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. :)
You give The Ox a bass He will rock it become a god of it You give The Ox an acoustic bass He will rock it and become a god of it You give The Ox a Double bass He will rock it become god of it
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!
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!
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.
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
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
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
@@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.
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...

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...
Everyone smiles when John starts shreddin'. (including me)
The Ox. Thunder Fingers. Big Johnny Twinkle! The greatest Bass Guitarist of all time.!
john entwistle is the best bass player that world had,has and will have. there would never be anyone like him, i bet it.

You give The Ox a bass
He will rock it become a god of it
You give The Ox an acoustic bass
He will rock it and become a god of it
You give The Ox a Double bass
He will rock it become god of it
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.
John's solo is so good that I just laugh at the end of it every time. Amazing.
Absolutely
John is at his melodic best! Absolutely brilliant and subdued.
Daltrey ,Entwistle and the Chieftains playing the best of Pete Townsend !
SUPERB MUSIC !!!!
When you hear John play like that on an acoustic instrument...no tricks - all John...
i always loved this version, and the bass solo just makes it
First time I've seen this... wow!
Entwistle never ceases amaze me!
Two words- blown away. So cute when John gives Rog a little smooch! XD RIP John and Keith.
That was truely EPIC
John you will always be the greatest!!!!!
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!
They turned Behind Blue Eyes into RPG music, pretty cool
you SHALL play at carnegie all...

Well, that sure never gets old! Neither do they, even in death!!
THE BEST BASS PLAYER TO EVER LIVE!!!
Roger's autobiography brought me here, great clip!
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.
If I'm not abused, these are the Chieftains playing with them, sitting behind !!! SUPERB !!
Such a shame he is gone.
Just one word ..'WOW'......!!!!!!!!!
Rip thunderfingers!! U r missed greatly
Great to see and hear John's solo! =)
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
entwistle,what a man!!!
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.
John's solo was for Daltrey that's why it was so good.
The OX!!
Roger talk about this show in his biography, it's really fun as he says! Entwistle was a really dam good player.
HE'S A WALL WHEN HE PLAYS, WHAT A LEGEND/GOD!
When you have hair like that at age 50, you're a fucking badass.
When you play bass like that, you're an ox.
This was the best! That middle section. Wow
Utterly brilliant
cheers long live rock 1973 for the post rip john entwistle
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free!!!
Beautiful.
My dad's got this on tape. Oh, by the way, we're watching it right now!

Beautiful and Roger dancing to the merry minstrels had me in tears laughing......
incredible bass player!
AWESOME!! thanks for posting. Everything these guys do is brilliant.
Pete, You should be very proud of this rendition. Amazing

The tape is out there CD too very special night
@mcul2112 Yes indeed. That was a good one.
2:53
Entwhistle was a bass cyborg, not from this planet, he didn't die, they ust came and brought him back home...
It is awesome
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
2:28 unleash the Ox!!!
Music. Real, got-damned music. Contrast with the auto-toned rap Crap of today....
and I cried
John roubando a cena 😍
Note the high class pause by John at 2:45....
Thank you so much for this, you made my night!!! :)
5:08 John suddenly turns into Keith :D
I bet Paul McCartney saw this and cried.
haha no problem :D glad you enjoyed it!!!
You should have said: 'Warning, you may die from extreme awesomeness at 2:55-3:34
3:13 Roger screams 'Yeah John' .... YEAH !!!
@mcul2112 my pleasure :)
SiMPLY GREAT!
Dopo di loro il diluvio... (after them, the deluge)
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.
God used to use The Ox fingers to play.
that's not from this world
this is actually pretty good
this was his birthday celebration at Carnegie Hall
@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 wonder what's the name or brand of that acoustic bass John is holding...workmanship and sound seems quite beautiful.
That's an Ovation bass. First one I've seen, but I have an Ovation guitar.
i wish mate, i cant seem to find the bloody disc anywhere
Thanks for upload!! Where can I find to download?? Longliverock. Org?

Thumbs up if you skipped to 2:55
Who else is here from Rodgers book
is that an acoustic bass
It can be, but it's got a pickup, controls, tuner, and battery in it. It an Ovation bass.
now, was this after or before daltrey's 50th birthday because i know he celebrated that at carnegie hall too
This IS Roger's 50th birthday celebration, according to p. 135 of his book.
do you have the whole thing?
the Ox stealing the show.
oh haha my b
Man John wants to groove that shit but the goddamn band won't let him...

@profjohnfrinks , pull out the tommy gun !!!
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
He's not JPJ, but hey, still good ....
JPJ *is* a joke.
