Amazon.com Truth be told, since the blunted triumphs of their eponymous debut and 1993's Black Sunday, Cypress Hill have been in a steady creative tailspin. Tellingly, on this live disc, recorded at the legendary San Francisco venue, it's the trio's genuinely entertaining performances of early material such as "Real Estate" and "How I Could Just Kill a Man" that stand out. But the percussive accompaniment and fuzzy guitars the group draft to dress up the rest of their material simply make the proceedings repetitive and tiresome and obscure B-Real's distinctive whine and Muggs's production--the group's two greatest assets. Thankfully, there is a return to their most potent material toward the end, but it doesn't save this release from being a cursory footnote in their discography. For completists only. --Del F.

CD ReviewsCheckmate fool! Michel Aaij | Montgomery, AL | 02/03/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Cypress Hill is live and raw on this one. Backed up by SX-10 they show they still got the goods. This album has great versions of some old classics--"Hand on the Pump," "A to the K," "Insane in the Brain" are awesome. I especially like this (faster?) version of "I Ain't Goin' Out Like That," man, rap and metal really gel on that.The ... reviewer called this "a cursory footnote in their discography"--but why do we buy live albums? Cause we weren't there, or we want to hear it again, not necessarily for anything new or so. The boys from the Hill made their move on "Skull and Bones" and this live album is consolidation. So it's not a footnote, it's proof of their ability. And it's tight! Live albums should show that a band is as good on stage as in the studio, and the Hill perform, and the added energy coming out of the Bay Area makes this a great album. And it sounds all real: I think I'm smelling some Northern Cali coming out of my speakers." Cypress delivers a solid live performance halo1000 | 12/21/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "After over a decade in the rap game, Cali's Cypress Hill offer fully-charged live cd for your listening pleasure. Unlike many rap acts, Cypress tours extensively and makes the most out of both the studio and the stage. Their original talent shines through on Live at the Fillmore.The Hill performs nearly all of their classic joints; "Pigs", "How I Could Just Kill a Man", and of course "Insane in the Brain". The songs sound pretty good overall, but if you are only into the "perfect-sounding" studio albums, then you may be disappointed in this take-it-or-leave-it record. At times the vocals and guitar become a tug-of-war, but overall, the songs work on this cd." Great CD Michel Aaij | 03/26/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've been a fan of Cypress Hill for a long time, and this CD is possibly the best of them all. It has all of the best songs, and are played with great energy and momentum. Many, if not all of the songs sound much more energetic and alive then on the studio albums. Even stuff from the newer albums, which I didn't like very much, is worth listening to again and again. Bottom line is, if you liked the early Cypress Hill albums, and dig live material you'll love this CD. It's one of the best live CDs I've ever heard."
