Taper's Comments:
"The Cellar Door" was a very small, but great room that held about 200 people packed in like sardines. Years later DC's Fire Marshal's forced the club to reduce their capacity to about 125 people. The club tried to continue, but financially couldn't do it. I believe today it houses the office of Cellar Door Productions, which is or was a major booking agency, if they are still around.
Brand X were a great Jazz Fusion group started up as a side rpoject with Phil Collins from Genesis, back when they were still a Prog act. Phil generally only recorded with them, and all the shows I saw, he was not present. I think this is by far the best recording I got of them.
