LIVESTOCK

This was the first Brand X album I owned - or heard for that matter. And when I first heard it, my first reaction, as a bass player, was depression. When Percy Jones' bass licks reached my ears, I knew that there was no way I could ever dream of getting to that level of bass mastery. But soon, my feelings on this matured, and Brand X became one of my favorite fusion bands.

The band it incredibly tight, especially considering that this is al live performance. Guitarist John Goodsall and keyboardist Robin Lumley stay in sync perfectly over some of the best playing drummer Phil Collins has ever done (including his work with Genesis). And of course Percy Jones shows off his impossible bass lines.
