Has anybody here heard the Amsterdam 1969 bootleg? It's an amazing show, with one of the earliest, if not the earliest, performance of Tommy live. There's a lot of energy in the show. Great quality, too.

I'll survive. It's only a day this time.

RIP, John. you dumb coke sniffing jerk...


/still mad at him :smash:

Yea I'll get that when I have the chance/money also, thanks for letting us know about that.

I can't say enough good things about Entwistle, honestly. I don't know how anyone could be considered a better rock bassist.

I never really pay attention to him. Or the drumming for that matter. Am I weird?

Yea, it makes me wonder why you listen to the Who.

:' (

poor John.

Good music, I guess. Bass and drums don't make it good although they are good.

*sniff* John.... too bad your greatest song is on a Who compilation most have never heard of.

I'm talking about "When I Was A Boy" on Who's Missing btw ;)

Welcome to the forums, and more specifically, the Who thread. :cool:

Live at Leeds
Wall of sound
Moon fills on Heaven and Hell
Nuff said.

Entwistle and Moon are a wall through that whole album.

hmmm, I think John's greatest song is also one that very few people have heard of (unless they have Live at Leeds), which is Heaven and Hell.

I think John is my favorite member, actually. I'm a drummer, and Keith Moon is my favorite drummer, so you would think using basic logic that he would be my favoirte of the Who. Not true. I like John more :D

HaH is also available on Who's Missing as a studio version, as well as Live at the Isle of Wight. Of course, the Live At Leeds version stomps all over the other two in terms of production, sound, and energy. I absolutely love the 15 seconds or so of crowd, silence, the band setting up, and then suddenly ripping into HaH. The intro to Isle of Wight is just as cool... "a nice rock n' roll band, from Shephard's Bush London, The 'Oo!"... bam, Heaven and Hell. :thumb: Too bad the production of that album sucks arse - I rarely listen to it :(

I don't know why "Heaven and Hell" was never put on a studio album. It's definatly among the top three tracks on LaL. My favorite part is when Roger begins his singing during the jam in the middle.

Maybe they just thought they could never replicate the live power of it in the studio. And they wouldn't have been able to.

If you guys really want to hear some good John stuff played with his own band (he plays his Who stuff, too) get Rhapsody Music Player. It's free for 14 Days so if you don't want to pay just cancel. But to give John a listen they have:

Who's The Bass Player?: The Ox Anthology
King Bisquit Flower Hour Archive Series: John Entwistle Greatest Hits Live
John Entwistle: Left For Live Deluxe

The latter two are stream only, so you can't even buy those anymore. All are fantastic recordings.
