Notes

This is one of those shows that makes you glad to be a Rush collector, and proves that even after nearly 30 years, there are still gems to be unearthed out  there. This show came to me in March of 2005. Of course, it’s one thing to discover a new AFTK show, still another to find one from so early in the tour, and yet another to find out that it has the best sound of any show from the tour.

To really cap things off, this show has a unique feel to it. The band seems to be in a really upbeat mood tonight, which translates to a loose performance with
a lot of joking around by Geddy. The sound is exceptionally clear for a 1977
audience recording. As a matter of fact, why even qualify that last statement?
This recording easily holds it’s own with some of the better audience recordings
of nearly ANY era.

This was reported to me as sourced from a 1st gen tape.

As with the other volumes of these releases, the goal is 100% preservation.
This means that I have done nothing to alter the sound of this recording, and
I'm passing it on exactly as it came to me. With that in mind, I don’t care
where you torrent it or what you do with it. (Anyone who cares enough whether
they have a lossless copy is going to be smart enough to be able to figure out
whether they have a lossless copy).

Special thanks as always to Dan Eckert for the artwork.
