Cypress Hill To Record First Live Album

After completing a slew of high-energy dates with Limp Bizkit on the free, Napster-sponsored "Back To Basics" tour, Cypress Hill will head to San Francisco for a one-off show that will be taped for the group's first-ever live album.

The intimate concert will take place at the Fillmore on August 16 and will also be filmed for an accompanying home video and DVD.

As with the group's sets on the current Napster tour, Cypress will have live-band backup onstage courtesy of Sen Dog's other act, SX-10.
