Wow! I have this in audio-only form that was of unknown origin at the time I downloaded it. Glad to finally know where it comes from. I absolutely love the Geddy-only Subdivisions starting at 1:35; would love to have a version like that of the whole song.

A higher quality version of the Soundcheck was uploaded by the Taper recently. One thing I found interesting was that on the master tape, there's some tape bleed at 0:45 seconds. The Taper (William G) taped over a different show for Rush lol. You can see a small cut in this 2nd gen copy where the tape bleed happens at 0:35. Here's the copy from the Master Tape.

Thanks! I have replaced the video with this.
