"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.

Recording locations

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.
