I´ve never seen a guitarist playing like this.

Who needs stage presence when you're John Entwistle?

Greatest bass player ever. Never forget the Ox.

John Entwistle is absolutely fucking phenomenal, but let's just take a moment to also take our hats off, drop our jaws, and sit in awe at the beastliness of the drummer here!

Thanks for posting this Steve. I was at this show and was thoroughly impressed. I had front row tickets right in front of John. When you played "Boris" I tossed a rubber spider up on stage which landed near John's feet. He eventually picked it up and held it against his face as though it was attacking him. What a cool guy and a fantastic musician. Thanks again.

He called himself a bass guitarist.

He's one of the only bassists that played very fast but still kept the high level

Some how, that cheer wasn't loud enough for that 5 min piece of music HISTORY... RIP John !

My ears still hurt from watching John and Steve at B.B. King's in NY in 2001. More please.

The best bass player who ever walked the Earth!

Love John and he had a major influence on my playing. I saw him at the Fillmore in San Francisco in the '90s and it was thunderously loud. So loud that people were walking around, looking shell-shocked. I had custom earplugs with sound discs that attenuated 25db and I still had to leave a bit early. Great show, phenomenal playing, but actually too loud to enjoy.

Steve, you have done an exemplary job of preserving his legacy. It also seems that you were the only drummer he really "got."

A friend and I saw the JEB in '96 and he signed autographs afterwards. The Ox was a friendly and outgoing while speaking with me and the rest of the fans in the club that night, just like you'd expect a proper English Gent to be. He was one of my heroes and I've missed his musical adventures since but not as much as Roger and Pete I suppose. RIP Ox!
