The Digital Dan:

 Taken from a lower gen source and remastered for a brighter, fuller sound. The result is a better sounding show than By-Tor '74, a great production in its own right. The highs are definitely more pronounced and clearer at the cost of more hiss. But the balance between the highs and hiss is pretty good. Sounds great cranked up loud on the stereo. The small intimate studio setting of this performance really makes it sound as if the band is performing in your living room. Kind of like a public rehearsal. Recommended for any serious Rush fan. Special thanks to Nelson for graciously donating the source used for this production. As with all Digital Reproductions releases, this is for free trade or blank media trade only. Not to be bought or sold. Keep the spirit of trading alive and well.

Taken from Ron's ROIO Rush Review:

This show was originally performed for FM radio broadcast a couple months prior to the release of "Fly By Night." Neil has only been with the band for a few months at this point, but the playing is tight and precise. The FBN songs are still coming together, so some songs, most notably "Best I Can" contain some alternate lyrics. The structure of "Fly By Night" is different, with the guitar solo coming after the vocal bridge and a completely different ending. We get a rare treat in "Working Man," when Alex delivers a guitar solo outside of the normal structure of the song. "Bad Boy" is introduced as a Beatles song, although it was originally written by Larry Williams (I don’t remember the Beatles ever doing this one, actually). It’s amusing to hear the polite clapping of what sounds like about five or ten folks in the studio. Geddy’s soft-spoken comments in between songs is a sharp contrast to the very hard-edged performance. An excellent pseudo- audience show. Apparently, several mikes were set up around the studio, with only a very basic soundboard feed. The result is a very well-mixed sound -- at times, you can almost imagine that you’re listening to the "Rush" album.
