RUSH...A Show Of Hands (1989)
"A Show Of Hands" was released 25 years ago this month in 1989. It reached number 21 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. Starting off with the theme from The Three Stooges is brilliant (you know, cuz there are 3 members of Rush). Not the best live Rush album but still pretty amazing. The boys rock, as usual. Live versions of 'Subdivisions,' 'Distant Early Warning' and 'Time Stand Still" are the highlights. Highly recommended. I even played it back to back as I was preparing todays blog
