(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Alice Cooper performed at Bergen Performing Arts Center (BergenPAC) on Monday, March 5th and photographer Debra Rothenberg was on hand to take some photos. Cooper is touring in support of Paranormal, his 27th studio album, which was released on July 28, 2017. Cooper describes the album as being “like 12 great episodes of The Twilight Zone – each song tells its own twisted little tale.” In addition to the new tracks, Paranormal included a bonus disc of his current band playing killer live versions of some of his old band’s greatest hits, including “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” “Billion Dollar Babies” and “School's Out.” Here are some photos from the show:
