KOCH Records To Release Deluxe Edition Of Classic John Entwistle Band
Performances This Fall
KOCH Records have announced the November 12th release of Left For
Live: Deluxe, a 2 CD set featuring over 20 classic live performances
of the John Entwistle Band compiled from the tour dubbed "Left for
Dead - The Sequel." The full length set, which features Entwistle
solo material alongside Who classics such as "Had Enough" "Heaven &
Hell" and "The Real Me", is being produced by longtime Entwistle
collaborator and drummer Steve Luongo and will feature extensive
liner notes, previously unpublished photos and original artwork
created by Entwistle himself. "John Entwistle was a gift in my life
the likes of which I will never know again." Says Luongo. "He was the
most gifted musician I have ever had the pleasure of playing with and
he was my musical soul mate. A rhythm section is like a musical
marriage -- we had a great one for 15 years."
Entwistle, who passed away June 27th on the eve of the current Who
tour, was perhaps the most celebrated bass guitarist in rock music.
Entwistle pushed the boundaries of the instrument, transforming it in
the process from a strictly rhythm instrument to another lead
instrument in a rock setting. "John did for the bass what Jimi
Hendrix did for the guitar." While known mostly for his unique style
on the bass, as well as some technical innovations that remain in
effect to this day, he also composed some of The Who's most well
known songs, including "Boris The Spider" "Cousin Kevin "and "My
Wife", and his brass and synthesizer arrangements were an integral
part of The Who's overall sound. In addition to his own prolific solo
career, Entwistle also found time for several guest appearances
including a tour as part of Ringo Starr's All Starr Band in 1996.
