Drawing on performances from both nights, ‘Live at the Fillmore’ finds the band rising to meet the history of the room, Rix simultaneously plays keyboards and drums to stunning effect on soulful show opener “Blue and Green” and a driving cover of Jimmy Reed’s “Big Boss Man,” while Oliver moves between blistering Delta slide guitar on “Sky High” and tender acoustic finger picking on “Keep Me Around,” and Chris’ sinuous upright bass shines on “River Takes The Town” and kicks in to over drive on the mind-bending “Atlas.” Tracks like the breezy “Chocolate On My Tongue” and timely “Can’t Look Away” (a rarely-played deep cut with candid social commentary), take on new life with adventurous, extended improvisations, and reimagined versions of Tommy Johnson’s “Big Road Blues” and Charles Wright’s “Express Yourself” flow seamlessly in and out of the band’s original material.
