Mile High Live
The Chicago quartet here serves up itsAllmans-lite-style grooves in a consistently pleasing manner, the only difference from past efforts being that they finally show their stuff in a concert setting. Recorded during a 1998 West Coast tour, FJB's first live effort is loaded with spirited versions of fan favorites such as "In a Daydream," "The Puppet," and "One World." Fun jams and plenty of the usual digital delay on the guitars rule the day. An interesting cover selection would have been nice, but even without itA Mile High Livewill surely appeal to fans. Newcomers might even want to start with this one since it's essentially a greatest-hits package with extra flair.--Jason Pascal
