Thank you to whoever found this video in its entirety and re-uploaded it to RU-vid. I haven’t heard this full version of this masterpiece in 10-15 years
The best thing about John is he's basically playing like that all the time, not just in solos, he never just follows the beat, yet everything he does fits in so perfectly
but he knew when to turn the intensity down and not 'show off' as much the legend had a god given talent and disipline he is my idol and always will be unfortunatly i wouldnt of had the oppotunity to meet and chat to him (excuse my spelling im pissed)
I told my son that I loved a heavy handed bass player and he asked what do you mean and I told him just check out John Entwistle. That is as well as I could explain myself. Rip. Matthew.
I've been fortunate enough to see The Who perform "live" in every decade since the 1970's. In 2006 and 2022, I was a bit worried, beforehand, about how they would perform, but there was no need for concern as each time they exceeded all expectations. Truly the greatest rock 'n roll band of all time, hands down.
That camera angle from the headstock of John's bass was one of my dad's favorite things, he'd often tell me about it but now that I'm finally seeing it I understand why.
I saw them at Wembley Arena a couple of days earlier. Absolutely amazing gig. Pete Townshend had a cold and still played superbly. John's playing was enormous, and his solo has been imprinted on my memory. Roger was on perfect vocal form and looking cool in his, then 50s. Just a perfect gig. Thanks, chaps!! 😊
As a young man I missed the who in their prime but the fact their music lives on and I know the names of entwistle, moon, daltrey and townshend better than anything this decade has produced says it all. True artists of their time and none of them will be forgotten yet work they produced is timeless!
@JeromeWade-lm8jh A fine drummer but as you know, Jones wasn't the best fit with The Who. Zak Starkey was taught to play the drums by Keith Moon himself!
If the posted date of this performance IS correct...it would CERTAINLY qualify John UNDISPUTABLY as the "Greatest Rock Bass Player of All Time"...as he would have been DEAD for FIVE MONTHS at the time it was recorded!!
I'm going to get shot for this but- I think his tone what that Buzzard blows dead goats. His action is set way too low. Fretbuzz Central. (His preference of course) That bass zero low end..
I agree. I love Entwhistle the man was a genius and he’s easily one of the finest bassist that ever lived. But the tone in this video isn{t great.(Playing is though)
Entwistle was a great bassist -- in his medium, like playing with the Who. Listening to this is like musical masturbation. It does nothing at all. I'd give it 4 thumbs down, if I couldn't give it 5. No-go John, you lose.
@@virginieguichaoua7872 Hardly. I'm a hack bassist, & I know it (& I don't care). I just have fun. It's just annoying when you hear a great musician play something so non-musical.
