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 TheatreinSeattle, 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. It also includes performances of three exclusive songs not included on any of their studio albums: "Glace Bay Blues," "Runnin' Back to Saskatoon," and "Truckin' Off Across the Sky."

The album reached #39 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the United States.^[3] This was the group's only live album until the 'classic lineup' reunion in 1983 (resulting in the album Together Again, released the following year).

The 2000 re-release on Compact Disc was remixed and added six bonus tracks from the same concert which did not fit on LP. Four tracks from the show remain unreleased: "Get Your Ribbons On" (the original show opener); "Heartbroken Bopper"; "Guns, Guns, Guns"; and "Follow Your Daughter Home".
