This pre-FM source has no commercials or voice-overs and is superior to all other versions of this show. No EQ or other processing was used on this source. (2003-01-04)

A great early Rush show. Raw, live and loud. Classic 70's hard rock. According to all information I have seen this is from the FM Radio Broadcast however it is pre-Broadcast. This means no voice-overs or introductions just the live show. It also means no compression or other radio processing. It is just the high-energy, raw, live and loud, rockin', hard rock show. It rocks !
Great versions of these early songs, a cover song, Bad Boy which Geddy introduces as, "a song that the Beatles did a few years ago, a song written by Mr. Larry Williams, this is called Bad Boy". Geddy also introduces Fly By Night by saying in will be on their next album and that it was a song they just wrote a couple weeks ago. Wow. I just think about how old that song is today and here Geddy is saying they just wrote the song.
A stereo recording, sometimes you can even hear the guitars fade from one channel to the other (left to right I believe) if you are listening with headphones. (2003-01-04)
