(8/10/00, 4 p.m. ET) - Cypress Hill will record and film its August 16 concert at San Francisco's Fillmore Theater for inclusion on a live album, DVD, and VHS project due out in early December. This will be Cypress Hill's first live album.

Although the forthcoming collection is being billed as a live album, it may include a few new studio tracks. The DVD and VHS portions of the release will include live footage, videos, and a documentary on the band.

Cypress Hill is not the only group recording a live album at the Fillmore. Rage Against The Machine will perform August 21 and 22 at the venue and will feature portions of those shows on its forthcoming live album, which is scheduled for a November release. Like Cypress Hill's release, Rage's will also feature a DVD and home video in conjunction with the live album.
