RUSH: 'Retrospective 3' Special To Air On VH1 CLASSIC
March 20, 2009According to a posting on the RUSH fan site RushIsABand.com, VH1 Classic will begin airing a one-hour RUSH "Retrospective 3" box set special starting Saturday from 3 to 4 p.m. EST. It will be rebroadcast 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.
RUSH's "Retrospective 3" (Anthem/Atlantic) greatest-hits package sold more than 10,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 47 on The Billboard 200 chart.
The collection — available as both individual CD and two-disc CD/DVD set — 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 3" 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 3" 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.
