Swallow This Live is the first live album by American glam metal band Poison. It was released in 1991 through Capitol Records. The album peaked at number 51 on The Billboard 200, and was certified Gold platinum in 2001 by the RIAA.
The album features 16 live tracks from Poison's first 3 studio albums Look What the Cat Dragged In, Open Up and Say...Ahh! and Flesh & Blood, and was recorded in Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, Florida during the band's Flesh & Blood world tour. It also contains four new studio tracks, which were the last recorded before guitarist C.C. DeVille departed from the band later that year. One track, So Tell Me Why, was released as a single and reached number 25 in the United Kingdom in November 1991 and features a music video. "Guitar Solo" was named the worst guitar solo ever by Guitar World magazine in 2004.
Disc 1
Disc 2
The UK single disc version contained a cut down track listing that lost the guitar and drum solos and the tracks "Let It Play", "Life Goes On", "Ride the Wind", and "Love on the Rocks".
Capitol Records released a digitally remastered edition of Swallow This Live in a single-disc format on June 1, 2004. Aside from the bonus studio tracks, this release is missing "Poor Boy Blues," the drum solo, and the guitar solo. In addition, much of the profanity from the original release has been edited out and the track listing was slightly altered to have "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" as the last song on the disc.
