    If you only had one chance to introduce an album to someone NOT familiar with The Who imo, it would be Quadrophenia. Their most complete album, musically and lyrically. And Entwistle's bass playing is fluid, percussive, and overall just fantastic! Great work and never gets old.

    As a bassist since 69 great job on this. Even though as you said some of these are not your style. It is good to step out of the box every now and then. Someday you may be playing one of your own compositions and think yourself. You know jamerson would have done this little thing right here and then you will will put that in there.

    Such a great video...I appreciate this one. What amazing bass lines. That Stevie Wonder song has such a wild bass line. I've been working on Get Ready and tried that a-note with the open note and with the e-string and have read so many times not to use an open string. But when I use the e-string for the a-note, it rings too long and I'd have to try to mute it, but if I hit the open string, it's not only easier to play but also mutes immediately because you gotta hit the d-note on that fifth fret right away. So, I decided open a-note is the way to go...to hear from you that that's what jamerson did...done deal! Still working on that chorus now at .9x speed because that choris is still fast for me at normal speed....with some practice I'll get it down at normal speed. Thanks again for this vid! Will check out your others.

    Using Rotosound strings really made the difference, their mechanical properties really distinguish them from the flat jazz sound of the fifties and sixties. Chris Squire and Geddy Lee pushed it further but the Ox rules just the same.

    Legends of Bass did a great job. A couple of key points - some of the best bass lines in the Who canon came from Townshend - just listen to Pete's unmatched demos. Also, JE himself said he liked a lot of Pete's lines so much he did not change them. Most of course, he did change, but certainly not all. I saw the Who twice in '76 - great stuff. The other point is, as unhappy as Townshend was with the tapes tour '73, there are many b&w videos from that tour that show how successful they did perform parts of Quadrophenia. One huge problem was that 60's Britian celebreated in Quad was TOTALLY foreign to USA fans. They had no idea what the songs were about. Many had never heard the album. There is nothing remotely similar in our culture. Finally, I know it's sacriliege but the vinyl, original mix of Quad was boring and claustrophobic as hell. It was remixed by JE, in fact. Just listen to Townshend's jaw-dropping demo of Punk & Godfather vs. the original Quad version. Anyway, excellent video.

    A really nice piece - thanks for posting it. For me, it's James Jamerson's playing on'You Can't Hurry Love.' That bass line has been used on so many tunes, such as Stevie Wonder's 'Part Time Lover', Hall & Oates' 'Maneater,' and Phil Collins 'Two Hearts' (co-wrote by Lamont Dozier!).

    Nice work my man. For the record, the Marshall cabs of so much fame are 4 X 12 cabs, not 2 X 12 as you mentioned. Kinda crucial. Kinda became the signature of any rock band’s backline who wanted to push it just a little further, just over the top. Two 4 X 12 cabs stacked is a full stack, and that just screams, “I am a true rock and roller, respect me and my taste in gear, and fear me and my power which could bruise your very soul!” Yep. That’s what it screams.

      Found this online Motown's Los Angeles Musician's Union contracts and Kaye's personal session log-this article reconstructs Kaye's involvement with Motown and, in so doing, reevaluates the merits of the Kaye/Jamerson controversy. From these sources, I document that Kaye played on more than 175 songs for Motown, including as many as five Top 40 hits. These sources confirm that Kaye's place in Motown history is larger than her critics would have us believe

    No small ffeat to play Jamerson's part on "I Was Made To Love Her". But you nailed it impressively. I don't think any songwriter, producer, or vocal artist could conceive a bass part for their music like what Jamerson would come up with on the spot. He possessed such a great musical sense.He seems always to be seeking out interesting non chord tones and inversions that make every song he plays on uniquely appealling. The amount of shear talent that Berry Gordy was able to assemble for his record label is just astonishing. What an era.

    What makes Quad is that there are 4 leads. You can literally listen to each individual all the way through it's entirety. But when you listen as whole you will realize it is the finest album ever written and performed 😉! I honestly believe this to be true...🤣🤣🤣. Sorry
