Even as we speak, I'm sitting here watching 'Queen: Live at Wembley' on VH1C and am just amazed at how good a bassist Mr. Deacon is. Smooth, understated and totally in control. This should be required watching for any aspiring bassist.

I concur! John Deacon is the epitome of style, melody, and great taste within a groove.

That's a great concert. I love watching that DVD. All of them were at the top of their game. Makes me miss the group, and especially Freddie.

"smooth, understated, and totally in control" is a perfect description. i'd add amazing p-bass tone too. i don't think he used any effects. ? fingers->bass->amp= BLISS. oh yea, great songwriter as well!
