4.0 out of 5 stars Great to see Rush live, January 29, 2000

By A Customer

It's always good to see a live Rush video, but this video's production could have been a lot better. The way it was filmed kind of makes me dizzy at times. It almost looks like it was filmed with hand-held cameras. The video is only 90 minutes, so they left off a lot of songs like Mystic Rhythms, Red Lenses, Subdivisions, and Limelight, which were all performed during that tour. On the other hand, it contains a lot of songs that were left off the cd, like Prime Mover, YYZ, La Villa Strangiato, The Spirit Of Radio, and Tom Sawyer. This video would have been better if it was the entire concert and if they used better cameras, but nontheless, any true Rush fan, like myself, will still appreciate this video. Let's just hope the Different Stages video will look a little better. (if it ever gets released)

5.0 out of 5 stars The musically-technical genius of Rush live for all to see, September 30, 1999

By A Customer

There is no band as brilliant as Rush, and no video that displays the complex style of Rush like A Show of Hands. Though they skip many of the great songs from the first 5 or 6 albums, they do play the likes of Tom Sawyer, Spirit of Radio, La Villa Strangiato, 2112, The Big Money, In The Mood, and -- the "Flight of the Bumblebee" of rock song instrumentals -- YYZ. Rush's musical genius is obvious as you watch Geddy play bass and synthasizers at the same time, Alex do it on the guitar and foot organ, and Neil do a drum solo the likes of which haven't been seen since Ginger Baker. This is one concert video no rock fan should miss.

This review is from: A Show of Hands (DVD)

It has recently been announced and confirmed by Anthem that this and other Rush videos will be legitimately released on DVD this fall and early next year. They include a concert from the R30 tour filmed in Germany, Exit...Stage Left, Grace Under Pressure, and A Show of Hands. Hold on to your money and stay tuned...
