Biography

With more than 40 million records sold worldwide and countless sold-out tours, Rush – Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart – is not only one of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock history, but remains one of the most popular. The RIAA has certified Rush for the third most consecutive gold/platinum studio albums by a rock band, topped only by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.… Read more in Amazon's Rush Store

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic live as usual., 25 Sep 2010
By 
Mr Blackwell (scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: A Show of Hands (Audio CD)
I originally bought this with a certain amount of trepidation,i'd felt the three previous albums had been not as exciting as Moving Pictures/Signals and that it was recorded on the tour supporting my least favourite Rush album(at the time) really caused concern,I shouldnt have worried,its damn near flawless.

Essentially a best of the the mid 80's era ,this combines most of the best tracks,whilst a couple notably those from HOLD YOUR FIRE have improved in the live arena,Alex Lifeson on fire,more evident than on album.

From the moment the disc finishes you just want to put it on again.Highpoints the opener 'Big Money','Subdivisions',Time Stand Still' & 'Closer To The Heart'.

The DVD is even better with some archive tracks such as Temples of Syrinx/La Villa.. plus live favs 'Spirit Of Radio' & 'Tom Sawyer'

5.0 out of 5 stars Was Their Best Live Album For A Long Time, 15 Feb 2011
By 
Lucioperca (Norwich, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Show of Hands (Audio CD)
Most live Rush albums are a lesser product compared to their srudio work and until the epic 'Rock In Rio' album appeared I would have to say this was the best live Rush recording available. I have seen Rush live on countless occasions and this really captures the live sound better than previous attempts. Technically Rush come close to studio perfection in their live performances but there is enough variation and adaptation in their music to make these live recordings worth owning. If you went to see Rush on the UK leg of the Hold Your Fire tour when this album was recorded then it will also hold some nostalgic memories for you.

Its a great bunch of hi-tempo Rush tracks, it captures the energy of the Hold Your Fire tour and is very much worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars a trip down memory lane, 26 Oct 2000
By 
This review is from: A Show of Hands (Audio CD)
It's not easy to review this album without the odd pang of nostalgia as I was fortunate enough to attend the concert at the Birmingham NEC back in '89 where much of this live compilation was recorded - the whole concert was also filmed for the video release of the same title.

Arguably some of the tracks chosen to represent the 'Show of Hands' tour were not in theory the strongest studio songs ( Big Money , Mystic Rhythms) and the tour followed on from the release of ' Hold Your Fire ' (which was criticised by some fanatics as having less than great production values ) when played live the very same songs were transformed into a raw sound which perhaps revealed the songs to be better than the studio sessions suggested.

I was literally blown away by the power of such tracks as 'Subdivisions' and ' Marathon' along with the classic ' Witch Hunt' and 'Closer To The Heart'.

Where the guitar influences of Alex lifeson had been strangely subdued in the studio here the lexmeister was in his element pounding out all forms of riffs at a satisfyingly loud volume. As ever the bass and drums of geddy lee and neil peart complement these to near perfection.

Years of playing together as Rush allow the trio to produce an incredibly tight performance on all the tracks.

The album also features an extended solo by Peart - often such antics allow a quick interlude for the listener to slip away elsewhere - but in the hands of Peart the 'Rhythm Method' sets the standard for others to follow . A true master of his craft.

The vocals and keyboards are provided by Lee in his customary clear and concise ( if slightly soprano ) voice.

The album fittingly ends with the aforementioned all-time classic 'Closer To The Heart'.

Finally let me quote Neil Peart in his preface to the two night NEC performance :

'But for these two nights the gods smile'.

I for one won't argue with that.
