"Mystic Rhythms" and "Witch Hunt" were however recorded in East Rutherford, New Jersey, during the 1986 "Power Windows" (1985) tour. Most of the material on "A Show of Hands" was recorded during the 1988 tour supporting "Hold Your Fire" (1987) in both the US and in England. A video featuring the same title as this live album was released in February 1989, but features completely different recordings and a tracklist which varies from the tracklist of this release. Rush had already covered the pre-1982 era of their career on the 1976 "All the World's a Stage" and 1981 "Exit.Stage Left" live albums, so the tracklist makes perfect sense. The track selection on the album predominantly represents the four studio albums released in the years 1982 - 1987: "Signals" (1982), "Grace Under Pressure" (1984), "Power Windows" (1985), and "Hold Your Fire" (1987) with only "Witch Hunt (Part III of Fear)" and "Closer To The Heart" being excursions into the earlier part of the band´s discography. The album was released through Anthem Records/Vertigo Records in January 1989. "A Show of Hands" is a live double album release (double vinyl/single CD) by Canadian progressive rock act Rush.
