The Who - Christmas [Live at Hull] - Bass Cover
The Who - Christmas, Live at Hull, 1970
The song tells how on Christmas morning, Tommy's father is worried about Tommy's future, and soul. His future is jeopardized due to being deaf, dumb, and blind. The lyrics contrast religious themes such as Christmas and Jesus Christ with Tommy's ignorance of such matters. The rhetorical question, "How can he be saved from the eternal grave?" is asked about Tommy's condition and adds speculation as to the nature of original sin and eternal salvation. In the middle of the song, "Tommy can you hear me?" is repeated, with Tommy responding, "See me, feel me, touch me, heal me."
The song makes repeated use of suspended fourth chords that resolve to triads. ...

The 4th song from the rock opera Tommy (1969), following Sparks, a small instrumental part with John's bass solo.

The Who, I Can't Explain (live at Leeds 1970). A powerful version of the famous single. I really like how John and Keith mixed their techniques together to make this unique rhythm. Here John worked a lot with the right hand, with a lot of galloping and ghost notes. Thanks for watching! Cox

    You're really great, even the way you stand reminds me of the Ox. I wonder if you're familiar with the bass line from the movie version of Acid Queen. I'm pretty sure it's Entwistle, but I've never seen anyone cover it or been able to find tabs or a tutorial of it. Thanks for sharing these!

      @@shantypiker41367 Thank you! Unironically me too! Live at Leeds inspired me in everything. I started around 11yo as a guitarist and I was a beatle fan but then I switched to bass because of that cool Hofner bass. Then one day my sister came in my room and gave me some CDs to listen to. I saw the Live at Leeds one and I was intrigued. After few minutes of listening everything became clear. The day after I was playing bass over the songs trying to play like John. That album really changed my life

    Nice playing and great tone. What's cool about this video too, is that when I see the shadow of the low E tuning peg, it's looks like a long haired guy ( Jim Morrison maybe) standing on a hillside. The A and G tuning pegs might be trees. Not quite sure what the D peg is. ....maybe it's just a D peg.

      Thank you for notice that! That part was very tricky due to speeding tempo and fast licks, and yeah I missed some notes and licks I agree.

I would love to try an Hiwatt setup head+412cab through a bass just to know what it feels like but sadly they're really rare around here. Never ever tried one. I'm trying my best to recreate using budget pedals or amps the Live at Leeds bass sound which I think is one of the coolest bass sound EVER, no contest. But who knows maybe one day I'll get it... :)
