Tripping the Live Fantastic: Highlights!
Tripping the Live Fantastic: Highlights! is an abridged version of the double CD/triple LP Tripping the Live Fantastic, also released in 1990.
Cutting out soundcheck recordings and showcasing just the concert highlights, this set is notable for the exclusive inclusion of "All My Trials", not found on Tripping the Live Fantastic or on the US commercial release version (where it was replaced by "Put It There"), it was issued on the Columbia House mail-order Highlights release.
Not charting at all in the UK, Tripping the Live Fantastic: Highlights! reached number 141 in the US on the Billboard 200 and, proving to be a sustained seller, went platinum. The original set peaked at number 26 and failed to go gold.
