    Hey, I was there--left hand side--first row. This is the band's famous Cornerstone 1992 performance. It was definitely one of my top shows at the Fest that year. Bride was at the height of its glory and hot that night, and it's all here. The sound isn't always perfect, but it's adequate. The sound is pure metal from the period where Bride usually ruled the top of the metal charts. Dale's passionate preaching is there too.

    If you were there, you'll want this album. If you only heard about the glory days of Bride, this is a way to experience the band. If you were a metal fan, grab this album!
