Product: Thunderfingers - John Entwistle - The Who (2006)
Rating: 3.0
Better than nuffin'. Almost.
Compared to an Ox's Tale, this is a tatty production. There is a lot of filler including John just standing in front of his amp noodling solo. Now, I'm a huge JE fan and a bass player myself, but even I can hardly stand to watch another man's noodle, let alone paying for that right. The interviewer and the interviewess frequently appear stiff, or in the case of John's late girlfriend, worse.It would have been nice to see some video of John's 70's band Rigor Mortis, but I'd have settled for some rehashed Who video. Either the producers couldn't afford or didn't bother to get any clearance of Who or Entwistle video material, so this is really a cheapo production. All of that being said, this rates three stars for some of the Entwistle humor poking through, and that there probably isn't much left in the vaults anyway. But if this DVD were a bass, I have no doubt John would have smashed the hell out of it. An Ox's Tale is superior to this.
