Recorded at the Roxy Theatre, Los Angeles, California on Sunday, 23rd September 1979 11:30 pm to 1:00 am.
This recording of Brand X captured live at the peak of the bands career has never been previously issued.

Brand X was another one of those bands who were beloved of other musicians, and the more discerning of critics, but which despite everything never had the commercial success that it deserved.

They were a jazz fusion band active 1975–1980. Noted members included Phil Collins (drums), Percy Jones (bass), John Goodsall (guitar) and Robin Lumley (keyboards). Not long after jazz/rock fusion greats Brand X put out their 1980 album, "Do They Hurt?", the band members went their separate ways (until their comeback in 1992 which only featured Goodsall and Jones). This is a soundboard recording from one of Brand X’s shows recorded at the Roxy Theatre, Los Angeles, California on Sunday, 23rd September 1979 11:30 pm to 1:00 am, recorded shortly after the release of Product.

The following is culled from an internet review of the album:

As an historical document, it’s interesting to hear Phil Collins and the band ham it up (“You’ve been a credit to Poland…”) with silly asides before launching into lifelike versions of not-so-old favorites plus new songs from the just-released Product. The group did a limited tour of the UK and US to support Product, using the same setlist from night to night and alternating beetween “Nuclear Burn” and “Access To Data/The Ghost of Mayfield Lodge” as the encore. If you’ve exhausted all of the official releases and are looking for something to nibble on late at night, Live At The Roxy L.A. has its appetizing moments. “Dance of The Illegal Aliens” and “Nuclear Burn” (the encore for this evening), for example, seem to take on a life of their own on stage.

To date, I’ve only seen the one official live album (Livestock) and two shows from the 1979 tour preserved (the second was at NYC’s Bottom Line). If you want to experience the band’s live show intact, Live At The Roxy L.A. gives you a more authentic experience than Livestock. It’s raw, sure, but history shouldn’t be handled with white gloves.
