Everyone smiles when John starts shreddin'. (including me)

The Ox. Thunder Fingers. Big Johnny Twinkle! The greatest Bass Guitarist of all time.!

Was it just me or was the bass solo the most amazing thing ever? Ok, it wasn't just me. He was brilliant at the bass. Thank you for posting this! It's AMAZING. :)

john entwistle is the best bass player that world had,has and will have. there would never be anyone like him, i bet it.

John is at his melodic best! Absolutely brilliant and subdued.

It can be acoustic, but it has a pickup and controls on top of the body, where only the player can see them... also a tuner and 9 volt battery holder.

Daltrey ,Entwistle and the Chieftains playing the best of Pete Townsend ! SUPERB MUSIC !!!!

i always loved this version, and the bass solo just makes it

John's solo is so good that I just laugh at the end of it every time. Amazing.

Absolutely

When you hear John play like that on an acoustic instrument...no tricks - all John...

Roger's autobiography brought me here, great clip!

John does with his bass what Pete did with his guitar with a little bit of Keith's drums (which I really miss in this version :( ) John's just awesome!

That was truely EPIC

Two words- blown away. So cute when John gives Rog a little smooch! XD RIP John and Keith.

They turned Behind Blue Eyes into RPG music, pretty cool

In his biography, "hanks a Lot, Mr. Kibblewhite: My Story", Roger Daltrey refers to this performance as the one time that John Entwistle kept it under control and played soft enough not to blow you away. He played louder than Pete at most of the Who's gigs!

First time I've seen this... wow! Entwistle never ceases amaze me!

you SHALL play at carnegie all...

oh wow, i saw this video about 3 years ago and then it was taken off---i think the title was slightly different---but i'm so glad it's back!! i LOVED watching John on the acoustic!!!!!!! fuckin' brilliant

Well, that sure never gets old! Neither do they, even in death!!

John you will always be the greatest!!!!!

Great to see and hear John's solo! =)

If I'm not abused, these are the Chieftains playing with them, sitting behind !!! SUPERB !!

THE BEST BASS PLAYER TO EVER LIVE!!!

I also still have this on vhs when I recorded it years ago.. a real gem

This is awesome. The orchestral-like arrangement works amazingly here.

Such a shame he is gone.

John's solo was for Daltrey that's why it was so good.

My dad's got this on tape. Oh, by the way, we're watching it right now!

Rip thunderfingers!! U r missed greatly

When you have hair like that at age 50, you're a fucking badass. When you play bass like that, you're an ox.

Just one word ..'WOW'......!!!!!!!!!

Roger talk about this show in his biography, it's really fun as he says! Entwistle was a really dam good player.

entwistle,what a man!!!

I can't even begin to describe how much I love this video!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!! Made my weekend!!!

Roger admitted to putting this together with the Chieftains to get a laugh at how quiet they were compared to John's bass as he said "after years and years and years" of putting up with John's loudness.

AWESOME!! thanks for posting. Everything these guys do is brilliant.

The OX!!

Utterly brilliant

This was the best! That middle section. Wow

HE'S A WALL WHEN HE PLAYS, WHAT A LEGEND/GOD!

Pete, You should be very proud of this rendition. Amazing

cheers long live rock 1973 for the post rip john entwistle

Thank you so much for this, you made my night!!! :)

Pete was there....btw it was Roger's 50th birthday celebrated a week early ...in Carnegie Hall Feb 24& 25 th... The tape is out there CD too very special night

Music. Real, got-damned music. Contrast with the auto-toned rap Crap of today....

incredible bass player!

It is awesome

2:28 unleash the Ox!!!

5:08 John suddenly turns into Keith :D

Beautiful and Roger dancing to the merry minstrels had me in tears laughing......

@mcul2112 Yes indeed. That was a good one.

I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free!!! Beautiful.

and I cried

John roubando a cena 😍

Entwhistle was a bass cyborg, not from this planet, he didn't die, they ust came and brought him back home...

Wow. Dave Mustaine famously said "playing acoustic is like trying to have sex with your clothes on" And Entwistle just shredded that acoustic like no one else. RIP

haha no problem :D glad you enjoyed it!!!

2:53

Note the high class pause by John at 2:45....

3:13 Roger screams 'Yeah John' .... YEAH !!!

You should have said: 'Warning, you may die from extreme awesomeness at 2:55-3:34

this is actually pretty good

SiMPLY GREAT! Dopo di loro il diluvio... (after them, the deluge)

I bet Paul McCartney saw this and cried.

this was his birthday celebration at Carnegie Hall

@mcul2112 my pleasure :)

Nice. I remember John Entwistle referring to this tour and saying that Roger's not a good boss to work under.

Other than their embrace at the end of this song, John and Roger never really got along. Sad.

@@learnthroughmusicandlyrics6361 I don't think roger had any animosity towards him neither John, probably in their younger days when Roger was actually hated for all the group.

@profjohnfrinks On the Kids Are Alright bonus disk Roger says that those were his gold records that John shot up. Which makes it exponentially more fantastic in my mind.

i wish mate, i cant seem to find the bloody disc anywhere

God used to use The Ox fingers to play. that's not from this world

Thanks for upload!! Where can I find to download?? Longliverock. Org?

I wonder what's the name or brand of that acoustic bass John is holding...workmanship and sound seems quite beautiful.

It can be, but it's got a pickup, controls, tuner, and battery in it. It an Ovation bass.

anyone who calls this shit or painful should automatically get their rock credentials pulled, as well as their eyes and ears for obviously being oblivious to the plain as day BEAUTY and emotion put forth by the legendary Chieftains, Daltrey and the Ox..i bet it was painful for townsend...cause he missed out on this... Buiochas le Dia.,...

@profjohnfrinks , pull out the tommy gun !!!

the Ox stealing the show.

Man John wants to groove that shit but the goddamn band won't let him...

Roger says on page 135 that he got a kick out of placing John with that band, forcing him to play not so goddamned loud as to drown out Roger's voice like he does at WHO concerts.

dude, only the coolest man alive(or to have lived) would pull a tommy gun and clip out of a guitar case and proceed to shoot his gold records as if they were clay pigeons...

gee, vocal is tight and has hardly a note to refer to
