A Show of Hands is a live album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1989. The band released a video of the same name, originally on VHS and laserdisc in 1989. A DVD version was released as part of a box set in 2006, and as an individual DVD in 2007. The title of this release is taken from a line on the Hold Your Fire track Prime Mover: "alternating currents force a show of hands".
The album was recorded in Birmingham (UK), New Orleans, Phoenix, and San Diego during the 1988 Hold Your Fire tour as well as in the Meadowlands (East Rutherford, NJ) during the 1986 Power Windows tour. The opening track "Intro" features the Three Stooges theme song playing in the background; the band used this jingle to open many of their concerts during the 1980s.
All songs written by Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart, except where noted.
