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.

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

Burning!

Watched this open-mouthed as a budding 16-year-old drummer who'd recently got his first kit. Still playing at 61!

,,..also as epic === WIND and Wuthring.......,,,so good,...

I miss Old Grey Whistle Test

What has Mick Taylor to do with it?

Sounds like Santana......

Sadly incomplete. Do BBC have the complete performance recording?

Very, very early Wal.

One of the best bands ever!!!

“Bruce Dern on guitar, everyone! BRUCE DERN!”

It's so hard to believe that in those days they allowed such amateurish editing to find its way on to television....

What a class act they were

Phenomenal drummer ! the ONE !

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…

Ymo❤

Thanks for posting this.

Ive never heard of brand x it all sounds very complicated stuff I wonder if they had any records out

Lumley's key solo sounds like something not misplaced in "Watcher of the Skies."

Gold. Phil Collins was a great drummer. Watcher of the Skies.

What a great.

Phil the amazing Collins, appeared in so many remarkable guises. And the rest of the band, too, hats off to you all. Ciao! 😊😊

i’m here from the jeff sipe trio covering this brilliantly

Oh for a sequencer.

Love me some Brand X. Amazing musicians who created some great songs. Goodsall is so underrated and unappreciated.

More like FILL collins

Besides Robin Lumley, who's the other keyboardist?

Слоооожно 😌

Phil had to play stuff like this to not get frustrated with the pop direction of Genesis.

Geddy Lee is thrilled to be playing with a group he respects on a tremendous day and is fitting in.

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

Great

For those who like this kind of thing, this is the kind of thing they like.

Although the studio version is far better, there is no debate about Brand X's world-class level of musicianship, edgy, inventive and innovative. Most people do not recognize how great a drummer Phil Collins was and special shout outs to John Goodsall who was a great guitarist and Percy Jones who never attained the level of recognition he deserved as one of the greats of his instrument. As far as being an original, he was on the level of Jaco.

Déjà le guitariste aurait du accorder sa guitare car il sonne malheureusement faux... il est à quelques coma en-dessous. Dommage.

Love Brand X! The first time I heard Nuclear Burn I flipped!

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.

Anybody knows what guitar he is playing ? Looks interesting

What time signature is this in?

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.

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.

A short but sweet musical adventure

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.

0:24 Bah gawd it's Stone Cold Steve Austin!

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.

To me Phil Collins was on the same level as Neil Peart but nobody wants to admit that

brand x just as lame as curved air.

Brilliant

Jaco Schmaco. Percy Jones is the man!
