Listening cold, I'd have NEVER guessed this is by BTO.

Taking care of Business was alright but a bit monotonous

He was a fine jazz player, which is obvious in this song.
Here's another example of his niftiness.

Sidelined them a bit. It became a hit so that became their genre.

We saw BTO open for Van Halen.
On TCOB, Randy played an extended solo. I could tell by the audience response that nobody was there to hear him play lead. They were there to hear Eddie play lead.
Randy played ok, but he wasn't Eddie.
