Why Won't You Lend Me Yours? and Miserable Virgin are just wrong name of titles. I dont know why on Missing Period 4 of the 6 songs are named wrong. In case I upload here with the good title: ua-cam.com/video/wR_QwFT87Gc/v-deo.html
Every guy in that band was a friggin' genius. Phil inspired a bazillion drummers. That endless double on a single kick peddle on Malaga Virgen still mind-blowing. Gives me shin splints just listening to it!
So if 'Malaga' means Miserable? then isn't that place in Spain Malaga also miserable ,I went there with my band in 1988 and EVERYTHING went wrong. We came back to Canada completely broke ,just saying.
I try and still go to a gig at least once a month (I am 70) and have seen many gifted guitarists, John Goodsall is up there with the very best, RIP John
Umm I'm not really that old and I adore Gabriel era Genesis. Trick, Duke and Acacab also rule one Phil took over. How about don't use your age as a footpost to gatekeep music from a younger generation 🤦♂️
I was 18 and was first introduced to Brand X by a local radio station WGTB Washington DC. The first album I bought was “ Masques” It blew me away. You must have been stunned watching/listening to them live in concert.
I've felt like that for so long, and I now believe that the average fan is just that; average. They're content with REO Speedwagon and Marshall Tucker Band, and they cant even comprehend drumming like this. So, to hell with them. The rest of us know. And those who want to know, will know.
Indeed. I first heard Unorthodox Behaviour when it first came out at a friend's house. He played exceptional bass and arranged for large ensembles and enthused wildly over Percy Jones. I prefer Moroccan Roll with Morris Pert's beautiful percussion stylings(the tubular bell like chimes in the quiet version of MV) and Phil Collin's drumming is just as good as Billy Cobham or any of the other jazzers. I only recently found out what horrendous management they had. Sadly, I never saw them live, but thanks to this channel am enjoying listening to the different gigs. The 60's and 70's were a golden period in British rock music and jazz alike. I'm 66 so I'm now watching my heroes die. I was extremely saddened by John Goodsall's passing.
I bought unorthodox behavior and Moroccan roll in the early 80’s…Phil‘a powerful drumming and Percy Jones on bass blew my mind…never got tired of listening to these
Met him fronting Brand X at of all places Wigan Casino in 75. He gave my pal his drumsticks after the gig and told us Genisis was the cash cow, jazz was his passion.
Collin's playing has such a relaxed feel that I don't tire listening to it and his deas never sound overwrought or contrived - his playing comes from a great drumming mind and not from theorising or thinking too much.
The years 1975-1977 saw Phil extremely busy both with Genesis (developing "A Trick of the Tail" and jamming and recroding fusion-jazz with these geniuses Goodsall, Lumley, and Jones. And I was listening to it all and buying it on vinyl. To me when I look back in life now, the 1970's and 1980's were the most vibrant, innovative and exciting muscal climates to grow up in.
I had every album except Morraccan Roll on vinyl.... Lost over 2,000 records when a car wreck forced me out of work and my house. Haven't been able to find these on vinyl anymore. Phil Collins was at his peak as a drummer during all of Brand X he played on.
What an awesome group! I, like some others here, listened to them in my teens. 'Unorthadox Behaviour' was my first Brand X record. Progressive music was hot at that time (early n mid 70s) and we had a treasure trove of awesome music: (in no particular order) Return to Forever (along w the solo stuff from Al D n Stanley Clark) Weather Report, Mahavishnu, Gentle Giant, Yes, Dixie Dregs, Genesis, Billy Cobham, Jean Luc Ponty, FZ, Lee Rit, etc.). That's just off the top of my head- my gosh we were spoiled! Thank you so much for posting this gem!
Hi, hello there. Since you mentioned weather report and Vishnu... Have you listened to Caldera? And what do you think. Thank you. I should add the super group UK, and Allan Holdsworth, and do you think Gambale is as good or better guitarist than Alan.
Bass player is Percy Jones. Jaco-esq, yes, but with a totally unique sound of his own. I call him " The Great Percolator." It sounds like his bass is "percolating" (bubbling) a lot of times. Love him! In my top 5 with Jaco, Stanley, Jamerson & McCartney.
Percy sounds NOTHING like Jaco Pastorius. Percy ABSOLUTELY had his own thing. Jaco was the towering Genius though of his time unquestionably, but Percy deserves a lot more notoriety.@@bobbyshroyer440
Eddie Van Halen led me here , He mentioned this band in an interview. He said he didn't listen to much music other than creating his own but mentioned "Brand X" was one of last albums he bought. Now I get why he liked them.
Yes I have been a fan of both for quite some time, though I think I got into Brand X first. I remember that interview with Eddie, but I haven't been able to find it since I watched it. Do you happen to have a link?
@@civilian8697 Yes it's in this video at around the 1 minute 58 second mark. ua-cam.com/video/KjR5fLBDyrQ/v-deo.html&t "The last album I bought was is in 1980 by a band called Brand X." -VH
@@morbidmanmusicI think of Brand-X as being like a RUBBER BAND type sound. However, RTF (in comparrison) sound was like a Steel plate with bolts. Both are equally useful.
I remember hearing decades ago, that Phil was heavily influenced by The New Tony Williams Lifetime album Believe It and desired to play music like this. But desire and ability can be two different things. But not in Phil Collins case. Phil was more than capable of creating & cutting this music with some of the finest musicians in the world. Brand X is an essential band for Fusion, Jazz-Rock, Prog lovers. This band evolved as Phil evolved and by the time Product came out in 1979, Phil had added some vocal tunes. Nonetheless, this was Brand X and as much Goodsall, Lumley and Jones's Band as well. Amongst the many, many bands in the last 50 years, Brand X remains in my Top 10.
I found out about "Brand X" thanks to the CD longboxes in the 80's. The longbox for "Face Value" mentioned "Brand X" and I skipped on over to the "other section" of the music store and was blown away! Xtrax was the first CD I had of theirs.
Ian it's brilliant your taste in music so young, l was the same l saw soft machine with Allan Holdsworth, l was 15 and life was never the same after that!
Thanks so much Nigel! That's amazing that you saw The Softs with Allan Holdsworth. He's my all time favorite musician (Allan). Man what I would give to have been able to see him live. Thanks for the comment 😎
@@civilian8697 hey mate, l saw him at the free trade hall Manchester, my dad who was a jazz nut was with me, his jaw hit the floor when Allan sparked up lol I've always thought it brilliant that Allan and John McLaughlin lived near each other in West Yorkshire , the chances of that! Gary Boyle is not from there but lives in Skipton... Three players all around the same age
Phil kept saying he thought his best work was with Brand X and I thought, 'oh sure, you say that but'. Then I FINALLY listened. These are great musicians and I don't know why I should be surprised. Throughout his whole career Collins surrounded himself with the best musicians every step of the way.
@@paulblanshard9336 I agree, but this is great 'traditional' fusion drumming. Collins started taking things electronic when the drum machine craze started. Genesis always seemed to be ahead of the curve....lighting, damped drum sound, guitar tapstyle. It seems Phil was first experimenting with using a drum machine then adding live drumming. You can't say it was not popular. He made millions doing it.
Percy Jones sounds great here. I think he's using a Precison at this point, or could be the Wal. (I always thought he was even more unique than Jaco in some ways--always in the pocket, but quirky)
Percy is the man! He's my favorite bassists of all time! I do think this was a Precision he was using for this period. He began using Wal in 1978 on Masques. Thanks for listening! 😎
PJ a fantastic bass man true, but no Jaco (sound) here, sorry. More down-to-earth - Jaco was always flying high at some altitude somewhere. God bless all the musicians who give us SO MUCH!
Thanks for posting. Goodsall was definitely one of the underrated guitarists, at the time I didn't appreciate the funkiness of Brand X. Great memories!
Sounds so good, they just hit the REC tape and go! CRAZY ! Eargasm over guitar /moog lead hook @ 21:20! Now it will be stuck in my head for another 40 years! "Do they hurt" has another haunting lead hook that you will hear in your head when you try to sleep at night.
A badass Band Indeed!! Albums like Masques, Morrocon role and stuff like Peter and the wolf ffs, you know?? What a band. By far my favourite over so many groups and artists. Unorthodox behaviour is marvelous
@@civilian8697 of course you can't actually fly more than halfway around the world because if you did it would be closer to go the other way around! - The kind of things that come to mind while listening to Brand X ;-)
Well, he didn't actually say "more" than half. (The kind of things you pick up on when listening to Brand X I guess) I Saw them at a venue in Cincinnati (Bogarts) during the "Unorthodox"... tour. Kenwood Dennard on drums. Not many people. Great show! Got a pretty decent recording of it from an old Panasonic cassette recorder! Thankfully has been transferred to digital! Yes, Percy & John both were a revelation! Robin Lumley was/is no slouch either.
Let’s not forget that Brand X was firstly Percy Jones, John Goodsall, Robin Lumley, Morris Pert AND Phil Collins- Phil WAS the first drummer, but only one of at least 6 or 7 other also QUITE impressive drummers.
Gotta give some love to Robin Lumley. There's not much in the comments. Fantastic Rhodes and minimoog playing here, and on the albums grand piano and Mellotron. It was one of my great disappointments that he dropped out of the music performance world after just a few Brand X records. I would love to hear the story behind that. (Yes, I know about his other work with Jack Lancaster.)
:)...Thanks so much for the upload...A group fading into history...Saw them in 2018 in Sellersville PA sans Phil but Kenwood is a great Phil in...:) Product, Moroccan Roll and this album are the peak of fusion...Some of Phil's best work...
It was probably 1994, at six p.m.Job was over and a friend of mine i was working with told me " Brand X is in town , live in Albatros theatre but tickets are sold out ! ". The theatre was on my way home , so i thought " let me see if i can get a ticket ".Well, they were NOT sold out . .i saw them in Genova ( with Pierre Morlaine , GONG'S drummer ) and at the end of the performance i have known personally John Goodsall and Percy Jones. Unforgettable night , Immortal music.
1) Miserable Virgin 2) Tito's Leg 3) Why Won't You Lend Me Yours? These are demos and early takes of tracks that made it to the albums (except for Tito's Leg). The tapes were found by John Goodsall and remastered under different titles.
@@civilian8697 Thanks so much! I also love the other pre Unorthodox album 'Missing Period'. Phil is so good on that too. I think theses are in many ways better than the official albums. Just so raw!
I never heard fretless bass until this album. At least not like this. So while my friends were listening to Eric Clapton and Fink Ployd on a loop because their FM formatted dj told them to, I went on with this, Dimeola, Camel etc., and never looked back. Ah, when talent and music were real.
To all the dumbos hating Phil Collins as drummer, listen carefully to Genesis Archives The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Live. Genesis fan from 1972, went to 8 Genesis concerts till 1987. After that they produced musical shit. I think Collins is musically schizophrenic, I never got to digest switching from The Fountain of Salmacis to You Can't Hurry Love. But he is a genius drummer.
phil always complained that he was skint, Midway through the 1974/5 lamb world tour, gabriel quit in the usa leg,, the tour manager offered him £1000 to finish the tour, phil said 'if peter gets £1k, we all want £1k 'Genesis didn't break even until 1976. They then all had solo/side projects. phil realised money is in selling out for commercial mediocrity. pension guaranteed.

Awesome man! Keep it up. I'm just the same!
Moroccan Roll. One of the first albums I bought as an eighteen year old in 1980. Loved it then.... still do.
Man, what a band this was…. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. 😢 This music never gets boring.
Thanks for sharing. This is wonderful
You are of a certain age if you are old enough to remember when Collins played heavy progressive stuff like this-And also with Genesis...
Fusion Stuff!!
Genesis = prog. Brand X = fusion.
lol yeah but I never knew he did this, I only heard Genesis and his solo work... and his work on Robert Plant's solo albums
I remember hearing about them from Eddie Van Halen in an interview back in the 90’s didn’t know it was a Phil side project during Genesis years
Umm I'm not really that old and I adore Gabriel era Genesis. Trick, Duke and Acacab also rule one Phil took over. How about don't use your age as a footpost to gatekeep music from a younger generation 🤦♂️
I was of a certain age, namely 16, when I was fortunate enough to get to see Phil with Brand X in 1979.
I was 18 and was first introduced to Brand X by a local radio station WGTB Washington DC. The first album I bought was “ Masques” It blew me away.
You must have been stunned watching/listening to them live in concert.
I was 15 in ‘86, when I bought MR PURELY on the basis that Phil was playing. Man, was THAT an education. 😂
I had favorite bassists prior to discovering Brand X - but my GOD, Percy's fretless explorations just blew my ever-lovin' MIND.
It’s a shame the average fan doesn’t realize what a smoking drummer Phil was.
Thanks for posting!

really interesting! any memories, pictures, video footage or audio or ticket?
also what was the date of the show
Shows just how fast Phil's foot was. He always said he admired Bonham's single pedal playing and Phil's Brand X stuff really shows what he could do.
Phil was a good fusion player, but don't shit your pants....there were way better
@@mikedown1250 What if he already did?
@@mikedown1250 There's always someone better in something, so what's your point with that arrogant comment?

:)...Thanks so much for the upload...A group fading into history...Saw them in 2018 in Sellersville PA sans Phil but Kenwood is a great Phil in...:) Product, Moroccan Roll and this album are the peak of fusion...Some of Phil's best work...
My favorite band. I'm so glad I am able to share this with you! Keep the Brand X flame burning 😎
@@civilian8697 It's easy to love them...:)
@@godbluffvdgg For sure 🙂
I think it was Penns Landing I saw them.
I Can't rightly recollect.
That was Thai Stick and Southern Comfort times.
This is some of the best shit ever made. Fact.
Bought the CD when it came out 22 years ago.
It was probably 1994, at six p.m.Job was over and a friend of mine i was working with told me " Brand X is in town , live in Albatros theatre but tickets are sold out ! ". The theatre was on my way home , so i thought " let me see if i can get a ticket ".Well, they were NOT sold out .
.i saw them in Genova ( with Pierre Morlaine , GONG'S drummer ) and at the end of the performance i have known personally John Goodsall and Percy Jones.
Unforgettable night , Immortal music.
Incredibly tight and energetic!
Era era muito rápido no pedal e o controle. Muito limpo. Brilhante
Christ these lads were as good as weather report!!!
... Better, I've seen both
I like the back of the Moroccan Roll album, Phil is holding a joint
Como se hace esto? puro placer acustico.
Phil Collins at his best! Could you please list the names of the tracks? Thanks for posting this. It is amazing!
1) Miserable Virgin
2) Tito's Leg
3) Why Won't You Lend Me Yours?
These are demos and early takes of tracks that made it to the albums (except for Tito's Leg). The tapes were found by John Goodsall and remastered under different titles.
@@civilian8697 Thanks so much! I also love the other pre Unorthodox album 'Missing Period'. Phil is so good on that too. I think theses are in many ways better than the official albums. Just so raw!
@@goesjem Indeed! What a fantastic band 🙂
@@civilian8697 if you would be so kind, pin/fix this info to the top 😘
It's been said before but Phil always played his ass off when fully bearded, clean shaven he was so different
Maybe we should call him Sampson Collins 😃
@@psyclotronxx3083 lmao 🤣
@@psyclotronxx3083😂You’re not wrong there, lose the hair, lose the power 😂
I never heard fretless bass until this album. At least not like this. So while my friends were listening to Eric Clapton and Fink Ployd on a loop because their FM formatted dj told them to, I went on with this, Dimeola, Camel etc., and never looked back. Ah, when talent and music were real.
Phil Is a God here
My bass player took lessons from Percy Jones !
So lucky !!! Where ?
I played brand x at the interval of a gig my band were playing. A waitress came up to me and said ( play that at right speed ) 😂😂😂
Where are you finding these recordings man ? I love this!!! Totally different version!
This is from the CD Missing Period. There are 3 more tracks on it that I have posted on my channel under the title "The Peel Sessions"

rip john goodsall
Note how this version is in a different key?
To all the dumbos hating Phil Collins as drummer, listen carefully to Genesis Archives The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Live. Genesis fan from 1972, went to 8 Genesis concerts till 1987. After that they produced musical shit. I think Collins is musically schizophrenic, I never got to digest switching from The Fountain of Salmacis to You Can't Hurry Love. But he is a genius drummer.
phil always complained that he was skint, Midway through the 1974/5 lamb world tour, gabriel quit in the usa leg,, the tour manager offered him £1000 to finish the tour, phil said 'if peter gets £1k, we all want £1k 'Genesis didn't break even until 1976. They then all had solo/side projects. phil realised money is in selling out for commercial mediocrity. pension guaranteed.
@@TONE11111Well it’s his choice and it was a good one, he’ll never be skint again, not a fan of his solo work though
I think this has Preston Heyman on percussion too.
It does. Sorry I forgot to credit him.
🎵🎶 😎👍 🎶🎵

listen collins on two sides of peter banks, incredible
I also hear a percussionist - Morris Pert perhaps?
Preston Heyman
il doit y avoir aussi Moris Pert aux percussions ?
C'était avant que Morris ne rejoigne. Ici, nous avons Preston Heyman aux percussions
