Rush - Agora Ballroom - Cleveland, Ohio - 16th December 1974

1974 was a momentous year for Rush, with the release of their debut album, their signing to a major label, the departure of founding drummer John Rutsey, his replacement by Neil Peart and the trio's first US dates.Broadcast on WMMS-FM, this remarkable set includes previews of material from their forthcoming Fly By Night album (including their first ever public performance of the title track), as well as a cover of Larry Williams' classic Bad Boy.It's a vital document of the band at their early best and is presented here with background notes and images.
