Rush - Paramount Northwest Theatre, Seattle, WA 1976

The connection to my previous post is Seattle, the northernmost major city on the mainland of the United States. 

This was originally recorded by KZOK FM radio for broadcast on 20 April 1976 and is one of only two known shows recorded from the 2112 tour.
