Notes:
- This recording was made by well-known, legendary taper Mike Millard, and is likely the only time he ever recorded Rush.
- Old bootleg versions incorrectly date this recording for June 16, however contemporary historical documentation verifies the performance to have occured on June 12.
- The recommended version of this recording is a direct transfer of Mike's original master tapes, which was recently released for the very first time in September 2026. Please note that the older version entitled "Anaheim 1981 Master" is a misnomer, as Mike's master tapes for this concert had been assumed long lost until discovered during the last few years. Previously, the 1st gen copy released by JEMS in 2019 was presumed to be the best source that we'd ever have of this show.
- Neil can be heard playing a unique alternative drum beat during the first keyboard section of Tom Sawyer.
