The album was recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto on June 11, 12, and 13, 1976, during the band's breakthrough '' 2112'' tour.

However, due to technological limits of approximately 20 minutes per side on vinyl, the positions of "Lakeside Park" and "2112" were swapped with "Fly By Night / In The Mood" and "Something For Nothing".
