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.
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'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.
Thank you to whoever found this video in its entirety and re-uploaded it to TH-cam. I haven’t heard this full version of this masterpiece in 10-15 years
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!
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 had the pleasure of seeing him playing this solo with The Who in 2000, great night, Joe Strummer supported them, both John and Joe both sadly missed ☹️
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!! 😊
11:14 Pete Townsend isn’t exactly known for doling out much praise to others. Here, he is so genuinely amazed and laudatory of John. Really great to see!
Pete has never been one who really cared for solos, but even he had to be astonished with some of the stuff John Entwistle would play during the 5:15 solos throughout the 2000 tour. Roger, on the other hand, absolutely loved it, as you can see by his smiling applause.

The Ox! Amazing! The older I gey andcthe more I watch tjos particular concert, I find myself thinking this may have been there best post-Moon performance ever. But since I've seen them live 20+ times, I'm not 100% certain on that, but close!
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.
@@vinie3465 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.
John Entwhistle invented the selfie stick.
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.
John Entwistle is the greatest bass player to ever walk the face of this Earth. I hope I can one day achieve this level of skill.
Think so, boy? Your uncle would agree.
John Entwistle and Geddy Lee of Rush ....the who definitely a top 5 greatest band ever ... I seen them in 82 cotton bowl Dallas
@@jimmy9802-t8jand Chris Squire👍
And he wrote Cousin Kevin's song in "Tommy" which is not at all an easy melody!
@@jimmy9802-t8j In rock. Many jazz players are better.
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

The Ox is a legend. Essentially the Buddy Rich of bass.
Even in his moments of fast riffing chaos, he keeps near perfect time. Keith Moon wouldn't have worked with a lesser bass player.
@@nickfane6729😊
Marching Soldier Entwistle. Never let the cohesive group down. Fantastic!

John Entwistle has to be one of the absolute best bass guitarist ever
“One of”???!
No one else is worthy to hold his pick
No other bass player ever could match this.
Mike Dirnt from Green Day?
Perhaps the greatest bass solo in rock history
Damn that bass sure can play an entwistle
Miss ya John! The Who isn't the same without you, Thunderfingers!
John Entwistle The Legend... miss you so much,..
It just amazes me what first class musicians are capable of.
John Entwistle is pure legend
Absolute brilliance from ALL of them. THE best version of 5:15 I've seen. 👏👏👏👏🤘👍👍
In Heaven and Hell...and on Earth, thunder simply isn't loud enough anymore.
RIP John

Don't forget Kenney Jones
@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!
He approached every song like it was a constant bass solo. So smooth.
John played lead bass - that's why Pete used to play more rhythm than lead guitar.
Miss you John Entwistle
6:16 That might be the sickest fucking sound I've ever heard. This man was a neurosurgeon with that Buzzard.
Absolutely wicked.
Miss you ox :(
Watch this video and you see that The Who is was and always will be one of the absolute greatest bands ever! Thanks for sharing this video. ❤❤❤
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.
Great dad, very observant.
Thank you, @@melissatyree566.
he doesn't move
he just lets his fingers do the talking🤩🤩😍
Wonderful
it's been 23 years since this record
and remains original and impossible to copy 🤘🤘🤘

John showing exactly why he is the greatest bass player of all time...
The OX, one of a kind. Best Bass player of all time!

Indeed rest on peace. There will never be another like him.

Owned this DVD, the Ox solo was the best!

Out of my brain on a train ❤️

Best 11 minutes of the day!!!
The Ox! Amazing! The older I gey andcthe more I watch tjos particular concert, I find myself thinking this may have been there best post-Moon performance ever. But since I've seen them live 20+ times, I'm not 100% certain on that, but close!

cuanta energia libera este temaaaaa!!genios!

unreal,classic
this is a great show
beat live concert ever!!!
And THATS how you do that!!!!!
สุดยอด
7:47 to 8:05 sounds like someone locked a 400 pound bumblebee in a room and it started tearing the place to shreds.
And in the distance... Was it thunder? Sounded like thunder.
Thunderfingers!!!
Gracias a John Entwistle nace Billy Sheehan o Stuart Hamm, sólo por nombrar a los más emblemáticos pero Thunderfingers fue el verdadero pionero.
I miss Keith Moon
Is there a version that is not cropped down from 4:3 to fit widescreen out there? Missing all the finger work on the bass neck cam!
Gotta have the horns.
The motherfucking OX.
Bass guitar player!!
You got the date wrong, because john Pentecostals (bass player)
Died on 27/06/2002.
Yes , John. Is the best bassinet . And mid guitarist.
😭😔
Date is wrong. It's 27/11/2000 not 2002.
Yes. Entwistle died in June of 2002.
I spelled that wrong .
Is that Zack on drums?
Yes the great Zac Starkey.
Yes, Zach on drums.
Is that Chris Stanton on piano?
Who is that guy on the piano?
Is the date correct at the beginning? John expired in June 2002?
It's incorrect. This was in November 2000. You are correct poor old John died in June 2002.
Moon´s missing...
This is at 3/4 power at best. No offense to Mr Starkey (i think). But without Moon, it's not the same
What bass was John ent whistle playing?
An Entwistle - John built most of his bass guitars.
He was playing a Warwick Buzzard this show. I believe it was a series 2 but I could be wrong.
This was in 2000 not 2002. Poor John was dead by November 2002 so not sure why you even added that lmao
Old guy on the bass...what a showoff! 😅😮 Doesn't even move. 😂🎸🎺🎤 !!!
was hast du gegen bushido der macht bessere videos als du
Effortless

Notice Pete Townsend with the strat and a hot rod DeVille amplifier it looks like a hot rod DeVille
And the capo?
Is there a version that is not cropped down from 4:3 to fit widescreen out there? Missing all the finger work on the bass neck cam!
