The Who - A Quick One (While He's Away), Live at Leeds 1970
Another incredible song by the loudest band in the world! This mini rock opera is from A Quick One album, 1966. The song tells the story of an unnamed girl whose lover has been gone "for nearly a year". Her friends inform her that they "have a remedy"; the remedy comes in the form of Ivor the Engine Driver. When the lover returns, the girl confesses her infidelity, and she is ultimately forgiven.
Amazing bassline, with fingerstyle and picking, also rolling off and on the tones. Really cool and fun to play!
Thanks for watching!
Cox

The rock and roll circus version is my favorite performance of all time…but I think the bass playing here is as good or better. Think of all the subtle tweaks that genius must have thought of given the two months between R&R C and LaL!

Have you all heard the “cello cello cello“ story? They wanted to hire a cello player to play that part… But they were still so new and so broke that kid Lambert wouldn’t let him do it, so… They just simply saying the words “cello, cello, cello, cello“ Clever, and hilarious.

Discovering your channel today has put a smile on my face! After 40 years of playing only guitar, I’m taking up bass (mine arrives tomorrow) and The Ox is the first bassist I want to study - and here you are, showing us the way: the tone, the stance, the techniques, the stoicism- all uncannily accurate! Keep up the good work.

I love A Quick One. I have to admit I much prefer the version from the Stones' Rock & Roll Circus (68). I suppose because it was the first live version I had heard (on the Kids Are Alright film/soundtrack).

i always wondered why on 'YOUNG MAN BLUES' from 'LEEDS' the bass sound is so different from the rest of the album i wondered if maybe he played a different bass for that tune or whatever but having watched this i know now he simply backed the treble all the way off on that one like he did on the first section of this tune,

@coxbassman968 3 жыл бұрын

Exactly! He backed the treble also in Heaven and Hell, Can't Explain, Fortune Teller and also in Overture (Tommy's section)

@@coxbassman968 ENTWISTLE was also asked about using fingers vs. using a pick and he said it often just came down to what he felt like using at the moment. he sometimes did entire gigs with a pick which you can actually see in alot of old WHO footage.

Thanks! Yes you're right, it's a WIIO. I bought it years ago because they said it was perfect for Who's stuff. Actually it is only an overdrive pedal and I'm not very satisfied with it.. It cuts off the treble and it has too much overdrive. It's great with a guitar

@melancholyman96 2 жыл бұрын

@@coxbassman968 I can't say anything about WIIO, since I didn't have it in use, but I have a CB30 and a Fender Princeton Reverb, and once I decided to buy a VOX AC15HW, so, comparing them head-on, I liked the sound of my Princeton with a pedal that emulates VOX more than the real VOX. 😄
