The Canadian power trio Rush will celebrate their 40 year legacy, with the box-set R40 that spans the bands entire career.

Rolling Stone reports that the set, R40, features 10 DVDs or six Blu-ray discs, and is set for release on Nov. 11. It features five full-length concert videos, as well as a bonus disc with previously-unreleased material. A 52-page hardback book, including live photos and pictures of memorabilia throughout the band's career, is also included in the package.

Titles featured as part of the set include 2003's Rush in Rio, 2005's R30, 2008's Snakes & Arrows Live, 2011's Time Machine 2011: Time in Cleveland and 2013's Clockwork Angels Tour.

The bonus disc of unreleased material will be of most interest to the band's hardcore fans: it features two hours of footage from the group's earlier years, including a full, eight-song set from a 1974 show at a school in Ontario with original drummer John Rutsey. During that show, the trio played three never-before-released songs –- the Rush originals "I've Been Runnin'" and "The Loser," as well as a cover of Larry Williams' "Bad Boy" -- and eventual classics like "Best I Can" and "Working Man."

Other goodies in the bonus DVD include five songs from a 1976 concert in Passaic, New Jersey, a performance of "Lock and Key" from the group's 1988 Hold Your Fire tour, and eight songs from a 1997 show in Toronto during which they ran through all seven parts of their 1976 suite "2112." Rounding out the package is footage of Rush's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, during which they performed "2112" with Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins.
