    And this folks is the exact reason why that even though Entwistle played bass, he was the lead guitarist and Townshend was the rhythm guitarist.

      @@jchis9852 That's probably because you are either an idiot, a total tasteless wanker or both. I've played instrumental parts of it to people (mostly accomplished guitarists) and they often guess they are listening to Cream with comments about how great Eric Clapton is. His lead playing at that time was amazing but he shied away from it or stopped practicing. I've played bass and guitar for about 40 years so I think I pretty well know what the fuck i'm talking about. Also there is no concert film for "Live at Leeds". Nice try.

      @@deathmetaldouglas69 I'll tell you what Dougie, I'll give you that I misspoke about a "Live at Leeds" film. It was the "Live at the Isle of Wight Festival" that I was referring to and guess what, they are both from 1970 just eight months apart from each other and every song on the "L@L" album they had also played at the Isle of Wight show. So Townshend's level of playing was identical at both shows as opposed to if the performances were a few years apart. Now about your other comments...
      Funny how you blow your own horn about playing for 40 years yet you don't have a single video posted of you playing even though you've been on here for ten years. Hmmm, sounds like a bunch of poppycöck to me. Oh, and another thing, if you've played Townshend's work on guitar for your "accomplished guitarists" and they thought it sounded like Clapton from his Cream days, then they really need to get their hearing checked as Clapton and Townshend's playing aren't even close to one another.
      No go away or I shall have to taunt you a second time-a.

      Yes this is Zac- as consistent as a drum machine here. But the discription of Moon/ Entwistle is accurate. Moon is my favorite drummer- I don’t see him as sloppy- his playing was emotionally volitile, but genius. I regret to say that Entwistle ( my favorite bass and all around musician)did his best work with Moon. Here he finally has the Ox Cam, the time/ space, the spotlight we always wanted for him- but his playing misses Moons groove ( I love Zac , really do- just the chemistry) zac is the best Moon Fill replacement- but not rhythm replacement

      Well, it's not like his entire body of work isn't available to the general public to bass opinions on. Just that this particular solo is probably one of his worse. And yeah, his contemporaries would say that. That's a nice thing to say but contemporaries are simply people or things from the same time period and as one of his contemporaries, imo he definitely was not the best rock bass to pick up the instrument even in his prime. He wasn't terrible, just hardly the best.

    Amazing! Saw the Who many times in the late 60’s to late 70’s period, but I don’t recall ‘Thunderfingers’ playing phenomenal bass solos like that.

    English:
    A very innovative bass guitar player. John Entwistle was the first wizard of the bass guitar. He paved the way to all bassists to come after him by using the electric guitar techniques on the bass guitar. John Entwistle has surely influenced bass guitar players like Billy Sheehan, Stuart Hamm and Rudy Sarzo. If there is bass guitar heroes today, it's because of John Entwistle. He played a a big role in the success of The Who. He passed away to soon. R.I.P. John Entwistle.
