[@ByronWerner-qw5sh]

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!

[@marjamkiewdetoledomoraeski936]

Heroic indeed !👍🎵

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.

[@dissidentfairy4264]

Wow! Amazing! I could listen to Brand X forever!

[@Jack-D-Ripper]

Percy Jone and John Goodsall are amazing.

[@mohammadseddon577]

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 !!!

[@lc4002]

You go back that far too.

[@vbassone]

You saw Brand X live in 1975?

[@brandxbootlegs]

do you have any record?

[@vbassone]

@@brandxbootlegs Record coming soon. I hope you will listen to it objectively.

[@sergiocarlosromero145]

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

[@golfhound]

I agree with you, But I would also add Jack Bruce and Stanley Clarke to that list.

[@Supernaut70]

@@golfhound you forgot Jaco Pastorius, Rick Laird, Chris Squire, Grek Lake, John Wetton, Geddy Lee, Roger Glover, Larry Taylor, Gary Thain, etc.

[@tarsomenezes5198]

and Squire..

[@patriciadenis8767]

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.

[@davidstopford3165]

What a fucking brilliant drummer to go with Percy.

[@ericaward702]

It’s Kenwood Denard

[@ricksalt6860]

How many bass nerds go to see these guys ? Salute Percy Jones .

[@shawnsnudden6323]

Yeah. Sort of a hobby...

[@HeadHunterSix]

There are only two other guys that get that kind of sound from a bass - that's Victor Wooten and the late great Jaco.

[@tommyboy1861]

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.

[@brandxbootlegs]

do you have any record ?

[@shedjammer87]

RIP John Goodsall. He was an incredible guitarist.

[@ranjitverdi5702]

You've got it!👍

[@lunartrax]

BRAVO ! The Band is On Fire & Percy Jones is Awesome As Always !!

[@nickr6294]

Wow!! How'd I miss this? One of my very all time favorites. They look and sound great! God Bless Brand X

[@progrockdoc]

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!

[@arikshahar6554]

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

[@DidZed]

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.

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

Now this is just fantastic !!!

[@bobbynoe1]

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) ...

[@ServeeSchellinx]

The sound is like 33 years ago......TOP ........thanks....the band is very good.......keep this music rolling

[@marcelomonteverai8139]

Phil Collins, Frank Katz and Kenwood Dennard, beast drummers!!!!

[@giorgioformicola5287]

Mike Clarke as well!!!

[@OmarRodriguez-pg6ok]

Please don't forget the Best;Maestro Mike Clark.

[@artysanmobile]

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.’

[@panacea60]

Best group of rock talent ever, no question

[@graphicsociety1]

Next level mastery of skills. Hats off!

[@michaelpolese3440]

Kenwood quit right after this.

[@stephm-p2839]

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!

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.

[@crazyxae]

The english answer to Weather Report. Since the first album till the last one all must have

[@robertkaye5434]

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.

[@Supernaut70]

C'mon, Jaco was at the fretless bass too and he was as well as Percy Jones.

[@vincecino44]

1 Fantastic Jazz -Fusion Band ! I’ll take Brand X !

[@mariothepookster]

Must have been incredible seeing them live! Those are some CHOPS!

[@sepp2gl]

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?

[@stanislawpotyrala8294]

Amazing!

[@randallpeterson785]

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

[@randallpeterson785]

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! ;-)

[@ernestporee3697]

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 !

[@charleslambiase5670]

is this a different version of the base he's been using it such a warmer sound

[@HeadHunterSix]

Fretless bass has a much warmer, smoother sound. Moreso if he's got flatwound strings on it.
