Show is a live album released in 1993 by the British alternative rock band The Cure. It was recorded live over two nights at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Auburn Hills, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit) in 1992, during the successful Wish tour. Show was also released as a concert video.

This live album was released along with Paris, which was recorded in Paris. Show leaned somewhat more towards the band's poppier and more recent material such as "Just Like Heaven", "Pictures of You" and "Friday I'm in Love" while Paris skewed towards their older cult-classics.

The album was re-issued on vinyl as a double LP in the UK as part of Record Store Day on 22 April 2023. This release was remastered by Robert Smith and Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.[5]
