The Fox Box is an eight-CD live album by the Allman Brothers Band. It contains the complete three-concert run recorded on September 24, 25, and 26, 2004 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. It was released on March 24, 2017.[1][2][3][4][5]
On jambands.com, Larson Sutton wrote, "This is a celebration, and a fittingly fantastic one, with a comprehensive 55 songs played over three nights, only one repeated ("Dreams"), and several special guests on hand to toast the Brothers."[2]
On AllMusic, Dave Lynch said, "The Fox Box sold out its initial 2004 run before being re-released in late 2005 (and again in 2017, remastered with some tightening of the song spacing, and trimmed down a bit from nine discs to eight).... The Fox Box showcases practically everything that the 21st century Allmans could present at their most epic, revealing a band in astoundingly good shape 35 years after its founding."[3]
In the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Wade Tatangelo wrote, "While a bit much for the casual Allman Brothers Band enthusiast or newbie needing a shot of At Fillmore East, The Fox Box is a fun, thrilling ride that shouldn't be missed by any self-respecting fan. It’s nearly nine hours of music that never loses its relevance and focus... Yes, from the opening "Mountain Jam" to the closing "Whipping Post", it's a smile-inducing journey."[4]
