"When I was first informed about this fifteen track CD release,I was wrongfully told that it would be a disc full of remixed tracks by the band's later '70's-early '80's repertoire.That was,of course WAY off.Turns out to be another live effort that's got at least three new/unreleased tunes.My favorites are the two Bob Clavert gems "Quark,Strangeness And Charm" and "Right Stuff" as well as "LSD" and "Green Finned Demon".From l992's 'Electric Teepee' CD,there's the previously mentioned "LSD" and the '90's Hawk classic "Right To Decide".The new(er) tunes include "The Day A Wall Came Down","Berlin Axis" and the jamming "The Dream Has Ended".If you listen REAL good,you just may notice some tidbits of vintage Hawkwind claasics like "You Shouldn't Do That" and "You Know You're Only Dreaming".As for a live album goes,'The Business Trip' is pretty decent.it falls SOMEWHERE between 1973's unbeatable 'Space Ritual' and 'Palace Springs'.Not a bad find."
Killer, killer live Hawkwind
