Live from the Astroturf is the 12th live album by rock group Alice Cooper, originally released through Good Records on November 23, 2018,[1] before receiving a worldwide release from Earmusic on September 30, 2022.[2] It features eight songs performed by the original line-up of the Alice Cooper band (Neal Smith, Dennis Dunaway, and Michael Bruce, with Ryan Roxie filling in for the late Glen Buxton) recorded on October 6, 2015, at Good Records in Dallas, Texas.[3]
In addition to the live concert album, a documentary film titled Live from the Astroturf, Alice Cooper, produced by Christopher Todd Penn and directed by Steven Gaddis, was made that featured the concert, its inception and events leading up to it,[4][5] and a Q&A session with original Alice Cooper group members that took place following the concert.[6] The film premiered at the Phoenix Film Festival April 4 to 14, 2019,[7] in the group's birthplace of Phoenix, Arizona, where it was awarded Best Documentary Short Feature; the four surviving original members of Alice Cooper were in attendance at the World Premiere event on April 5, 2019. The film also was the Official Selection to be shown in the Detroit Freep Film Festival, the Dallas International Film Festival, and the Northeast Mountain Film Festival.
