THE BUSINESS TRIP (1994)

A live album, to which I can only offer the same comment made on Live 79 and Palace and California: what's the point?

I was a bit surprised at how full the three-piece sounded live, until Brock made a comment about "If I can only get this tape going" at the beginning of crowd-pleaser "Right to Decide."

A retitled version of the mighty "Iron Dream" appears here, but King's song writing credit is gone. Bastards!

They also wiped Turner's credit from their version of "You Shouldn't Do That", which is nefarious but stomachable since Turner is a champion credit revisionist himself.

Pretty much every tour that's followed this one has been documented with a live album, but as studio albums become fewer and further between, they feel less and less canonical and more and more commercial, so we just won't bother reviewing them anymore, if that's alright by you, Guv. Just give 'em all a BLANGA score of 4 and move on to the next studio disc.

BLANGA SCORE: 3.
