Haven't seen this posted before; just came across it on a moment ago - a really good live recording:

Even though I know he was a good player, when you see video's like that that focus on him, you just have to stop and stare with your jaw on the floor at the pure godlike chops that man had.

Wikipedia: Entwistle claimed he was "joking around" when he played the part

[Thunder Fingers]

Yeah, he was pulling someones leg when the original track was recorded!

[FJ1200]

I play just like that. Then it's morning and I have to I wake up!

He makes it look so effortless too.

[Bassassin]

Outrageous. Everyone, but everyone, who has ever wielded a bass in the name of Rock owes the most massive debt to this man. And we are all in his shadow, no exceptions.

Jon.

It's interesting hearing that track played by non-Who musicians - it really goes to show how much The Who sound really was all about Entwhistle. Although to be fair the singer sounds a lot like Roger Daltrey.

Excellent clip.

Awesome - and somehow unexpected. Y'know, some guys slow down as they get older ...
