Notes:
- Old bootleg releases of this recording reference the date to be December 5th 1974, however pieces of evidence indicate that date is indisputably wrong. The easiest quick explanation is that during the December 16th Cleveland recording, Geddy states that show being the very first time playing Fly By Night live, therefore this NYC recording clearly happened later.
- This soundboard recording was broadcast live on 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.
- Early pieces of By-Tor And The Snow Dog can be heard during the middle section of Working Man, as usual for 1974 shows with Neil.
