According to Rushisaband.com, VH1 Classic will begin airing a 1-hour RUSH: Retrospective 3 Box Set special starting Saturday from 3 to 4 PM EST. It will be re-broadcast several times throughout the week. Check your local TV listings for air times. The special will feature new interviews from the band along with several videos from the Retrospective 3 DVD.
Retrospective 3 (1989-2008) is available as both individual CD and two-disc CD/DVD set and features tracks culled from the legendary trio's two decades with Atlantic Records, spanning such acclaimed studio works as 1989's Presto, 1991's Roll The Bones, 1993's Counterparts, 1996's Test For Echo, 2002's Vapor Trails, and 2007's Snakes & Arrows. In addition, Retrospective III features a previously unreleased live version of the classic 'Ghost of a Chance', recorded live in Atlanta during Rush's 2008 Snakes & Arrows Tour, as well as two tracks - 'One Little Victory' and 'Earthshine' - newly remixed by the band's Alex Lifeson and master mixer Richard Chycki (AEROSMITH, MICK JAGGER, P. DIDDY).
The Retrospective III DVD gathers the band's 10 stunning music videos during the Atlantic years, including clips for fan favorites such as 'The Pass,' 'Roll The Bones', 'Stick It Out', 'Driven', and the Grammy Award-nominated 'Malignant Narcissism'. What's more, the DVD includes a trio of live videos filmed in Frankfurt, Germany during Rush's 2004 R30: 30th Anniversary World Tour, highlighted by a masterful performance of THE WHO's classic 'The Seeker' (originally recorded by Rush for 2004's Feedback). As an added bonus, the band has included a rare televised performance of the classic 'Tom Sawyer' and an on-camera interview featuring all three members.
