On October 31, 1986, Alice Cooper performed a live concert in Detroit titled "The Nightmare Returns," which marked a significant moment in his career. This performance occurred during the promotion of his album "Constrictor," released earlier that same year. "Constrictor" marked a pivotal return to hard rock for Cooper, following a period of fluctuating commercial success throughout the 1980s. The tour showcased a revamped lineup, including guitarist Kane Roberts, whose heavy guitar work contributed to the album's distinct sound. Notably, Kip Winger, credited as "Kip Winger III," played bass during this performance, adding to the ensemble's reputation for talented musicianship. This concert also exemplified Cooper's theatrical stage presence, continuing his legacy of shock rock while bringing a modern edge to his performances.
