Has anyone bought it and if so do you have severe sync problems like me.

    I have the DVD version, haven't noticed anything. I read about this in a few places. Is it only the Blu-ray with this problem. Any specific examples...

    I caught it on vh1 and I noticed it. Not on every song, but the audio is a fraction of a second ahead of the video on most.

    Hmm... I had this problem ironically enough with the Nirvana Live at Reading DVD.

    I had to change the Audio settings in the options menu to fix it.

    That may help with live at paramount as well.

    I have Live at Paramount on blu ray as well... I'll give it a listen after the ball game and let you know if I experience the same problem.

    It's a far better show than Reading, if that helps.

    Firslty, I think the show itself is absolutely awesome... true raw power from the band, playing in a small-ish venue before it all went nuts. This is the Nirvana I love. I also love the way it was filmed, so indie, it suits the band and the occasion so well, plus it looks stunning in HD. My only tiny gripe is that they didn't play an early version of Pennyroyal Tea which I love from their 1991 shows, or the heavy / electric Something in the Way. Also needs to be noted that this show is at the end of a gruelling tour, Kurt especially seems a bit drained, but he puts on a great show.

    Now, the sync problems.... yep, I have them on my bluray and it's very noticeable throughout the whole show. I can correct audio delay on my received so that's fine, but sometimes it fluctuates on the bluray so even then there are parts out of sync. It's a big shame, especially as apparently the DVD is perfect.

    Haven't bought the DVD but attended a screening FILTER Mag hosted last night and loved the show. With all the high tech now, I kind of liked how rudimentary (for today's standards) it was filmed with the crew running around with cameras.

    I'm watching mine right now and it is great. No syncing issues on mine. It looks great and sounds even better. I hope Nirvana keeps releasing shows on bluray in the future. Or DVD. Doesn't matter.

    I have the mp3 of this show, absolutely stunning, amazing, powerful show. A band at the top of their game.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Awesome show.
    Awesome footage.
    No sync issues that I can notice.

    Love the crowd shots, you really get a taste of those times 20 yrs ago, the fashion, the youth having a blast at the show, brilliant. Wish I was there.

    I've been planning on picking this up. I'm happy to hear that some users are reporting no issues. Maybe there was just a bad run...
