1) Alice Cooper rose to fame in the early 1970s with the hits “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” “School’s Out,” and “I’m Eighteen.” When Cooper first got on the rock radar, he shocked not only with horror imagery, but also with how hard and well he rocked, setting the stage for many rock/metal groups to follow. He blended horrific makeup and onstage props like guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, baby dolls, snakes, and dueling swords with high-quality rock and metal music. Rolling Stone called Cooper the world’s “most beloved heavy metal entertainer.” His dad was a preacher for The Church of Jesus Christ (the Bickertonites) which was headquartered in Monongahela, PA, and now in Greensburg. Cooper was raised in Detroit and then Arizona. He is a very accomplished amateur golfer. His concert is sure to be a music and theatrical event. Doors open 7 p.m. Stage AE. 400 North Shore Ave., North Shore.

2) The Pirates continue their long home stand tonight in a game with the Colorado Rockies that is also a Free Shirt Friday. First 20,000 fans receive a Bucco’s T-Shirt. 7:05 p.m. PNC Park, 115 Federal St., North Shore.
