Live at the Fillmore

Amazon.co.uk 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 like "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 hinder B-Real's distinctive whine and Muggs' production--the group's two greatest assets. Thankfully, there is a return to their most potent material towards the end, but it doesn't save this release from being a cursory footnote in their discography. For completists only. --Del F.Cowie Product description NEW CD - 2000 - SONY - EAN 5099750055823
