Sit down, open your mind, watch, listen, enjoy ...but before all ...START THINKING!

 
Paul the bad one

Strong statement and example how a song can cuts both sides: and as RELEVANT in both sides!
I really hope I will be able to play Bonnie or dance and sing at that age, or simple ....can still be me!

Paul, that was great.  I really love the old lady doing the windmill on the guitar.

Spider Ollie should see this!
And Brother Mike who's Wife was Decaptivated!
I am disappointed about the bass but if I am well informed John could have been playing that on an old Fender!

The man singing is 90 (ninety) for crying out loud! Love that man!

That was great!  Reminds me of an old Harry Nilsson song I'd Rather Be Dead recorded with a senior citizen chorus.   Here's a link to a youtube video on the making.  The song starts at about 6:30 in.  Old people rock!

very funny, although I didn't like the bass solo much, why deviate from entwistle's fantastic original?

why deviate from entwistle's fantastic original
 
Even JE deviated from the original many times.

One of this month's UK's guitar mags (Guitar World?) has a top 10 things-you-should-know-about-JE. He started the recording session for My Generation on a Danelectro, and broke it. He then went out and bought three basses just to be on the safe side. The final cut was done on a Precision.
 
Now here's the rub: legend has it that the earlier solos were a lot more elaborate than the one we all know and love.

thanks

Not quite. It's the Jazz 'axe' bass that he played in the movie 'Tommy' Although it had received a new neck with bound headstock by 1971...
