Album Notes Rush: Geddy Lee (vocals, bass, keyboards); Alex Lifeson (guitar); Neil Peart (drums, percussion).Continuing a tradition that began more than a decade earlier, Rush follows its 12th (!) studio album with a live one, A SHOW OF HANDS. The album draws almost exclusively from the third chapter of Rush's life, 1982-89, stressing the notion that their newer material was just as important as their classics. By this time they had eschewed the typical guitar trio sound for one that emphasized layers and texture. Amazingly, they were able to reproduce their studio albums live without taking extra musicians on the road or playing along with sequencers. Although they didn't physically play every instrument, every sound heard live was triggered by Geddy, Alex and Neil using whatever appendage was available.A SHOW OF HANDS includes all of Rush's mid-'80s hits: "The Big Money," "Subdivisions," "Distant Early Warning" and "Time Stand Still," which featured 'Til Tuesday's Aimee Mann singing backup on a giant video screen. Also included is "Witch Hunt" from MOVING PICTURES and A FAREWELL TO KINGS' "Closer To the Heart." Of course no Rush concert would be complete without a drum solo, and "The Rhythm Method" shows why Neil Peart is considered one of the best rock drummers ever. | |||||||||||||||
Reviews  Rush - A Show Of Hands CD. My favorite Rush live album!Review created: 23/06/08 by:  This is a personal favorite of mine. For starters, it's a great sounding disc. The balance between band and audience is great, unlike subsequent releases where the crowd was mixed way too loud in my opinion. The song selection is great. Songs from the previous four albums make the bulk of the set list, which is just fine with me since it's my favorite era of Rush. I could have done without yet another live version of Closer To The Heart, but it was just the second time the song had made an appearance at this point. Also, it's just one disc, so the length is just right. Highly recommended. This particular disc is made in the former West Germany. Some seem to think these versions sound better. I don't know about that. The remaster will do just fine, or any other version. Review ID: 10000000007680597 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
