Live at the Paramount is a live video by the grunge band Nirvana released in 2011. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc as part of the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind album. It showcases a live performance at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle from October 31, 1991. The footage is taken from the only Nirvana show ever to be shot on 16 mm film. The Blu-ray features uncompressed 48 kHz/24-bit sound.
As well as the standalone DVD and Blu-ray releases, a DVD along with a CD audio version of the show are available packaged together as part of the limited edition Super Deluxe box set reissue of the Nevermind album.
The show in its entirety was previously unreleased. However, some of the individual performances had been previously released; the audio of "Been a Son" was released as a B-Side to the Lithium single and "School" and "Drain You" were released as B-Sides to the Come as You Are single. Additionally, the performances of "About a Girl", "Polly", "Breed" and "Endless Nameless" were previously released on the live compilation video Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! in 1994. The audio of "Negative Creep" was previously released on the live compilation album From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah in 1996. The performance of "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" was previously released on the DVD of the rarities box set With the Lights Out in 2004.
The Blu-ray version has been widely criticized for having audio sync problems. Amazon has posted a statement from Universal that denies the problem exists, but the review at the website Blu-ray.com gives the audio a score of 0/5 because of the sync issues.
