Originally, Grace Under Pressure Tour was released in video format on Betamax and VHS in 1986. The LaserDisc was released in 1988. The video was then remastered in surround-sound (5.1) for the 2006 Rush Replay X 3 DVD box set, which includes a bonus CD containing the entire audio portion.

The 2006 initial release of Rush Replay X 3 was a limited-edition item sold by Best Buy only. The CD included with this version contains four bonus tracks not found on subsequent releases of the box set: "Limelight" and "Closer to the Heart" from the Exit...Stage Left video, and "The Spirit of Radio" and "Tom Sawyer" from the A Show of Hands video.

The Grace Under Pressure Tour CD received a standalone release on August 11, 2009. It features the same cover art as the 1984 studio album Grace Under Pressure, but with "1984 Tour" written in the bottom left hand corner. Like the DVD version, the CD includes a reproduction of the original tour book.
