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!
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.
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.
Lol... phil and his drums. Can Rock anything. Listen to his timing on and off the ride and Hi Hat, mixing the snare and Bass...guy was absolutely amazing
Uno de mis discos preferidos de Brand x , y lo compré justo en el año en que salió y lo escuchaba a diario !!! Exelente disco y exelente phil y todo Brand x
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.
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.
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!
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
Love Phil, hate the music. What is it people hear in this? That it is difficult? Is that a quality? Is there something about that that draws in, engages listeners, makes them feel something?
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.

Phil is a monster dude. Vocals and drums and songwriting.
“This song was written by our former drummer. He went to join some disco band. They ended up doing all right.” - John Goodsall
😂

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.
The negative press Phil gets is staggering.
A gifted, talented musician, an amazing technical drummer.

Drumming taken to another level here by Phil the master....
Indeed a master
Very impressive! Same class as Danny Seraphine, plus the vocals. 😊

Phil Collins may get some stick, but let's be clear, he was a phenomenal drummer. That he can no longer play is very sad indeed.
Check out branx X nuclear burn..... jesus christ phil
Yes! I was a fan of Brand X. A great band!
Let's not forget all his other achievements. Writing, singing, producing and acting.
@@meecob True, but I think his skills as a drummer often get overlooked. A remarkable musician by any stretch if the imagination.
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.
A short but sweet musical adventure
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.
Dude. Phil was originally a Drummer, a good one too, his voice to me, was the Cherry on top. This guy is and was one of the best musicians on earth

Secret life? You need to hear.phil with Robert.Fripp and John Wetton
Welcome!
To understand: did you not know that Phil Collins is a drummer and before Brand X he played in Genesis and before that in Flaming Youth?
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
I think of it as Canterbury rock, since that’s where so many of them came from. So much great stuff!

RIP Robin Lumley March 9, 2023. Thank goodness Percy is still alive and making music.
Sad😭
Oh dear that's news. RIP
yes- Percy lives in NYC and regularly performs with his group MJ12
I saw this band at the Roxy on Sunset the same year. Great show!
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.
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...
Finally, a clear version of the video!
Love his drumming so much more than his singing! Excellent!
He is also brilliant vocalist.
Not bad....not brilliant...and his commercial stuff is pretty cringy...imo. @@ivanyiattila3547
Phil was a force of nature here. That section after Goodsall's solo at 3:05 is top-shelf.
Indeed
Brilliant

Phil is one of the best
Thank You!
That's some fast 9/8. They made it look easy.
Percy and his first Wal….❤❤❤❤
Philip in God mode.
Brilliant…the genius of phil collins with brand x making amazing music
One of the best projects EVER!!! Phil, sure but... the Bass!!!
Percy is one of my all time favorite bass players.
mine too,
Always liked his drumming style.
Love from Romania! ❤
Phil was a great ambassador for Premier drums. What a dude
I like Moroccan Roll by Brand X - what a cool album.
DAMN.........
!!!
Fantastic👍👍👏👏🙌🙌🙌
If Morris Pert was there, the room would've exploded out of awesomeness.
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.
@3:30 it sounds JUST LIKE A GENESIS TUNE!!
Absolutely my favourite Brand X tune!
Love it!
My god! For a generally stuffy BBC..The amazing visuals and audio are first rate ,top notch for this jaw dropping musical performance!
This was par for the course for the BBC back then - all in a day's work.

To me Phil Collins was on the same level as Neil Peart but nobody wants to admit that
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
0:24 Bah gawd it's Stone Cold Steve Austin!
Fucking Excellent!
Jaco Schmaco. Percy Jones is the man!
Uff ja !
Chester Thompson probably the only human ever to come close to phils drumming
Zappaesque
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
They invented sampling from a record 😂
end of '70's ?
1979, Product album.
the end is cut
What time signature is this in?
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
This and not good enough see me are the two best tracks they ever recorded
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.
imagine how good they would have been if they tried coke
They preferred pepsi
Why has the guitar dude such spasms in his face?
I think hes just really feeling the music 😂
Peter Genesis, Phil Genesis, Brand X ... three guitarists with mustaches !
I know you've seen other guitarists make "guitar faces" lol!!
See Robin Trower
Love Phil, hate the music. What is it people hear in this? That it is difficult? Is that a quality? Is there something about that that draws in, engages listeners, makes them feel something?
It does have a groove, and some semblance of a melody. Not Brand X's best track for sure.
brand x just as lame as curved air.
Monsters.
