Rush, live at the Agora Ballroom, Cleveland Ohio on 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.
