John Entwistle Band - The Real Me

[@bigshowradio_550]

Magnificent Entwistleship! Always has the bass begging for mercy.

[@killingheros3554]

The best bass guitarist of all times, so if you all don't believe it, suck it.

[@MrStrat01]

Oh my God that bass.....No doubt, John was the best bass player ever.. RIP Master :-(

[@hellopolly2691]

The OX Inspired a lot of great bass players. I also revere Jack Bruce. Talk about talent.

*Bass Guitarist Any schmuck can be a "bass player"

[@viclagina347]

Les Claypool might have something to say about that, but I agree

[@nodreb123]

I saw his band back in 1997. It was so loud, my ears were buzzing for two days. Nobody gave a crap about his band, they all just wanted to see The Ox play.

[@nickgalik447]

Okay, so obviously The Ox was incredible as always!!! But can we please give praise to the band for being able to keep up? That is some incredibly difficult material to play and sing. Well done!

[@mickdevlin]

Can't gainsay that Nick...the guitarist/singer...why isn't this guy a fucking star?

[@juliebryne2903]

Yes the band was MUCH MUCH better than i thought and entwistle is killin it as usual on bass!

[@stevefaure415]

Hot band for sure, very talented, though I feel like the drummer is trying a little too much to out-Moon Keith Moon and it comes off too showy for my tastes, too many real technical fills substituting for that wild abandon of Moon's. I would have liked to seen that dialed back a few ticks

[@stellaanneee]

anyone that thinks the electric bass is a boring instrument needs to listen to this song...

[@jondunmore4268]

2:43 -- Children, watch, carefully, you'll see the usually-sedentary Ox actually take steps across the stage. This is very rare footage and scientists are still studying it, wondering what the Ox was up to here; has it located another food supply?; is it running from danger?; does it sense a mate nearby? We will never know.

[@joaoborges9666]

I love how it looks like he only did it because he thought there was something wrong with the amp, and that, if it wasn't for that he would've stayed still

[@ricklenahan1481]

It's because he knew he wouldn't get clocked in the head with a whirling mic from Roger

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

That's about the cleverest comment i''ve ever read. Keep up the good work. Yt comments needs more humor, less anger.

[@vc23]

Haha, brilliant comment, I agree with Joao, I think he thought there was some issue with the amp. I have just watched the whole of this concert on someone else's channel, its amazing. This was the only time he walked so far away though, so it was one off unique sight

[@michaelkemp327]

Guitar was too loud.

[@kenanthony1202]

Just like with most of the old concert videos of The Who....THEY DON’T ISOLATE ENOUGH ON THE FREAKING GREATEST BASS PLAYER IN THE WORLD DAMN IT!! Especially this song of all songs where he essentially plays lead bass.

[@lwplwp]

Agreed 💯... My thoughts exactly.

[@bobtransvaal144]

Absolutely. The camera operator has no clue about what is happening in front of him.

[@Peter-976]

Honestly, I want to see him playing this song.

[@killingheros3554]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 True

[@alfredgrillo9745]

Not only was he the greatest he was also the most down to earth unassuming rock star ever. Saw him and this band many times and John would always hang out after shows and talk and sign anything you asked just a real true English Gent. Got to think Keith would have been the same way.

[@chrisk920]

He was a great guy. My band opened for him once. Talk about big shoes to fill!

[@JamesCrandallPainting]

Impressed by the vocals too

[@wildebeast6065]

John Entwistle was A beast!!!! I have to say he put together a great band here. The drummer Steve Luongo is phenomenal Also

[@xblood1978]

I saw John move about 3 inches to the left once, that was back in the seventies, what a day that was!

And today playing on lead bass guitar, John Entwistle!! Just a phenomenal musician!!

[@killingheros3554]

And you still have no idea, his playing skills are even so much farther beyond this playing, which is fantastic, but I read how he plays and this guy is so beyond all others in how he trained his hands and fingers to play.

[@davidcollins3906]

Greatest bass rock song ever and John turns his back on the camera. That camera should on the guy the band is named after.

[@pizzaboy399]

From Quadrophenia's liner notes. Jimmy is talking about The Who: The bass player was a laugh. He never did anything. Nothing. He used to smile sometimes, but the smile would only last half a second and then it would switch off again. My friend Dave said he smiled a lot more at his sister, they were engaged I think. His bass sounded like a bleeding VC10.

[@scottrobinson9752]

WOW... Entwistle is using a stack of A.S.S. PA cabinets as his bass rig. And where the hell did Steve Luongo come from... the most Keith-like drummer I've ever heard! Great stuff!

He called his rig "Little Manhattan".

Man with red vest , singing, that’s how he’s billed, I am not sure if he or anyone else in the band has a name except entwistle 😂

John makes it look easy. But....no one plays like this.

[@timjaeger6589]

The only ones who come close to style and virtuosity are Chris Squire and Geddy Lee. All are very percussive players who fill every inch of space with bass and all who feature very prominently in the mix of their respective bands.
