The film was released as a VHS video on 29 September 1997 by Sony Music Video, and the full concert was later released on DVD as part of the Everything Must Go 20th Anniversary Edition reissue. Everything Live was directed by Dick Carruthers. The first 12,000 copies came with five postcards featuring photographs of the band by their official photographer Mitch Ikeda.
