It is not the first time that I say this (probably not the last time either) but, with a very few exceptions, I'm not a huge fan of live albums, that is because the songs almost never sound interestingly different to the studio versions so I rather listen to the original album and this is not an exception.

This album was both recorded and published in 1976, right after "2112" (which was the main plate on the table) and it features songs from RUSH's first four albums; LEE, LIFESON, and PEART were in their better days and of course, the energy on stage is almost palpable but with a lack of improvisation these performances sound just the same as the studio versions and that makes the album only entertaining but not at all indispensable.
