Among the highlights of this collection are two songs from a pivotal performance in 1974. “The Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, that was a really important headline gig for us,” Lee shared with Classic Rock. “It was a ferocious crowd, it was a hot sweaty gig. I remember the gig really, really well. We weren?t begging for time on someone else?s show. That was our show. And one of the first headline shows with [drummer] Neil [Peart], ever. I?m glad they found some songs from that night.?
