This is the Holy Grail of live Rush broadcasts. It is the earliest known live broadcast of Rush and is the only known live recording to feature the original line up with founding member, John Rutsey (July 23rd 1952 – May 11th 2008) on drums. This concert was filmed by CKCO-TV for the "Canadian Bandstand" program and televised on June 1st of 1974.

This is also the only known live recording of “Before and After” and an earliest ever known live recording of their cover version of “Bad Boy”, described by legendary music journalist Stephen Thomas Erlewine as a "genuine rock & roll classic" and notes its popularity among 1960’s British Invasion groups, such as the Beatles.

Also featuring the only known live recordings of non-album Rush songs, “I've Been Runnin'” and “The Loser”.
