I agree: I've been listening to Brand X for over 40 years and they still sound fresh and heroic, still get my blood a-pumpin' so many years later. Drives me crazy how few people, how few Musicians are unfamiliar with them. Got to see them twice live, once with Phil Collins. Certainly the most energetic material he's ever been a part of! And this drummer is no slouch! Everyone in this band is amazing! RIP John Goodall!
WOW.... these guys were AWESOME back in the 70s and 80s when I first heard them, and they STILL sound as GREAT !!! They were ahead of their time then, and are STILL ahead of everyone else ! LOL !!! I don't think anyone else will catch up to these guys, they are truly in a class by themselves. Total Class.
My favourite band since I was 15 (1975). Saw them the same year with Phil Collins - then at the top of his game - at the Manchester Free Trade Hall. They were just as good then !!!
I heard Brand X for the first time at age 16, Livestock, I could not stop following them nowadays sound as if the time had stopped in 1976, they are admirable, Percy Jones for me one of the greatest bass players with John Entwistle
First heard them around the age of 16 back in 1977-ish when my older brother gave me Livestock on tape. When I first listened to it, I didn't understand it, and I just stashed it away because to my underdeveloped ears, It was like music from another planet. A few years later I decided to give it another whirl and WOW! I was hooked. In the 80's I had all of their vinyl, most all of which I bout in England when I was stationed there.
Wow this is great I love Brand X Percy Jones is one my biggest influence the album Unorthodox Behaviour one of the best Fusion album of all time thanks for uploading
Les trois premiers albums de Brand X étaient avec Phil Collins..., Phil faisait le travail de deux batteurs à lui tout seul... ! Une pensée pour Phil Collins pour cette nouvelle année 2023, Phil nous manque.
Who did the video and sound for this? Is there any more of this performance available. Frickin' awesome! I would buy this entire performance on Blu-ray if available! I LOVED Brand X back when I was a youngster guitar player, and never got the chance to see them in their heyday. This sounds excellent, and plenty worthy addition to Brand X library! Now for a new studio album! :-D
Oh, yeah... please guys, come to Austin, TX and do a show! You know, we have F1 race here now. So I think we're worthy of having a primo Brand X show, too! ;-)
Still on a musical and energetic level that only a few have achieved: Gentle Giant, Frank Zappa (at his best), the original Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return To Forever (the Di Meola years), Weather Report - nowadays The Aristocrats, Snarky Puppy , Phish (sometimes) ...
I produced a record with Woody on the drums. The music was really written just for his power. During mixing, I was just amazed at what and how he was playing. A deep, DEEP groove I equated with symphonic percussion. Amazing and unique, far more than merely ‘busy.’
James Reeno Phil Collins è il mio batterista preferito di Brand x, ma eccellenti anche Kenwood Dennard e Mike Clark. Phil Collins is my favorite drummer of Brand x, but also excellent Kenwood Dennard and Mike Clark.
Sickness, I have 1976 year`s digital album of my pc, [Unorthodox Behaviour] I always loved this track, first time listening live performance on youtube, it is absolutely masterpiece!
Not as World Music-oriented as WR, but still a stupendous band. I always maintained Percy Jones was every bit as great as Jaco; and in many ways, far more innovative.
Glad to see they are touring the U.S - West Coast - again, starting March 15th 2019. Dennard blows my mind in this clip from 2016. Thanks for posting it!
ruclips.net/video/6_MaZLP_caQ/видео.html jellybean, incredible bassist👍🏻👍🏻stumbled across this interesting character who dissects and reacts to great 70,89’s music 😊he has an eclectic taste you might enjoy!!
Omg......only just discovered this band when reading Phil Collins new book ( not dead yet ) ...we’ll all I can say is where have I been , I will be certainly seeing these guys perform hopefully soon
Ernesto!!! Great 📫, Brother!!! ...saw them in the 70'....didn't understand why alota friends didn't get it...this is going to be in the Vault!! 😊 TanX, Brother! :)*
This is killer shit ! I saw them in Central Park opening for John McLaughlin ,but the guitar player was sick . It was only Percy, Robin, Morris and I don’t know who was on drums ? They still killed it! I liked them more than McLaughlin . It was the first time I ever saw a bass player with a rack . I never got to see Weather Report with Jaco ,but I’ve seen Jean Luc Ponty with Ralph Armstrong fret less masters ! And you can definitely add Percy Jones to that list !
I was astounded they were still touring. Saw them in a small studio this evening with maybe 80 other people! Fantastic, I mean out of this world! It sure felt like the first time i heard them back in 74, 75, 76 maybe?
Let us all please not forget.. the composer or the original parts. Those who came afterwards, played really good. But.. they were just mainly playing the original (drum parts). Please, give proper respect to all original composers who serve it up fresh. Without them.....???
I saw Brand x with Kenwood in 1977. Blown away. I want to go see him here in Cincinnati. Last time I saw them was 78 or 79. Is Kenwood Dennard touring with them now?
Great Fusion. I got interested by Richard MacPhail's autobiography "Genesis und ich" (german release). I was not very impressed by LiveStock but this one is absolutely great! What is the line-up of that band?
ANY women here? I mostly went to see UK live or Gong above all else way back. They are a musicians music or complex listeners 😏...thrilling, virtuosic, breathtaking 🙌
I don't understand this music ...why they use rhythms that nobody understands, indansible music, why be so complicated? can someone explain the drum beat to me?
this is a bad azz cut --i just wish live, the keyboard player would extend his solo(its a good feel at this point) and the guitar player would take a solo as well..its a song to be improved with...and percy could take a solo here as welll.. rather than keeping itr close to the studio version...

Heroic indeed !👍🎵
I would bet my life on the fact that Phil Collins very much misses playing drums in this band
Deffo
...did a better job too
Neil Lumby this guy is be proficient himself and no slouch.
Or drums period
@@evankeal I suppose that it may have something to do with (the phases of) Life
PERCY! The man on the bass............always puts a smile on my face.
monster
Too bad he quit.
One of the true greats of the electric bass.
Percy is the man of brand X
A Bass Players Bass Player
WOW.... these guys were AWESOME back in the 70s and 80s when I first heard them, and they STILL sound as GREAT !!! They were ahead of their time then, and are STILL ahead of everyone else ! LOL !!! I don't think anyone else will catch up to these guys, they are truly in a class by themselves. Total Class.
How many bass nerds go to see these guys ? Salute Percy Jones .
Yeah. Sort of a hobby...
There are only two other guys that get that kind of sound from a bass - that's Victor Wooten and the late great Jaco.
@@HeadHunterSix dont forget the late great Mick Karn
@@HeadHunterSix dont forget too..stanley clark..mr bass
@@HeadHunterSix......et Monsieur Pino Palladino, mais oui!!
My favourite band since I was 15 (1975). Saw them the same year with Phil Collins - then at the top of his game - at the Manchester Free Trade Hall. They were just as good then !!!
You go back that far too.
You saw Brand X live in 1975?
do you have any record?
@@brandxbootlegs Record coming soon. I hope you will listen to it objectively.
I heard Brand X for the first time at age 16, Livestock, I could not stop following them nowadays sound as if the time had stopped in 1976, they are admirable, Percy Jones for me one of the greatest bass players with John Entwistle
I agree with you, But I would also add Jack Bruce and Stanley Clarke to that list.
@@golfhound you forgot Jaco Pastorius, Rick Laird, Chris Squire, Grek Lake, John Wetton, Geddy Lee, Roger Glover, Larry Taylor, Gary Thain, etc.
and Squire..

Wow!! How'd I miss this? One of my very all time favorites. They look and sound great! God Bless Brand X
Wow this is great I love Brand X Percy Jones is one my biggest influence the album Unorthodox Behaviour one of the best Fusion album of all time thanks for uploading
What a fucking brilliant drummer to go with Percy.
It’s Kenwood Denard
Percy Jone and John Goodsall are amazing.
Next level mastery of skills. Hats off!
Kenwood quit right after this.
BRAVO ! The Band is On Fire & Percy Jones is Awesome As Always !!
Les trois premiers albums de Brand X étaient avec Phil Collins..., Phil faisait le travail de deux batteurs à lui tout seul... ! Une pensée pour Phil Collins pour cette nouvelle année 2023, Phil nous manque.

The sound is like 33 years ago......TOP ........thanks....the band is very good.......keep this music rolling
RIP John Goodsall. He was an incredible guitarist.
You've got it!👍
Still on a musical and energetic level that only a few have achieved: Gentle Giant, Frank Zappa (at his best), the original Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return To Forever (the Di Meola years), Weather Report - nowadays The Aristocrats, Snarky Puppy , Phish (sometimes) ...
Just Fantastic! The x brand was never generic in musical nature but Brand X is Nature.
Phil Collins, Frank Katz and Kenwood Dennard, beast drummers!!!!
Mike Clarke as well!!!
Please don't forget the Best;Maestro Mike Clark.
I produced a record with Woody on the drums. The music was really written just for his power. During mixing, I was just amazed at what and how he was playing. A deep, DEEP groove I equated with symphonic percussion. Amazing and unique, far more than merely ‘busy.’
Where is the full version of the concert?? I would love to see the entire performance...
Seen them in D.C. at the Cellar Door in 78. and they're still GREAT!!!!
Im happy they are playing again
Lovely to see real music charging across the stage. Recall when they started out, 76.77? Discipline, i love it.
Really nice.
This song is Nuclear Burn. (1976)
Massimo Fava Phil Collins played it better.
James Reeno Phil Collins è il mio batterista preferito di Brand x, ma eccellenti anche Kenwood Dennard e Mike Clark.
Phil Collins is my favorite drummer of Brand x, but also excellent Kenwood Dennard and Mike Clark.
Phil Collins is great in Brand X but the best on Mr. Fripp first album.
That lick at 2:40 was unbelievable! Such a tight sound! This is quite a group!
Jones and Goodsall haven't slowed a bit!
Sickness, I have 1976 year`s digital album of my pc, [Unorthodox Behaviour] I always loved this track, first time listening live performance on youtube, it is absolutely masterpiece!
Percy Jones...What Bass Playing is all about (Awesome)
he is god
Kenwood Dennard on drums! Check him out on the opening and closing tracks of Brand X' Livestock (1977).
thx! It' s time to take my original vinyl again bought after release.
The english answer to Weather Report. Since the first album till the last one all must have
Not as World Music-oriented as WR, but still a stupendous band. I always maintained Percy Jones was every bit as great as Jaco; and in many ways, far more innovative.
C'mon, Jaco was at the fretless bass too and he was as well as Percy Jones.
Percy Jones is still an absolute beast. Excellent band.
Kenwood is great but prefer Phil Collins.
Phil would probably prefer that he could still play the drums.
Check out Kenny G. He more than holds his own.
Kenwood is a beast.
Glad to see they are touring the U.S - West Coast - again, starting March 15th 2019. Dennard blows my mind in this clip from 2016. Thanks for posting it!
OMG I didn't know they were still together or touring!
Jones,what a bassist!
ruclips.net/video/6_MaZLP_caQ/видео.html jellybean, incredible bassist👍🏻👍🏻stumbled across this interesting character who dissects and reacts to great 70,89’s music 😊he has an eclectic taste you might enjoy!!
they don't miss a beat inbelievable Percy
Now this is just fantastic !!!
Wow! Amazing! I could listen to Brand X forever!
Excellent !!!!
Percy jones, john goodsall, phil collins... The souls of Brand x....
Livestock, my favourite álbum.
You mean Robin Lumley. Phil is not one of the founders of Brand X
Omg......only just discovered this band when reading Phil Collins new book ( not dead yet ) ...we’ll all I can say is where have I been ,
I will be certainly seeing these guys perform hopefully soon
This is just BAD ASS!
J'ai connu Brand X en 1979 à l'âge de 15 ans. Une révélation ... Jamais vu en concert mais j'apprécie énormément celui-ci. Bravo.
Hooked since 1975.
🎼🔥✨KENWOOD✨🔥...S’UP, S’UP,
S’UUUUUUUUP !!!...Homepiece, way too
much fun...much love, health, strength &
respect...forward,
Fox🌬💨🔥🎵🔥🎶🌞🌚🕶
Don't get the drummer, sorry. Not being a hater, just listen to the original and you'll find the groove.
if you dont u will maybe like my channel :)
Best group of rock talent ever, no question
Morris is great on bass, and i hear the tone in extreme prog/tech death metal which makes me smile ;-)
Ernesto!!! Great 📫, Brother!!! ...saw them in the 70'....didn't understand why alota friends didn't get it...this is going to be in the Vault!! 😊

Holy shit when did they tour the US ?? Are you kidding me??
Right now.
I was astounded they were still touring. Saw them in a small studio this evening with maybe 80 other people! Fantastic, I mean out of this world! It sure felt like the first time i heard them back in 74, 75, 76 maybe?
this is art
Every player in their own private groove. This is why your girlfriend doesn’t like fusion. She knows better.
1 Fantastic Jazz -Fusion Band ! I’ll take Brand X !
Great to see Kenwood holding it down, still prefer Kenny!
fine rithm and music!ciao
Kenwood Denard!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ John Goodsall Rest In Peace 💔😞💔
AWESOME PERCY!!!!
Amazing!
Nice to see Percy Jones (bass) in his usual brilliance. How many of the original players are still alive?
they still are with us and i would have them in rome italy

John Goodsall Rest In Peace ☮️😞💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏
Saw you guys at the elmocombo. Best gig ever i have seen.
Let us all please not forget.. the composer or the original parts. Those who came afterwards, played really good. But.. they were just mainly playing the original (drum parts). Please, give proper respect to all original composers who serve it up fresh. Without them.....???
Awsome version of N.BURN tight fusion tune😊
Yeah, Brand X forever !
Highly doubtful that they'll ever play again. John is sick and Percy quit the band.
That is like Freddie Green on acid at the end there... :D
Sitting having drinks in the front. Cool.
WOW!
Все участники группы профессионалы с большой буквой, все супер.
Bass playing is outta this world...
It is not the same without Phil, or even Chester on drums.
Percy!
Wow, great playing and a nice mix.
2 Puppies Up for Chris Clark!
Andy Graziano 🐶🎼
Saw BX at the Roxy in late seventies with Collins. Magic. K Dennard is the only drummer that compares to Phill with this band
Casi 43 años y siguen tocando con esa destreza y Nuclear Burn siempre será su caballito de batalla. Grande Brand X
Were there any women in the audience? Who wanted to be there.
BRAND X GOLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
nice but still doesn't have the phill 11-8 touch
I saw Brand x with Kenwood in 1977. Blown away. I want to go see him here in Cincinnati. Last time I saw them was 78 or 79. Is Kenwood Dennard touring with them now?
do you have any record?
Kenwood Dennard On drums :-)
Line up please.....
Kenwood Dennard is in a whole nother Zone wow
Hell yes!!!
Great Fusion. I got interested by Richard MacPhail's autobiography "Genesis und ich" (german release).
I was not very impressed by LiveStock but this one is absolutely great!
What is the line-up of that band?
Que buena Banda Brand X , Saludos desde Santiago de Chile.
Smokin HOT, as I remember it!
ANY women here? I mostly went to see UK live or Gong above all else way back. They are a musicians music or complex listeners 😏...thrilling, virtuosic, breathtaking 🙌
great......love it
Fantastic they're still at it. Pukka.
Que c'est plat , voir triste par rapport à la version originale .... Surtout le batteur ...
regarde ma chaine si tu aimes l'époque avec Phil :)
I don't understand this music ...why they use rhythms that nobody understands, indansible music, why be so complicated? can someone explain the drum beat to me?
Kenwood Dennard on drums ???
John Goodsall (RIP)
this is a bad azz cut --i just wish live, the keyboard player would extend his solo(its a good feel at this point) and the guitar player would take a solo as well..its a song to be improved with...and percy could take a solo here as welll.. rather than keeping itr close to the studio version...
