Out West (subtitle Live at the Fillmore) is a live double-album released by Gomez in June 2005. It features material primarily from their first two albums, Bring It On and Liquid Skin, with a few tracks each from In Our Gun and Split the Difference, and one from the Machismo E.P.. There are also a few cover songs, such as "Going Out West" by Tom Waits and "Black Eyed Dog" by Nick Drake (which is combined with "Free to Run" in an extended song). The front album cover is a psychedelic manipulation of a photograph of a traditional Mexican band, probably inspired by the Fillmore's tradition of using psychedelic posters to promote events. The back album cover shows the actual band Gomez in similar outfits (humor probably intended by the band--they do have a Spanish name).

Overall, the sound quality of this album is excellent. While the crowd sings along at various points, they never overpower the band. Note that this is the first album Gomez released for ATO Records after splitting from Virgin Records.

The UK edition of the album, released on Independiente, comes with a bonus DVD.
