Alice Cooper, Halestorm & MIW

Friday night we went to the last date of the summer tour by Alice Cooper, Halestorm & Motionless in White.  It was a great time Alice at 71 years old still delivers playing 21 career spanning songs with as uaual a great stage show time was a little over an hour and a half.  Halestorm was outstanding in there one hour 11 song set.  They are local for me as my kids went to Red Lion PA H.S. which is where they are from, so I've seen them a number of times but this was the first time since the new album has been released.  Motionless in White was the second time seeing them and they were better then the first time I'm not a fan so don't know the material but sounded better then I recall and was entertained for a first act, we did miss the 1st 2 songs. they played about 40 minutes.  The set-lists are attached below for each band and a couple pictures.
