Notes:​

• This was Rush's very first performance outside of North America.
• These dates near the end of the ATWAS tour mark the first appearances of the entirety of Discovery being performed during 2112, which would carry into the next two tours.
• This recording features an early live version of Xanadu with alternate lyrics, "the miracle of ages coming true".
• This recording also features one of several known rare live recordings of The Necromancer.
• In The End has now been dropped from the setlist, most likely to allow for more time to perform Xanadu which had replaced The Twilight Zone.
• This recording is missing What You're Doing and Best I Can from the last two encores.

Thanks for this, really enjoyed listening to this, an awesome version of By Tor/Necromancer.
First gig in the Uk, and in my hometown of Sheffield. If only i had been there........ , would have loved to see them at the City Hall (small venue) I saw them 10 times live but in large Arena's, this would have been special, if you were there, you were lucky!!
