• 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:
Old bootleg releases of this recording reference the date to be 5 December 1974 (no performance on this date), but official tour listings seem to date it for 22 December 1974.
This soundboard recording was broadcast live on FM radio, while Rush performed in front of a very small audience at Electric Lady Studios, hence Geddy's quiet speaking voice.
Originally recorded and broadcast by WQIV FM radio in 1974.
This recording features an early live version of Fly By Night with alternate lyrics and arrangement, as well as an early live version of Anthem.
Alex's solo during Working Man features early segments of By-Tor And The Snow Dog.

YouTube:

For some reason YouTube falsely flags Anthem as the studio version, therefore blocks this particular recording from being viewed in all countries besides Canada.
You can still view the video if you use a Canadian VPN, or alternatively view the edited version here which omits Anthem.
