Greatest Hits Vol. III is the first studio album by progressive rock band Umphrey's McGee, recorded and released in 1998 just six months after the band's formation. This is the only album to feature the original four-man lineup of the band. The album was recorded in just one day in preparation for an upcoming performance. Bandleader Brendan Bayliss says the album was rushed because it was much easier to book concerts with an official album. The album has long been out of print, and has sold on eBay for thousands of dollars over the years since the band's surge in popularity.
