''From the Inside'' is the eleventh studio album by Alice Cooper, released in 1978. It is a concept album about Cooper’s stay in a New York sanitarium due to his alcoholism. Each of the characters in the songs were based on actual people Cooper met in the sanitarium. With this album, he saw the addition of three former members of the Elton John band: lyricist Bernie Taupin, guitarist Davey Johnstone and bassist Dee Murray. The lead single from the album was “How You Gonna See Me Now”, an early example of a power ballad, which reached #12 in the US' Hot 100 chart. A music video was also created for it. The ‘Madhouse Rocks Tour’ in support of ''From the Inside'' lasted from February to April 1979 and saw all songs from the album as regular parts of the setlist except “Millie and Billie”, “For Veronica’s Sake” and “Jackknife Johnny”.〔(Alice Cooper setlists )〕 Since 1980, however, songs from ''From the Inside'' have rarely been performed live, with the only cases being “Serious” on the 2003 ‘Bare Bones’ tour,〔(‘Serious’ in setlists )〕 “Wish I Were Born in Beverly Hills” on the 2005-2006 ''Dirty Diamonds'' Tour,〔(‘Wish I Were Born in Beverly Hills’ in setlists )〕 “Nurse Rozetta” on the ‘Descent into Dragontown’ and ‘Theatre of Death’ tours,〔(‘Nurse Rozetta’ in setlists )〕 and “From the Inside” between 1997 and 1999 and on the late 2000s ‘Theatre of Death’ tour.〔(‘From the Inside’ in setlists )〕 The album is also notable for having been used to form the characters and storyline when Alice Cooper was featured in a comic book, Marvel Premiere #50. The album's cover image features the opening manner of doors leading into a hospital waiting room. The doors feature Cooper's face. ==Track listing== This was one of three Alice Cooper albums to be reissued in 1990 by Metal Blade Records on CD and cassette.
