Notes that came with this recording:

This completes the Boston Brand X trilogy. The 1st time, a quartet 
with no guitar. The second time they brought 2 guitarists, since Goodsall 
didn't feel up to playing a whole show. The third time, it was what most of 
America saw of Brand X 1978, a 5 piece band with Mike Miller, without 
Goodsall. Both these recordings are complete (except 1 flip cut each show about 
46 minutes in) and no major problems this time, although I still had cheesy
mikes at least this time I had 2 of them. Mismatched for sure, probably the 
same ones for both shows, and in keeping with the tradition of variety (this 
and that productions was good at that too) of Brand X Boston 78 concerts, the 
1st 2 were done on TDK-AD, the 10/24 was on Maxell UD, and the 25th on TDK-SA. 
I think the tape quality is very similar on all the recordings. You're getting 
them all from my master tapes, being upped by me for the very first time ever 
(The quartet shows are in a seperate torrent already posted). I mistakenly listed 
Mike Clark as drummer in the Aug. 2, 78 shows I posted, he does play here, the 
August ones have Chuck Burgi. Each of these shows runs about 100 minutes or so. 
They are both complete, very similar quality, and both from my master auds being 
seeded for the first time 08-Feb-28.

I like to upload a variety of bands and recently upped the August shows although 
some folks have waited long and patiently to hear these from a master seeding. 
So the waiting is over. Now everyone can hear the Brand X some got to hear, 
patched and reworked, slowly getting the wagon wheel out of the muck, past that 
brutal Goodsalless and Coping period they had while the rest of America got to see 
the REAL Brand X (in 77 and some also in 79- Boston got Neither, because our stage 
was too small to fit Pert and Dennard)! This is John Goodsall on the comeback trail 
(in 24th show only) from tendonitis, but he manages to play a few songs.
Do not sell this recording (Goodsall is "jonesing" for dollars enough already).

Trade freely and losslessly.
