Notes:

Recorded September 21, 194 at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens.
This is the soundtrack to the Grace Under Pressure Live video, first included as a bonus CD in the Replay X 3 DVD Boxed Set, later released on CD. Both releases include a minature reproduction of the Grace Under Pressure tourbook.
Prior to its release in the Replay X3 boxed set, many of these songs found their way to various Rush singles released during the mid-80's. In fact, every live b-side released during this period was from this source recording!
An exclusive version of this release is included in the Replay X 3 boxed set purchased at Best Buy: it includes four undocumented bonus tracks tacked onto the end, with no mention of the bonus tracks at all other than the Best Buy sticker on the wrapper. The four bonus tracks are: "Limelight" and "Closer To The Heart" (both from the ESL video soundtrack), and "The Spirit Of Radio" and "Tom Sawyer" (both from the ASOH video soundtrack). Three of these tracks were previously unavailable on vinyl or CD; only "Limelight" was previously released, found on King Biscuit Flower Hour's Best of the Best: 25 Years of Rock (live). Note: the bonus version of "Closer To The Heart" was recorded during the Moving Pictures tour, the version found on the ESL album was recorded during the Permanent Waves tour (with the "Glaswegian Chorus"!).
As seen in the tour video, and as explained in the show program, 3D glasses were given to fans attending the Toronto shows of the p/g tour. During the Signals and p/g tours, a video played on the rear screen to introduce "The Weapon", where SCTV's "Count Floyd" (Joe Flaherty) warned it was "a scary song with real special effects" which could only be enjoyed with 3D glasses. Count Floyd was a recurring character on Second City Television (SCTV), a Saturday Night Live style skit-based comedy program which aired from 1976 to 1983. Count Floyd wore a cheap vampire costume, spoke in a bad Transylvanian accent, and pitched horror movies (which were never really scary) on the local station's "Monster Chiller Horror Theater"; often, he would pitch 3D films, and would try to sell 3D glasses which would vary in price from show to show.
