Mercury continue to milk the Rush back catalogue but this time it's worthwhile. This one snuck up out of nowhere! This CD was previously included in the 3 DVD boxset "Rush Replay X 3" from 2006. It's an excellent live recording and a former King Biscuit Show.

I highly doubt it is expanded, but the truncated set list is:

1. Intro - Grace Under Pressure 0:57
2. The Spirit Of Radio 4:54
3. The Enemy Within 4:48
4. The Weapon 7:42
5. Witch Hunt 4:41
6. New World Man 3:59
7. Distant Early Warning 6:11
8. Red Sector "A" 5:22
9. Closer To The Heart 3:35
10. Medley: YYZ / Temples Of Syrinx / Tom Sawyer 9:41
11. Vital Signs 4:56
12. Medley: Finding My Way / In The Mood 3:35

Still well worthwhile and it's reasonably priced. I'll get it even though I have it in the boxset-the disc has no case or cover, so I figure why not? i saw this tour in Philly in 1984 with Y&T opening and it was one of the finest Rush shows I've seen (and I've seen 19). Songs I know are missing include Subdivisions, Red Lenses, Kid Gloves, The Body Electric, Between The Wheels and I forget what else they played-a full show would be awesome, but this is a nice treat.

Very cool. I've only seen Rush once, and it was on this tour.

I guess it makes sense to release this on it's own as the 3 DVD's got the same treatment after the box was released.
