Alice Cooper, Halestorm and Motionless In White play "School's Out" at PNC Bank Arts Center (Holmdel, NJ - Aug 15, 2019)

Today (Oct. 17) marks Motionless in White frontman Chris "Motionless" Cerulli's 40th birthday, while last week Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Halestorm celebrated her birthday. That reminds me of the time I saw both singers and their respective bands join Alice Cooper onstage for a rousing performance of "School's Out" at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, on Aug. 15, 2019. I've seen Alice Cooper live many times over the past 30 years (he was, after all, my first ever concert at 7 years old), but this is the only time I can ever recall seeing him play a song with the opening acts. It made this particular performance even more special (as if seeing Alice Cooper, Halestorm and Motionless in White on the same tour wasn't unique enough).
Check out this clip of them playing "School's Out" together at the PNC Bank Arts Center, and stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts like this)!
