Rush – The Complete 1974 Canadian Bandstand Broadcast (CD)

This is the Holy Grail of live Rush broadcasts! It’s the earliest known live broadcast of the band and is the only known live recording to feature the original line up with John Rutsey on drums. This concert was filmed by CKCO-TV for the “Canadian Bandstand” program and televised on June 1st of 1974. Included is the only known live recording of ‘Before and After’ and a earliest ever known live recording of their cover version of ‘Bad Boy’, described by legendary music journalist Stephen Thomas Erlewine as a “genuine rock & roll classic”. This broadcast also included the only known recordings of non-album Rush tracks, ‘I’ve Been Runnin” and ‘The Loser’.
