It stems from the old proggers. To them they wanted Phil and Genesis to keep belting out prog rock tunes forever and saw him as a sell out as he turned pop.
@@nodreb123 And that is exactly correct as i am one of them & i would take all Phils work with Brand X & Genisis as his best playing the rest was music for money. Sad he can't play this way with his back issues as he was one hell of drummer. His talent as an opinion was lost on his commercial efforts even if it did make him famous. That's why he was chastised so much just because it was a talent lost for fame & money. Either way the man is a class act we wanted to hear more of that progressive style.
@@paullevine1813 Phil paid his dues long before he went commercial. I have never understood the stubborn close-mindedness of belly achers when it came to Phil and Genesis. I'm one of the pop song Phil junkies, I suppose, but even so - I grew up woodshedding on progressive music, and the capper is, with Collins -is that he kept prog elements in a great deal of his pop foray.

@@joelalexander4513 I can listen to all of his music and enjoy it. Haters gonna hate, he did what he wanted and did it well. Can't say the same about the haters.
Along with Robin Lumley on keys is the great Peter Robinson, a brilliant player in every respect. My band opened for Brand X in Chicago in 1982, Robinson had the first Prophet V I’d ever seen. I asked him how voices it was, he held up 5 fingers…
Here because I’m just now learning about Phil’s secret life as a drumming superhero. Secret to me, anyway. And what an incredible supergroup this is, too.
@@tiedupsmurf You speak truth. People love to hate on Phil because.. he made the music he did. Me, I love it, but I get that some folks don't like solo Phil. What those people don't understand is just how insanely great Phil was at what he did. Apologies to the Brand X fans - this isn't necessarily my favorite music (I'm a Genesis guy) - but for anyone who doubts Phil on drums - I direct them to Brand X Phil.
I never appreciated Phil Collins till I went to see "Song Remains the Same" at an Alamo Drafthouse and instead they showed a Genesis concert film. It was from the prog era of Genesis and Phil had only recently replaced Peter Gabriel. I had no love for Genesis and would've walked out but from the very first minute I was enthralled. His drumming was insane and the songs were great and that familiar Phil Collins' voice. And also Bill Bruford! I'm glad I stuck it out. Even my goth girlfriend liked it and she hated everything!
So Proud to have seen them With Percy and Goodsall and Kenwood 2018 ... The Keswick...Middle of nowhere PA...:)...Goodsall is a very underappreciated ax man...RIP...
Saw Phil Collins and band play this on his first solo tour. I was blown away by it and subsequently found out that it was from Brand X. I was fortunate enough to get to see Brand X play it in 2018 or 2019.
Brand X was Phil's way of indulging in his Jazz side. Every time he played with them, it enhanced his playing with Genesis. Same when Tony or Mike did a solo project.
Very Camel-esque. I loved that Camel, Brand X, Gentle Giant, Bruford "Jazz Rock" genre that creeped into the prog rock college scene, and Hillage to some extent, around 1980
@@SingularlyNaked to me, Canterbury scene was Gong, Soft Machine, Caravan, Hillage but all with a Jazz influence. More expeermental and less structured than The Brand X Jazz Rock.
@@turnerthemanc Fair enough. I was misremembering Brand X appearing on Pete Frame’s family tree for Soft Machine, but actually Hatfield & The North and National Health is as close as it gets. I’ll listen to any of it, of course!
@@papapoodo6685 Not brilliant? I would vehemently disagree with you on that. Just the range that Collins delivers on Genesis' "Mama" - from desperate pleas over evil threats to unleashed madness - there's a lot in there. And all in just one song. To be honest, I can only think of few singers who are so versatile. Besides, lots of pop stars would have committed murders for songs like "In the Air Tonight", "I Missed Again", "If Leaving Me Is Easy", "Against All Odds", "I Don't Care Anymore", "Easy Lover", "Don't Lose My Number", "Take Me Home", "Another Day in Paradise" or "I Wish It Would Rain Down". These songs are still high-quality and timeless pop music that can still hold its own against all the Miley Cyrus's, Dua Lipas and Taylor Swifts in the world today.
@@TheAmarok87Only think of a few singers who are so versatile?! Ha! A lot of great singers out there. You obviously have a little crush. Nothing wrong with that...
Dude, I never thought to notice that Morris wasn’t there. Dude really took a lot of Brand X’s material to the next level. Shame he was the first of the bunch to go. Now we only got Phil and Percy.
BBC sound engineers have always been at the top of their game, there’s a good reason why many people enjoy Peel session versions of some of their fave artists over official releases.
This was up a few weeks ago on someone else's channell, seems to have been taken down. so glad your's is up. brilliant stuff. saw this on tv the night it was first broadcast, wonderfull to see it in in high quality def.
It hasn't been taken down, the dude closed his YT account for some stupid reason, nuking all the OGWT content he ever uploaded from existance. This here is just a crappy AI upscaled version of the video with painfully horrible audio artifacting
Say what you want about Phil’s career. Sell out? Ok, if yo want to say so… us drummers know he was a monster, a machine, a melodic drummer… just an amazing drummer.
Phil just like Jeff Beck...hi ho silver lining..🥺.. Neil Murray (Whitesnake) George Benson. give me the night😮.. Steve Smith (Journey) Stewart Copeland and a plethora of other jazz fusion elite guys, they had to be in mainstream bands/ play mainstream music to earn a crust, alas
Yeah, Phil was an incredible drummer Can't blame him and what was left of Genesis going in a more commercial direction They probably made a lot more money
Compare this version with the Live at Perkins Palace 1982 version (also on YT). Larger band (more percussion lol), higher production values, stronger vocals from Collins, tighter arrangement. But the same drummer's slouch, the posture that, if not noted and corrected soon enough, can kill a drummer's career. Collins is a brilliant drummer. I don't know if his current health issues have anything to do with his back; I truly hope not. But any drummers reading this: please, please be aware of your posture and take care of your back.
In the mid seventies they where relatively successfull for an instrumental jazz rock band. They sold 100.000 copys of their debut LP in Great Britain alone.
Once you put aside the name Phil Collins comes with its own baggage and listen to his drumming you soon realise there were times he was great. His Brand X stuff stands out for his ride patterns and for me his best stuff with Genesis was Selling England by the Pound. Some great drumming on there but probably overshadowed a little by the big beasts of prog Carl Palmer, ridiculous snare work and Bill Bruford a rock drummer who manages to blend seamlessly into jazz.
When will Percy Jones finally get his international recognition as an outstanding bassist?
best bass Player in UK
I always included him with Stanley and Jaco... the triumvirate. Saw him play at CBGB back in the day...
💯🙏
Indeed a shame! I agree. He’s an original and deserves honour for that.
He already has it with most other bass players.

Watched this open-mouthed as a budding 16-year-old drummer who'd recently got his first kit. Still playing at 61!
Drumming taken to another level here by Phil the master....
Indeed a master
Very impressive! Same class as Danny Seraphine, plus the vocals. 😊
The negative press Phil gets is staggering.

Some of the best drumming ever. Phil is an other worldy musician. We are lucky to have been around in the same universe as him.
Love Brand X! The first time I heard Nuclear Burn I flipped!
I loved watching and listening to John Goodsall play, IMO a fantastic player who was at home in many genres. RIP John you brought me so much pleasure.

Brilliant…the genius of phil collins with brand x making amazing music
Finally, a clear version of the video!
I was lucky enough as an excited 16 year old to see Phil with both Brand X and Genesis on the same day at the 'Midsummers Night Dream at Knebworth.
It seems that yoUtUBE doesn't like giving links out! I have the cd's/dvd of this concert....

Quite amazing!!it sounds like soft machine at the end of théorie carrer in 1974-1976

Burning!
Phil had to play stuff like this to not get frustrated with the pop direction of Genesis.
Fantastic👍👍👏👏🙌🙌🙌

When Phil did this song on his first solo tour, it seemed very different-and longer?

Слоооожно 😌
Ive never heard of brand x it all sounds very complicated stuff I wonder if they had any records out
I have six LPs from 1976 - 1980 but don´t know if there are more released.
In the mid seventies they where relatively successfull for an instrumental jazz rock band. They sold 100.000 copys of their debut LP in Great Britain alone.
They invented sampling from a record 😂
This and not good enough see me are the two best tracks they ever recorded
What has Mick Taylor to do with it?
Percy Jones looks a bit like a young David Gilmour here.
He looks the same now with shorter hair - planting in Brooklyn in November 2023
Besides Robin Lumley, who's the other keyboardist?
I suppose it is Peter Robinson. He is named on their 1979´s LP "PRODUCT"
Sounds like Santana......
Chester Thompson probably the only human ever to come close to phils drumming
Who play the keyboards? Have two guys, one of them is Peter Robinson? Ex-Quatermass?
If you showed someone from this time what Phil Collins was doing by the 90s they would be horrified.
What time signature is this in?
Just skimmed through it to check and unless I missed something it's 9/4 until Phil starts singing and then it's 4/4
