The second disc includes interviews and rarities that are about as cool as the show itself. The conversations with the band are amazing as they truly display the various faces and styles of Rush (literally) as time has passed. The first documented interview on the disc simply spotlights a young Geddy Lee responding to queries next to a makeshift loading ramp at Ivor Wynne Stadium in 1979. The funniest portion of the dialogue comes when Geddy is asked about the reported 1.1 million that Fleetwood Mac had recently spent in the recording studio. Lee’s response?

“You’d have to be pretty bad to spend that much money.”

Not an unfair assumption.

It's even more ridiculous considering how "rough" many of the songs on Tusk sound. And that's not a complaint, I love the production on Tusk, but half the album sounds like it ought to have cost no more than a few thousand bucks to put together.
