Most people clean out the attic and find holiday decorations. Alice Cooper presumably finds something requiring a permit. The shock-rock pioneer brings his Alice’s Attic Tour to San Jose Civic, continuing a career built on hard-rock hooks and theatrical bad behavior. His catalog runs from “School’s Out” and “Billion Dollar Babies” to “Poison,” with horror-movie imagery and vaudeville excess woven into the spectacle. Last year’s The Revenge of Alice Cooper reunited the original band’s surviving members for their first full-length studio album since 1973, with producer Bob Ezrin returning to the controls. Retirement apparently remains the one frightening concept Cooper has no interest in exploring.
