Rush: A Show of Hands (1989)
A great time capsule
A Show Of Hands is a great snapshot of the band at their best as the 80's wrapped up. If you can find the laser disc make sure you watch it before you buy it. The copy I have is inferior to the VHS as it was a bad pressing and doesn't track very well. When it does work the sound and picture are great. If you can only find the VHS grab it. Don't hold out for the laser disc. Like all great RUSH shows this one features a fabulous audience that feeds the band and makes them play harder as the show goes on. Neil's drum solo is fantastic, as always. It's a shame this one hasn't been transferred to DVD but I suspect that's because this video was released by a different label than the one the band is currently with. If you really want to see the band at their very best just watch Rush in Rio. Still, A Show Of Hands is a must have for all die-hard fans.
