UPDATE - 10/30@11:07AM: Here's an interview (transcribed by Eric from the Power Windows site) with Geddy Lee from the November 21, 1981 issue of Sounds magazine conducted by Geoff Barton where Geddy discusses the Exit ... Stage Left album.

Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of Rush's 2nd live album Exit ... Stage Left. The album was recorded on June 10-11, 1980 at The Apollo in Glasgow, Scotland; and March 27, 1981 at The Forum in Montreal on the Moving Pictures tour. A companion video - Rush's first concert video - was released the following year on VHS and Laserdisc. The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA on November 9, 1987 and peaked at #10 on the Billboard album charts. Also released on October 29th were Hemispheres in 1978 and Power Windows in 1985. All three albums will be available as part of the Sector Box Sets due to release on November 21st. In celebration of the anniversary here's video of the By-Tor/In The End/In The Mood/2112 medley from the Exit ... Stage Left concert video (NOTE: these tracks only appeared on the video, not the album):
