It's on the back side of "2112" (for those of us who remember vinyl) and doesn't get as many plays as it should in my rotation, because I have to be in a certain mood to play "2112". The CD I have could use a re-master. It's pretty muddy.
Playing it, I get the impression that Rush is to their era what Cream was to their era:

Mines is an audiophile series, virgin vinyl pressing from 'West' Germany. Sounds perfect.
My guess is that it was pressed in the early 1980s.
There is a Compact Disc pressing by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs.
There 7 for sale on ebay right now but they are not cheap.

I don't know.
Really?I'm kinda surprised. That's actor/promoter Bill Graham,who is very popular in SF.Famous for operating the Fillmore West and East and Winterland concert halls.Every rocker of the '60's wanted to play and record they're music like Humble Pie,Jimi Hendrix and Joe Cocker

I was never a fan of him. Bill Graham had a grudge against the band Rush and didn't want to promote them at all. Well aware of his name and his auditorium but had no idea what he looked like.

I'd add to that list The Allman Brothers and The Grateful Dead, both who have 'live at Fillmore' albums. The Dead was the act that closed Fillmore East, and the album from that three-night stand is awesome.
