According to a posting on the RUSH fan site RushIsABand.com, Left Field Media will release a CD of the WMMS radio broadcast of RUSH's August 26, 1974 concert at the Cleveland Agora under the title "Rush ABC 1974". Due in the U.K. on October 24, this broadcast has been available as a bootleg for many years, but this seems to be the first legal release. This was RUSH's first recorded performance in the U.S. to feature Neil Peart on drums. Donna Halper, a former music director at Cleveland's WMMS-FM who was among the first to champion the enduring band's 1974 self-titled debut album, introduced the band.
