Due to very small budgets allocated to recordings by Christian labels, most of the music videos you can buy have seriously suffered from lack of quality. This video however, is an exception not because of a bigger financial outlay but because One Bad Pig have such an excellent, visually riveting live show. Fourteen songs and sixty five minutes in length this video offers too good value for money. The band were recorded live during the American Cornerstone festival playing to a very enthusiastic crowd of Pig supporters. High­lights are lead vocalist Kosher diving from the drum platform into a giant Ice Cream Sundae, one brave fan abandoning his long hair to Kosher's scissors during "Cut Your Hair". Around 30 people including members of other Christian metal bands smashing guitars on stage during "Smash The Guitar" and if all this sounds like the worst kind of worldly indulgence you've failed to understand the serious intent behind all the mayhem. One Bad Pig are out to communicate spiritual truth to the moshers and communicate they do. Kosher breaks down in repentance in front of around 7000 fans and the gospel is presented in crystal clarity. There is so much happening on this tape that I could write a book. Look out for the skateboaders on stage, or Mike Bloodgood and Les Carlson of Bloodgood fame to the Pig's music (how many other famous Christian metalheads can you spot?). This is possibly the best live Christian concert video that I have seen. Buy it
