    The anthology includes previously unreleased gems, such as five live recordings from 1974 featuring the rare non-album tracks “Bad Boy” and “Garden Road.” Plus, there’s a Vault Edition of “The Trees” with an alternate guitar solo, and the emotional highlight: the band’s final performance with Neil Peart on August 1, 2015, in Los Angeles, featuring a medley of “What You’re Doing / Working Man / Garden Road.”
