On this day, January 9, 1989, Rush released their third live album, A Show of Hands. Capturing performances from their Power Windows and Hold Your Fire tours, the album showcases the band’s dynamic energy and musical mastery during the late 80s.

The album includes fan favorites like The Big Money, Subdivisions, and Closer to the Heart, while also featuring deeper cuts like Mission and Marathon. Peaking at #21 on the Billboard 200, A Show of Hands demonstrated the enduring popularity of Rush’s unique blend of progressive rock and synth-driven sound.

Fun Fact: A Show of Hands was also released as a concert film, allowing fans to experience Rush’s live show visuals, including their intricate stage setups and charismatic performances.
