Notes
An item from each of the previous nine album covers can be seen on the cover of this live album. The owl from Fly by Night flies above the man in the suit (Apollo) from Hemispheres, who stands next to the woman from Permanent Waves. The puppet king from A Farewell To Kings sits atop a box stenciled with the "Rush" logo from Rush. Next to him is a painting of the album cover from Caress of Steel, held by one of the movers from Moving Pictures, with another mover standing behind. Next to this is the nude man from Hemispheres (Dionysus). Behind this scene, the starman from 2112 hangs in the background, next to an "EXIT" sign. This entire scene is on the left side of the stage, thus "Exit...Stage Left".
