Anywhere but Home is the first live album and concert DVD release by American rock band Evanescence. It was released on November 23, 2004, by Wind-up Records. It includes a recording of a concert at Le Zénith in Paris, an hour of behind the scenes footage, three previously unreleased songs, and all four of the Fallen music videos.

Anywhere but Home was filmed during Evanescence's concert at Le Zénith in Paris on May 25, 2004. The concert was part of the tour in support of their debut album Fallen (2003). Every song from the album except "Hello" was performed at the show.

Three new songs were released on Anywhere but Home: "Missing", "Breathe No More" (a studio version of the song was later featured on the soundtrack to the 2005 film Elektra), and "Farther Away". While placed at the end of the disc, the CD insert shows "Missing" as track eight but it is actually track 14 and incorrectly labeled "Whisper".

A performance of "Bring Me to Life" from the 2003 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas can be found on the DVD's main menu by moving the cursor to the largest thorn on the left-hand side of the screen. The band symbol then becomes visible. When selected, this will take the user to the footage.

In December 2004, a couple in Maryland who had bought the album for their daughter, filed a class action lawsuit against Wal-Mart after hearing the word "fuck" sung during "Thoughtless", a cover of a Korn song. The lawsuit claimed that while the album contained this explicit word, there was no Parental Advisory sticker on the package. It also claimed that the album violated Wal-Mart's policy of not stocking music with explicit lyrics, and that the company had to be aware of the problem because the word was dubbed out of a free sample on the Walmart.com website.
