Rush's Retrospective III information and track list.

The last two decades haven't been Rush's strongest, but I could've come up with a much better track list. Blargh. From a press release:

Atlantic Records is pleased to announce details of the upcoming third installment in Rush’s continuing compilation series. “RETROSPECTIVE III (1989-2008)” arrives in stores on March 2nd in the UK (and March 3rd in North America) and features music from the rock trio’s last two decades with the label, including tracks taken from the albums - PRESTO (1989), ROLL THE BONES (1991), COUNTERPARTS (1993), TEST FOR ECHO (1996), VAPOR TRAILS (2002), and SNAKES & ARROWS (2007).

RETROSPECITVE III will be released as both a single CD and a 2-Disc CD/DVD set. The CD includes a previously unreleased live version of the song "GHOST OF A CHANCE" recorded in Atlanta during Rush’s 2008 "Snakes & Arrows Tour", plus remixes of the tracks "ONE LITTLE VICTORY" and "EARTHSHIINE".

The “RETROSPECTIVE III” bonus DVD gathers the band’s 10 stunning music videos during the Atlantic years, including clips for fan favourites such as “The Pass,” “Roll The Bones,” “Stick It Out,” “Driven,” and the Grammy Award-nominated “Malignant Narcissism.” The DVD boasts 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 TV performance of the classic “Tom Sawyer” and an interview.
