Video description

This concert was recorded and filmed for the Exit Stage Left video and album. Some parts of it that are of interest are The Camera Eye, which is cut because only part of it was used in the opening scene of the Exit Stage Left video. The drum solo during YYZ I was able to find a few parts of, mostly during the end credits. However, the reason why the audio doesn’t fit with the video in the second clip of it is because that part after the famous cowbell section was replaced by another part, overdubbed by Neil when they were re-recording parts for the live album. There's about 3 minutes of unknown footage at the end.

Songs missing:

• 2112: Overture
• 2112: The Temples Of Syrinx
• Hemispheres: Prelude
• Beneath, Between, & Behind
• Natural Science
• Working Man
• Hemispheres: Armageddon
