Hello Dennis,
When you've performed with Alice more recently do you still play the songs in the same key as they were written in the 70s or do you drop them a 1/2 or 1 step?
I know a lot of vocalists have the musicians play in a lower key because it's hard to hit the same notes they hit in their 20s.
Thanks for answering our questions.
Drop a Step?

Re: Drop a Step?
If you've seen the Live From The Astroturf, Alice Cooper film, it's up to pitch in A 440. That's one reason the songs sound more like the original recordings.
When the original group has sat in with Alice, and when we did the UK tour in 2017, we've tuned down 1/2 a step.
The reasoning is wise because Alice performs night after night, and as you know, he never phones it in.
It's also a popular notion that the lower tuning sounds bigger in live shows.
