The complete set exsists from the original professional recordings of the festival. Hopefully it will get released one day. So far only one song from that performance, an intrumental version of "School's Out", has been offcially released on the boxed set "Old School" (Disc 2, track 2).

Time:

Played after ELP. Per the New York Times review they went on stage at 5:00 am.

 

Country:

For a long time there has been an odd piece of information among Alice Cooper fans about where this festival took place. Several Alice Cooper fan websites say the festival took place in the West Indian Isles. Technically that is correct as by definition...

The West Indies is a large group of islands that separate the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. They comprise three main island groups:

Bahamas (north)
Greater Antilles (central) [Puerto Rico falls in this group]
Lesser Antilles (southeast)

However that is way too generic. That's like saying "I have this cool bootleg of Alice Cooper from Europe" instead of saying "...from London". So, if you're one of them and would like to change it for something more normal just put "Puerto Rico".

 

 

 

Memories:

"Ozzy [Osbourne] needed a tie to get in to the casino. So while I'm cutting my scarf in half to make Ozzy a Bowtie, I hear a 'Hi Harold!' I turn around and it's Alice Cooper and Cindy Lang picture perfect dressed as Nick and Nora and a matching Asta! I so wanted to find my own Nora! Still looking...."
- Harold C. Black (David Peel band)

 

"I was not a fan of Alice Cooper till I saw him in concert at Mar y Sol. I think I was more amazed at the crowd reaction then the actual show but they could rock. I remember this chill going over me when Alice hung himself. He also did the throwing money bit into the crowd and watching people scramble for it was pretty funny".
- Michael Bobot, Boca Raton, Fl.

 

"some people remember Alice Cooper played very early in the morning and the stage was filled with fog , when the fog dispersed you could see Alice Cooper in a slipknot".
- Jorge H. Maymi, Puerto Rico

 

"Alice Cooper took the stage and with the color lights and the bubble machines going off it was like magic in the sky and everywhere".
- David Stone, Florida

 

"The one thing I remember the most from their show was that he took out a sword with $$ bills stashed to it, and was flinging the bills on the crowd...that was a "rush" for the crowd. I crashed after this show."
- Lou Portela, California

 

"In the evening we all enjoyed the company of Alice Cooper at a casino while he played roulette."
- Joanna Garland (performed with David Peel's band at the festival)
