Brand X - Live - The Rites Of Spring Festival 2018 (2018)

It seems odd that in their four decades of existence (admittedly, with some definite gaps in activity) Brand X has never officially released any type of concert video document. Then again, perhaps it's not all that surprising. Brand X has always been a musicians' band. Image never seemed to be a concern. It is fitting that this line-up would be the one to have the honor of being captured in the first Brand X concert film. During its first era, in the late 70s, the band would change its line-up not just from album to album or tour to tour, but sometimes even from night to night. Mind you, this was never a bad thing; Some of the finest musicians in the jazz/fusion/progressive rock movements came through the band, leaving their mark and bringing their own approaches and styles into the performances and recordings. Consequently, it is notable that this current line-up, consisting of founders John Goodsall (guitar) and Percy Jones (bass), along with Chris Clark (keyboards), Scott Weinberger (percussion), and Kenny Grohowski (drums), is one of the most stable that the band has ever had.
And it shows. The band gels and shines. Fans of the band, and aficionados of jazz/fusion, will be blown away by the interpretations of their classic material. The renditions maintain just enough fidelity to their original recordings, but throw in plenty of twists and turns, and inject a whole lot more muscle. Also, whereas, from album to album, the original recordings varied wildly in terms of personnel and production style, in this collection, the sonics are the only constant in a program of varied and dynamic music. Feeling much less like a greatest hits concert, the program plays like a conceptually whole suite.
