Notes:

  • This is the second of four consecutive nights Rush played at the Hammersmith during the Hemispheres tour.
  • This recording is mostly complete, however the majority of Neil's drum solo was not captured.
  • Circumstances was dropped from the setlist towards the end of the Hemispheres tour for all European dates, which would have been from April 23 and onward.
  • This is a decent audience recording, all instruments are very clear, though the sound can be overwhelming at times. It's not one among the best recordings from the tour, but not one among the weaker recordings either.
