From the 77th North American tour, the 1st show of Rochester performance on September 28th and the 2nd show are recorded together with a good quality sound board from the broadcasting master · source. Because Genesis was doing a “silence storm” tour this year, drums are not Phil Collins, but Kenwood Denard is a substitute (the live by this organization is official ‘live stock’ or ‘timeline’ etc. Famous) Anyhow Jazz Rock’s highest peak, excellent fusion of the time, excellent ensemble full of originality to draw a line! Especially P. Jones’ transcendent play will be shown, a masterpiece of technical jazz rock, high speed unison as goosebump thing “Malaga Virgen”, “Whirl Should I Lend You Mine” which can be called culmination of [BRAND X] , A rock and power element is also sufficiently dense, extreme performance played full of tension of straight game. Also check out flexible play which can be spread over the details of Kenwood · Denard (participate in the later works of Pat Martino and Jaco). In addition (Disc 2), as long as I’m glad that I can listen to “Earth Dance” and “Access To Data” that will be premiered this day. A perfect technical collective anger performance with no faults was recorded for 104 minutes plenty.

77年北米ツアーより、9月28日のロチェスター公演の1st.ショーと2nd.ショーを、共に放送用マスター・ソースより良質サウンドボードで収録。この年はジェネシスが「静寂の嵐」ツアーを行っていた為、 ドラムスはフィル・コリンズではなく、ケンウッド・デナードが代役で、（この編成によるライヴはオフィシャル「ライヴストック」や「タイムライン」などで有名）とにかくジャズ・ロックの最高峰の、当時のフュージョンとは一線を画するオリジナリティー溢れるアンサンブルが見事！特にP・ジョーンズの超絶プレイが披露される、テクニカル・ジャズ・ロックの傑作で高速ユニゾンが鳥肌モノの”Malaga Virgen”、[BRAND X]の集大成と云える”Why Should I Lend You Mine”等は、ロック・パワー的要素も充分に濃い、ストレート勝負の緊張感溢れる至極の演奏。また、ケンウッド・デナード（パット・マルティーノやジャコの後期の作品にも参加）の細部に渡り繰り広げられるフレキシブルなプレイも要チェック。更に(Disc 2)収録の、この日が初演になる”Earth Dance”、”Access To Data”が聴けるのも嬉しい限り。非の打ち所の無い、完璧なテクニカル集団怒涛のパフォーマンスをたっぷり104分に渡り収録。
