Swallow This Live is the first live album by American glam metal band Poison, released in 1991 through Capitol Records.

Production and Marketing

The album mostly features live tracks from Poison's first 3 studio albums, recorded in Orlando, Florida during the band's "Flesh & Blood" tour. It also contains four new studio tracks, which were the last recorded before guitarist C. C. DeVille departed from the band later that year. One track, So Tell Me Why, was released as a single and reached #25 in the United Kingdom in November 1991 but didn't chart in the US.
