• May 2023 Update: Many apoligies for the extended period of inactivity, however many big changes for Rush Archives are now in progress. This should benefit everyone, and propel the site onward in the most realistic way possible. Thank you to those who have been supporting this project, and for being patient with the methods I've so far been operating. Further details will be coming soon.

Notes:
This is the second of two consecutive nights Rush played at the Glasgow Apollo during the AFTK tour.
During Bastille Day you can tell that Geddy caught a cold due to his rough voice, something he later mentioned when discussing the official release of the show recorded in London three nights later.
There is a lengthy delay preceding 2112, due to some sort of trouble preparing the prerecorded tape that plays the Overture's synth intro, though 2112 is ultimately performed without it.
A short missing portion of Cygnus X-1 is filled in from a poorer version of this recording, so has a temporary drop in sound quality, though overall is still missing approximately 10 seconds.
This recording is completely missing Anthem, which is not featured on any version of this show.
Despite the couple of cuts, this is an excellent sounding audience recording very much worth listening to, and one of the rarer examples of on-stage oddities/mishaps.
