Review - :
This double-disc is essentially the audio component to the DVD of the same name released in March 2006. There are several live documents of {$the Black Crowes} before their breakup especially, but this one shows them at their rawest, with a complete horn section and backing vocalists tearing it up at the Fillmore. It's true, one can listen to the DVDs , but if you aren't one of those people who particularly likes to watch music videos, this might be a better bet. The sound is great, and the performance is positively electric. It starts a little ragged, but that's part of the charm; by the time the band gets to {&"Soul Slinging"} four cuts in, they are burning. {$Chris Robinson}'s deep hippie aspirations as expressed on his {^New Earth Mud} solo album get incorporated here without {$the Black Crowes} losing any of their fire, ferocity, or crazy, raw performance antics. {$Rich Robinson}'s playing is top-notch, as is the rest of the band's. Check cuts like {&"Jealous Again"} or the cover of {&"Space Captain."} Slip on disc two and get to {&"Non Fiction,"} clocking in at over ten minutes, or the closing cover version of {&"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,"} and the belief is in the hearing. If {$the Black Crowes} wanted to prove they were back as a band, {^Freak 'N' Roll...Into the Fog} should be all the evidence one needs. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
