Live from the Fox Oakland is the second live album[1] from American rock ensemble Tedeschi Trucks Band.[2] Released on March 17, 2017, through Fantasy Records in both audio and video, the work was recorded on the second night of a two-day September 2016[3] show in California.[4]

Reception

Live from the Fox Oakland was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.[5]

In a review for AllMusic, Mark Deming described the music as "a muscular fusion of blues, soul, rock, and funk that's emotionally powerful and technically dazzling," and noted that "the show captures the group in strong form."[4]

Jeff Tamarkin of Relix called the group "probably the best working rock band in America," and wrote: "this document is a time stamp of one ceaselessly creative collective at a key point in its evolution."[6]

American Songwriters Hal Horowitz stated that the album "puts you in the middle of the music, making this the perfect way to absorb the impact of the Tedeschi Trucks Band firing on all cylinders in their natural habitat."

Writing for The Arts Fuse, Scott McLennan called the album "a wide-angle lens shot that justly captures the Tedeschi Trucks Band in action," and commented: "So much goes on over the course of Live from the Fox Oakland that the TTB upends the notion of a band 'settling' into a sound. Nothing is settling down here; if anything, the band refuses sit in any one spot — it is constantly in motion, kicking up new ideas as it moves forward."[7]

In an article for Glide Magazine, Doug Collette praised "the obvious sense of shared, joyful engagement on the part of everyone playing at any given moment," and described the album as "a peak concert experience."
