Notes:
- Overall this is a listenable show, but not among the better audience recordings of the tour. Definitely not a recording I recommend for someone just getting into the Hemispheres tour. While the quality is listenable, it must be noted that there are significant sound issues with the tape at the end of Hemispheres, which sounds quite awful. Whatever tape issues were going on at the end of Hemispheres does eventually balance back out, however the overall quality thereafter seems somewhat marginally poorer.
- There is one short cut during A Passage To Bangkok, two or three short cuts during Hemispheres, one short cut at the end of La Villa Strangiato, and one short cut during 2112's Overture. None of these short cuts last long enough to be too detracting, but they're still worth noting.
- The most significant cut is that the ending of Neil's drum solo is missing, which would've finished out the concert.
- Geddy's scream at the end of Cygnus X-1, "every nerve is torn apart", is one among several of the wildest recordings I've heard of him delivering those lyrics.
- There's a partially recorded radio interview with Alex that took place on Milwaukee radio preceding this concert.
