Nirvana: Live at the Paramount

How did it take me this long to find this album? This will be your new favorite. It's pretty much a greatest hits and recorded in their prime.

A little back-story.....living in the Seattle area I had heard a few nirvana songs off the bleach album but honestly wasn't really that familiar with the band. Many of my in the know friends however, kept hyping the future release of Nevermind and I remember a few attended the record release party. So the day the album came out I stopped by the record store after school and picked up a cassette copy (was 17 at the time).... listening to the album cranked up through my walkman absolutely blew my mind and would be the soundtrack of my life that fall season. I attended this show about a month later and was right up close to the stage. It was an absolutely electric performance and you could just feel it in the air that you were witnessing something special. I was so stoked that this show had a proper full DVD release other than the few teaser clips as seen on live tonight sold out! The sound and picture quality are phenomenal and all the sights and smells all came rushing back like a trip down memory lane. I feel they were at their peak and this was the greatest time to witness Nirvana and be a fan....It was right before they started exploding into the stratosphere and getting overexposed and dare I say becoming cliché. They start to lose that exuberance that makes them so special and future performances seem more labored. This show was partially responsible for my indie punk / underground music scene obsession that would last for years. It represents that moment in time in Washington State where nearly every late teen / 20 something was in the same consciousness and doing the same things - * Going to thrift stores and smelling like patchouli * 100+ mile road trips to see bands you thought mattered at some hole in the wall dive * Hanging out at small indie record stores and scoring that hard to find colored vinyl * Working that bummer job to fund your music collection and hanging out. * Sharing a big dilapidated house with a bunch of your punk friends * Vintage instruments and gear was actually affordable for your dream of being in a band and touring in a broken down van. * Staying up all night at greasy spoon diners with your friends drinking copious amounts of coffee trying to figure out the meaning of it all...(no internet! Actually had physical contact with people instead of virtual!) * The damp, rainy dreary weather....and so forth Kurt Cobain lived all these things himself and had an uncanny ability to transfer that whole vibe that generation X was feeling into musical form. That's what makes Nirvana and particularly this show so iconic.

This concert rules. It's cool to see them right after the release of Nevermind. I also love their early stuff too, even the ones that aren't as famous, so I think it's really cool to see them play stuff like "Floyd The Barber." And their cover of The Vaselines' "Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam" is really awesome. I just bought it on DVD because I don't have a Blue Ray player, and I don't really care about Blue Ray. DVD's were awesome when they first came out. I don't see anything wrong with them. Plus people say the sound and picture on this concert are out of sync on the Blue Ray version. Oh yeah, and somebody said in their review that their DVD had extras on it. Well, the extras are only on the version that comes with the Super-Deluxe 4-CD + 1-DVD box set. If you buy it seperatly, it doesn't have them. I thought you might want to know that. Anyways, this is an awesome video. If you like Nirvana this is for you. If you don't like Nirvana, why are you looking at this? Leave it for those of us that do. Oh, and it's cool to see an early version of "Rape Me." I almost like it better than the version from In Utero, but I haven't decided. Speaking of which, I hope they release a 20th anniversary thing for In Utero because it's my favorite Nirvana record. And I didn't get the Super-Deluxe one for Nevermind like I wanted to. Anyways This is really cool. It's NIRVANA! Possibly my favorite live band of all time. Welp, you should get it. The video and audio is in sync and the video is good enough. If Blue Ray's really that big of a deal to you, you're not much of a punk rocker anyways. Quit yer whining. Punk's not dead!

Out of everything Nirvana, this is by far my favorite. A superb concert, in a great venue. It’s not a giant stage where the bands spread so far apart they can’t interact with each other, and the audience is hundreds of feet away, like the Reading concert. It’s filmed well, and sounds awesome. Fantastic seeing Dave teach those drums whose the boss. Krist with his quips to the audience (no wonder they never gave him his own mic) bouncing up and down, and Kurt belting it all out with feeling, in that terrific raspy voice. Always love the stage “dancers”, and of course the gratuitous instrument destruction at the end! I miss the 90’s!!

I watched this concert film all the time on TV and wanted the physical copy, I love this film.

I also own a copy of their performance at the Reading Music festival in England. They were both recorded within a year or so of each other but Live at the Paramount they look like they actually enjoyed performing and Reading performance was almost painful to watch as if they were just going through the motions.

This is one of many reasons why i love Live albums. You can hear everything - almost everything atleast but i understand why some bits were omitted. Like Noveselic addressing the fact that the show was being filmed. I'm Only hearing the band not seeing them. Aside from that there is nothing that i can think of other than good things to say about this one. Nirvana in their prime. Before their downward spiral. It's a good thing this has show been documented so well for all to hear.

高評価の理由が分かります。 まず画質が良い!最近撮ったかの様な高画質、とても20年以上前の映像とは思えません。 アングルも良い。画像にも映っていますが、カメラマンが近距離で撮影している為、普段見れない角度から見る事が出来ます。 あとセットリストも良い、さらにパフォーマンスもかなりベストに近いです。 リアルタイム世代の自分としては、この様なクオリティの高い当時の映像を振り返られるとは幸せですね。 ただ一つ惜しい点が、他の方もご指摘されてる様に音ズレが少しある事。 自分は音声を光ケーブルで繋いでいましたが、映像が半音ほど遅れます、（裏でピッキングしてる様な感じに） HDMIケーブル接続に変える事でズレがほぼ解消しましたが、音楽演奏もする自分としては少し気になるレベルのズレがあります。 グルーヴに効いてくるのでちょっと痛いですね、なにか解消する方法はないのでしょうか？ いろいろ書きましたが、総合的に見て良作品ではないでしょうか。

Excelente. Muy buen envío de un muy buen disco

Fan inconditionnel de NIRVANA depuis "nevermind" , quel plaisir pour moi de retrouver le trio le plus important du rock des années 90 à travers ce concert qui fêtera ses 27 ans le 31 octobre prochain. Ce concert est cours , 70 minutes à peine, mais quelle énergie! Les titres s'enchaînent devant un public conquis, kurt est d'excellente humeur, krist pieds nus, et dave frappe comme un sourd sur sa batterie. Il n'y a pas un instant d'ennuis, tout est parfait. à noter la version de " rape me" bien différente de celle qui finira sur "in utero", et la destruction du matos en guise de final punk à souhait. Franchement le rock d'aujourd'hui est d'une telle tristesse, que je savoure mieux le fait de m'accrocher à ces années qui me renvoient à tant de bons et merveilleux souvenirs... En bref, merci NIRVANA pour avoir était le dernier des grands du rock sincère et authentique. à se repasser le 31 pour un halloween grunge!
