 Rating: - Rush's weakest sounding live album of the seven availableRush's A Show of Hands was first released in January of 1989. The album was recorded during various stops on the band's Power Windows and Hold Your Fire tours in 1986/87/88. The sound of this live album was worse than 1981's Exit...Stage Left. If you watched the live DVD and compare to this, the mix on the video (and the re-released DVD) was better than on the album and the mix of the album is why it is four stars. The album does have some highlights like "Marathon", "Turn the ... Read More Rating:  - Rush's "Dark Period" of the 80's...LiveThis is part three of a comprehensive four part series of Music Reviews of the Progressive Rock band Rush. When a band has been around as long as RUSH has (30 years), their musical styles will change and evolve, just not always for the best. I group the bands third set of releases into what is known as Rush's "Synthesizer Period". All of these albums came out during the 1980's and represent the band's post-Moving Pictures era. The albums are Signals (1982), Grace Under Pressure (1984), Power Windows ... Read More Rating:  - I just like this live cd !I have read many reviews on this cd, many are two or three stars rating. For me, this live cd is just great. The choice of songs is not perfect but is there a live cd or a best of containing every songs you would have chosen ? Again, I like this cd very much and it is an easy five stars rating for me. Good job Neil, Alex and Geddy ! Rating: - A worthy addition to the live canon...Rush's tradition of releasing a live album after every fourth studio release continues with "A Show of Hands". Unlike the wretched "Exit Stage Left" which was plauged by terrible recording problems, this albums avoids the problems which make "Exit" nearly unlistenable. Unlike "Exit" and the masterful "All the World's A Stage" which present one live show, "A Show of Hands" presents cuts from different concerts and tours. As an attempt to show case different tours, it lacks the cohesion and ... Read More Rating:  - One star for Witch HuntThis is easily the worst Rush album ever made. The versions aren't that bad, the songs just aren't that good. Still I could elevate a rating to 3 1/2 stars if they just had a more even representation of the 4 albums it's supposed to represent. As others have already suggested, the biggest problem is the whole album seems to be Power Windows and Hold Your Fire. Only three songs from Signals and Grace Under Pressure is deplorable. The album is short enough they could've added a couple more ... Read More |
