Nirvana: Live At The Paramount

Overview

Seminal '90s grunge band Nirvana's album Nevermind turns 20 this year. You might have heard about it. It was kind of a big deal.

Nirvana are widely recognised to be one of the most important bands to emerge over the past couple of decades. Even though I was a kid when they were playing I still remember them very fondly, and have vivid memories of my mother weeping when she heard that Kurt Cobain had died. For that reason, Nirvana only ever made it out to Australia once. But for everyone who was either too young or too slow in getting tickets twenty years ago, CinemaLive are here to help.

To celebrate Nevermind's 20th anniversary, Australia's largest network of satellite-linked cinemas will be presenting a one-off screening of the never before seen Live At The Paramount. Recorded at  Seattle's Paramount Theatre, the concert marked Nirvana's first big homecoming show in the midst of the hype surrounding Nevermind, and has since become the only known live Nirvana concert ever recorded on film. Hosted by triple j's Richard Kingsmill, this will be the first and only screening of the film in Australia. The event also launches CinemaLive's Set List program which will beam live music events to cinemas around Australia.

Tickets will set you back $35 and also include a 20th anniversary deluxe edition of Nevermind featuring 40 tracks, including rarities, studio out-takes and live recordings. Screenings will take place all over the city at nineteen different cinemas.
