Rush - Wipeout/Limelight 5-18-1981

From the ROIO "Picture This", recorded on May 18, 1981 at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York.
I believe that this was Rush's first-ever performance at MSG, and the band adds an impromptu performance of "Wipe Out" before performing "Limelight.

Hey Kev, It was my first of 50 Rush Concerts that night, as well as my first Date at 14yrs old. Everyone remembers the firecrackers my stoner friends lit off after the first two chords of the opener- 2112 overture!!!!!!!

I was at 4/26/81 in Tulsa, OK. Similar intro (Wipeout), no opening act. Geddy claimed Max Webster's bus went to Wichita Falls, TX or some such destination.
