Live at the Paramount (The Guess Who album)
Live at the Paramount is a live album released by Canadian rock group The Guess Who in 1972. It was recorded on May 22, 1972 at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington. Live at the Paramount was the first Guess Who album to feature Donnie McDougall on rhythm guitar and the last to feature original bassist Jim Kale.
The album reached #39 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the United States. This was the group's only live album until the reunion in 1983.
