, this duplex houses one two bedroom, two bathroom unit, and one one bedroom, one bathroom studio. Some of his memorabilia is on display for you to see. Sunset Boulevard is just steps away and Echo Park Lake and Dodger Stadium are both within easy access as well. Echo Park proudly holds onto its bohemian neighborhood lifestyle – equal parts hip and grit. If you prefer to stand out and make your mark, welcome home.
