- TriviaWhen the band starts playing "La Villa Strangiato", Alex says things into the microphone that are mockingly censored on the video. The band's explanation for this "joke" is that Alex simply jabbered into the microphone (as he does, uncensored, on later concert videos), and his voice was not recorded. The "censored" warnings on-screen were a manufactured aspect of the joke. The band laments that viewers often don't get the joke.
- GoofsThough presented as a single concert, evidence of multiple shows spliced together can be seen at the beginning of the encore: During the opening to "2112", Alex Lifeson's guitar can be seen to change back and forth from a black one to a white one, between wide shots and close-ups.
- Alternate versionsThe Laserdisc version also contains "Lock and Key", an additional song not included on the VHS or DVD versions.

Featured review
One of the BEST Shows Yet
A stunning performance from the worlds greatest rock group. A show of hands is a visually stunning performance showing Rush at there very best.
The three stooges music introduce the show with the band flying (falling??) onto the stage as an abstract art form of themselves, after this slightly surreal opening the show kicks off with The Big Money.
Tracks include The Spirit of Radio, The Big Money, Closer to the Heart and many others, if you have not seen it yet you are reallying missing out.
All in all a fantastic performance and DVD.
