The Who

5:15 Live at The Royal Albert Hall
27/11/2000
A great bass solo by John "Thunder Fingers" Entwistle...

[@chromemox3319]

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.

[@tabbygail7]

Think so, boy? Your uncle would agree.

[@jimmyjones9802]

John Entwistle and Geddy Lee of Rush ....the who definitely a top 5 greatest band ever ... I seen them in 82 cotton bowl Dallas

[@talibe801]

​@@jimmyjones9802and Chris Squire👍

[@FrancisAndHobbel]

And he wrote Cousin Kevin's song in "Tommy" which is not at all an easy melody!

[@MrAschiff]

@@jimmyjones9802 In rock. Many jazz players are better.

[@bongo2296]

John Entwhistle invented the selfie stick.

[@Anthony_Stuart]

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

[@thecolourrose9022]

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)

[@joelhall5124]

The Ox is a legend. Essentially the Buddy Rich of bass.

[@nickfane6729]

Even in his moments of fast riffing chaos, he keeps near perfect time. Keith Moon wouldn't have worked with a lesser bass player.

Marching Soldier Entwistle. Never let the cohesive group down. Fantastic!

[@moi3557]

No other bass player ever could match this.

[@alexandrutoohill2428]

John Entwistle has to be one of the absolute best bass guitarist ever

[@anticlimacus81]

John Entwistle The Legend... miss you so much,..

[@JohnjEichler-ow7fl]

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.

[@MrCamrox97]

Damn that bass sure can play an entwistle

[@stevevonrumpf9842]

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.

[@ryanschatzberg4651]

Thank you to whoever found this video in its entirety and re-uploaded it to KZbin. I haven’t heard this full version of this masterpiece in 10-15 years

[@coldwar45]

Miss ya John! The Who isn't the same without you, Thunderfingers!

[@shaunhailey1]

John Entwistle is pure legend

[@chrishorton615]

Miss you John Entwistle

[@305Independent]

Perhaps the greatest bass solo in rock history

[@NandoWinck]

Wonderful it's been 23 years since this record and remains original and impossible to copy 🤘🤘🤘

[@thefish5861]

It just amazes me what first class musicians are capable of.

[@robthornton6288]

Absolute brilliance from ALL of them. THE best version of 5:15 I've seen. 👏👏👏👏🤘👍👍

[@johnheer69]

He approached every song like it was a constant bass solo. So smooth.

[@4orrcountry]

John played lead bass - that's why Pete used to play more rhythm than lead guitar.

[@SuperCdawg101]

Miss you ox :(

[@Erniebus]

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]

Don't forget Kenney Jones

[@4orrcountry]

​@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!

[@denniscline2898]

The OX, one of a kind. Best Bass player of all time!

[@6855mike]

THE BEST, PERIOD, END OF DISCUSSION!!

[@FernandoRockPessoa]

The Ox, amazing!

[@JoeBat95]

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.

[@maccentral4042]

The OX !!!!!

[@martinsbarbosa1015]

7:21 the OG drop the bass

[@polkhigh2317]

he doesn't move he just lets his fingers do the talking🤩🤩😍

[@bobk39]

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!! 😊

[@jpdel31]

Man what a banda. ..

[@debbieedwards711]

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. ❤❤❤

[@jeffweller2354]

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

[@ziggymainer]

Entwistle the best............

[@mikehurtubise4115]

Entwhistle,deacon,macca,Mark King,Lynette...so many greats from over there

[@Elyse0917]

LIke this!?!?!? I Freakin LOVE this!!!!!!

[@markdrake4963]

[@MiaCatAdventures]

my favourite Who song - simply brilliant

[@ladystardust4903]

Out of my brain on a train ❤️

[@silverbackgorilla2112]

Great Stuff

[@rachelschaufeld392]

[@PerfDayToday]

Owned this DVD, the Ox solo was the best!

[@jcs7642]

Pete is MAXIMUM R&B... Am so lokking forward to 18 Dec 14, O2 Arena, London. Greatest Band ever!

[@HeyFrank]

The motherfucking OX.

[@Karmakatt6]

When you're this good they call you OX!!

[@lesterquintrell4844]

Best live concert ever!

[@Jomartproducts]

Gotta have the horns.

[@Grievanc]

cuanta energia libera este temaaaaa!!genios!

[@geco691]

unreal,classic

[@WalterSobchak1000]

this is a great show

[@lesterquintrell4844]

beat live concert ever!!!

[@chidchaic6138]

สุดยอด

[@wheelman1324]

And in the distance... Was it thunder? Sounded like thunder.

[@100KGNatty]

Thunderfingers!!!

[@howardthrust]

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!!

[@JohnjEichler-ow7fl]

I miss Keith Moon

[@fatihduran8900]

😭😔

[@NotTheRealRustyShackleford]

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!

[@jaybyhop]

These shows must've been a trip to see. I wish it was this good when I went to see them because it was the only time I fell asleep at a concert.

[@4orrcountry]

The devil booze...

[@63919502]

Date is wrong. It's 27/11/2000 not 2002.

[@patmcc7758]

John Entwistle here is like Chris Squire on steroids.

[@Ptpop]

Is that Zack on drums?

[@roywilliamhardacre6566]

Yes the great Zac Starkey.

[@stevevonrumpf9842]

Yes, Zach on drums.

[@robjgolde3221]

7:47 to 8:05 sounds like someone locked a 400 pound bumblebee in a room and it started tearing the place to shreds.

[@FrancisAndHobbel]

Who is that guy on the piano?

[@Literallyjustcoltseavers]

What bass was John ent whistle playing?

[@4orrcountry]

An Entwistle - John built most of his bass guitars.

[@jettackle1971]

Is the date correct at the beginning? John expired in June 2002?

[@zay-ju8fb]

It's incorrect. This was in November 2000. You are correct poor old John died in June 2002.

[@user-yk3oh2yb8v]

Is that Chris Stanton on piano?

[@marciogimenesruiz]

Moon´s missing...

[@tomedy_official]

You got the date wrong, because john Pentecostals (bass player) Died on 27/06/2002.

[@heynow4512]

Old guy on the bass...what a showoff! 😅😮 Doesn't even move. 😂🎸🎺🎤 !!!

[@organfan668]

Effortless

[@zay-ju8fb]

This was in 2000 not 2002. Poor John was dead by November 2002 so not sure why you even added that lmao

[@RSTI191]

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..

[@sixstringstrummer-ek6il]

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)

[@4orrcountry]

His playing IS, which is the point.

[@antonjentsch704]

was hast du gegen bushido der macht bessere videos als du

[@pa30fps]

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.

[@pa30fps]

@@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.

[@timpikunas4652]

Notice Pete Townsend with the strat and a hot rod DeVille amplifier it looks like a hot rod DeVille

[@timpikunas4652]

And the capo?
