The "Alice Cooper Tour Programs" website has been designed to provide information to help those interested in collecting Alice Cooper's tour programs. There are many great sites which cover the many aspects of Alice Cooper but this site is designed to focus solely on Alice Cooper's tour programs. All the tour programs on  this page were all produced as official Alice Cooper merchandise. There are also many other programs that were produced for the tours as individual concerts such as The Rainbow Theatre concert of 1971. The tour programs on this site are from my personal collection with additional information being sourced by fellow Alice Cooper fans. Some tour programs will be hyper-linked for further information. Refer to each program's description. Please note that the tour dates included are those of the tours for which these tour programs were produced. It is not a complete list of Alice Cooper tour dates. (Refer to the Sickthings UK  link here or below for a complete list of tour dates.)

The Love It To Death And Killer Tours 1971-1972
LITD(3rd May - 7th November1971) Killer(1st December 1971 - 30th June 1972)
The Killer Tour program 1971-1972 (version one). This is the front and rear of the Killer Tour program produced for the Killer Tour. It is quite possible that this programme was used on the later dates on the Love it to Death tour. This version was released in very few numbers and was later replaced by the well know Killer program which has the flexi disc on the rear cover.
It has twenty pages including the front and rear covers and produced in colour and black and white. From the scan further below you can see the contents. It is a great program with individual page shots of Alice, Glen, Michael, Neal and Dennis. No date or printing details are given.
The Killer Tour program (second version). The second version of the Killer tour program was exactly the same as the first version above except that the rear covers differed as can be seen in the scans (below left). The rear cover of the second version contained the cut out flexi disc which had the studio version of the song "Nobody Likes Me". This is the more common version of Killer Tour program as it was produced in larger numbers.
This version of program provides no dates but was printed in the USA.

The Killer Tour program (version three). To the right below is the third version of the program published that appears the same as the second version but because of the high costs involved in pressing the "Nobody Likes Me" single the last runs were pressed without the grooves giving only the impression of a free record. (Source Antony Jones) You can clearly see no grooves or the spindle cut out hole. The inside pages are the same as the first and second versions of the program.
This version of program also provides no dates but was printed in the USA.

The Billion Dollar Babies tour program of 1973. Quite a size for a tour program (over 50 pages). It is more of a magazine as it contains plenty of articles, Alice advertising his mascara, The Coopers' discography, many pictures and has a pull out poster. This program was also used on the School's Out Tour. It was printed in Canada but no printing dates are provided. Front and rear cover scans below. It was also reprinted by Dell Publishing as the "Dell Special" having a modified front cover. Click here for more pages from the BDB tour program
The Alice Cooper Show / The Billion Dollar Babies Tour
(US - 10th March- 7th June 1973)

The Alice Cooper Magazine 1973
Although it was not completely designed as a tour program, this booklet was produced by Alice Cooper for the Alice Cooper Show, "it's a promo 'play bill' that was given to the press for the tour." (Source Brian "Renfield" Nelson).

It was also used as part of the Billion Dollar Babies Press Kit for the album (Source Antony Jones).

This booklet credits the touring personnel, has a small article by Ashely Pandel of AC promotions, and an article about the session work for the Billion Dollar Babies album. It also contains some good individual photographs of Alice, Glen, Michael, Neal and Dennis.
Alice Cooper Magazine
The Welcome to My Nightmare US Tour program from 1975. Many colour and black and white pictures from a solo Alice as well as some great shots from the group days. This program is larger and has many different pictures than the WTMN program that was used for the Australian Welcome To my Nightmare tour in 1977. No date or printing details provided. Click here for pages from the WTMN tour program
The Welcome To My Nightmare Tour
( US / Canada - 4th April - 16th July 1975, 13th - 20th December 1975.
European - 31st August - 8th September 1975,  16th - 20th September 1975.
UK - 11th - 14th September 1975.)

The Guilty Tour / The King Of The Silver Screen Tour
(19th June - 30th August 1977)
The program for the 1977 Guilty Tour or King of the Silver Screen Tour as it is otherwise commonly known. There are two versions of this tour program both being identical in picture content and layout. The only difference between the two versions is the credits listing. One version has the musicians credited which fits the 1977 Guilty/King of the Silver Screen tour where as the other program is titled Guilty but has no musicians credited. It is likely that the non credited program is an early production run for the 1977 Guilty/King of the Silver Screen tour rather than being used on the following School's Out for Summer tour in 1978 as it credits Dick Wagner as the Musical Director and Dick did not perform with Alice on this tour. (Click here)
Neither version has dates but both were printed in the USA.

The 1977 Australian and New Zealand Welcome To My Nightmare Tour program. This tour program has a similar cover and some similar pictures inside to the US version but is smaller in content.
It is unique for an Alice Cooper tour program as it was produced especially for the Australian and New Zealand Tour of 1977, no other tours had their own tour program.
This program does not credit any performers on the tour. In addition to the pictures there is an advertisement for the Alice Cooper collection to 1977 and also contains several other advertisements for local companies. There are no dates or printing details.

The Australian Welcome To My Nightmare Tour
(14th March - 4th April 1977)

The Madhouse Rock Tour
(11th February - 14th April 1979)
There were two different versions of tour programs produced for the Madhouse Rock Tour of 1978 tour. The first program has many similarities to the Guilty tour program having  similar pictures. Some of pictures have been resized.  Also the credits page layout is similar but the credits show different performers.
The latter more common Madhouse Rock tour program (on the right) is in full colour and has a different pictures from the earlier version. No date displayed in either programs. The first version was printed in the USA.
The first Madhouse Rock program was produced from a handmade prototype, pictures of it and some pages from the final product can be seen if you.... Click Here

The tour programs for the Flush the Fashion US Tour of 1980 and  the Special Forces Tour of 1981-82.

The program is large in size, all colour and has many pictures of Alice from this period of change, a real Flush of the Fashion.

There are other layout changes such as the sizing of some of the pictures,  text colour and minor changes within the text as there was a drummer change (Jonathon Mover/Eric Singer) which is also reflected in the musicians' individual pictures. The burgundy titled program has Jonathon Mover as the drummer whilst both the red titled programs have either Eric Singer or Johnathon Mover.  All three tour programs dated 1989 and all were printed in the UK.

Alice Cooper Collecting
This was the last tour program produced by Alice Cooper until The Theatre of Death World Tour 2009 - 2010. Alice's Eyes of Alice Cooper tour in Australia and the Dirty Diamonds tour of Europe / US  (2005) and Alice's Psycho Drama Tours 2007/9. have not had any supporting tour programs. The exception to this was the Guilfest 2003 programme which is featured on Alice Cooper Tour Programs Part 2: Other Alice Cooper related Tour / Concert programs see below for a link.


Dragontown Blueline Proof
To the right is a photo of a 'blueline' proof of the tour book.  This was made only to proof the book before it went to press and it is believed that this is one of only 2 copies produced. (Photo  and information. Matt Coddington.)
Dragontown and Bare Bones tour
Alice Cooper Airbrushed Jackets & Tshirts
As mentioned the Theatre of Death tour program is the only program to be produced since the Dragontown  tour program back in 2002.  This time though the program is not in a book format as such but a "postergram". When full opened it becomes a large poster of Alice. The postergram is, as an excited Alice claimed after meeting him at The Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide South Australia, "a new way to do it, Rob Roth did a great job he said, He asked me personally what I thought. "Great of course!" This postergram is very informative as the reverse side of the poster has, An introduction to the Theatre of Death by your host Alice Cooper, the Set List, the Cast of Characters and information about the Guillotine and gallows.
It is an all colour production with up to date pictures from the Theatre of Death early concerts.
