Rush's Hold Your Fire Tour was in support of the band's studio album Hold Your Fire. The tour kicked off October 29, 1987 at the Memorial Stadium in St. John's, Newfoundland and culminated on May 5, 1988 at the Schleyerhalle in Stuttgart, Germany.

A concert film was released on videocassette, laserdisc, and DVD that documents a live concert performance by the band on their 1988 Hold Your Fire tour. In 1989, the band released an audio album of the same name on vinyl LP, audiocassette, and compact disc. The video comprises an entirely different recording, and features a different track list.

In 2006, a DVD version of the original production, with its audio re-mastered in 5.1-channel Dolby Surround by Rush guitarist and co-producer Alex Lifeson, was released as part of the DVD box set, titled Rush Replay X 3. In 2007, the DVD version of A Show of Hands, as it was included in Replay X 3, was released as a single, stand-alone DVD.
