Bride
Bride Live! Volume I
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This band has made some smart decisions that help them continue as a band. One is that they regularly release product via mail-order - live videos, solo albums, demo cd's, and this live collection. These songs (also included are a few mini-sermons) were recorded at four different locations: Germany's Christmas Rock Night, Brazil, Cornerstone, and The King's Place in Columbus, Ohio. The first nine tracks, recorded in Germany this past December, are the highest quality recordings featured here. Judging by the drum sounds, I would guess this was recorded from the sound board with little or no room miking. This one won't win any awards for live album sonic quality, but fans and collectors will enjoy hearing this bootleg-quality live music. It's another reminder that the Oddities album is worth taking another listen to. For ordering info, write: Millennium Eight Records, 6109 Scotmar Dr, Lansing MI 48911
