Notes:

  • This is the first concert of the Power Windows tour.
  • During the Power Windows tour, The Weapon was only played during the first two dates, making this recording very significant.
  • This recording is incomplete, and is missing Witch Hunt, YYZ, Neil's drum solo, Red Lenses, Tom Sawyer, 2112, Grand Designs, and In The Mood.
  • While some people suggest Witch Hunt was not added until the second show of the Power Windows tour, there is no evidence to suggest it wasn't played, since the only recording of this night is incomplete, missing the latter half which would've featured it. While possible, logically it doesn't make much sense for them to drop the song for the opening night of the new tour, only to bring it back the day after. I think the confusion stems from the fact Witch Hunt was played much later in the set during the first six shows of the tour, and a couple CD bootlegs of these six shows incorrectly move Witch Hunt to the earlier placement it would commonly be seen at during most of tour.
