A Show of Hands is a concert film released on videocassette, laserdisc, and DVD by the Canadian hard rock band Rush. It 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.

The videocassette and laserdisc versions were the original formats of release, both in 1989. They are both currently out-of-print.
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.
The concert footage documented in A Show of Hands was filmed in Birmingham, UK.[2]
† The DVD does not list "YYZ" in the track listing and groups it together with the song "Territories".
Note: The DVD version of A Show of Hands contains the full program of the VHS version; "Lock And Key" appeared on the laserdisc version of A Show of Hands, but does not appear on the DVD or VHS versions.
