I have been meaning to pick this song for well over a month now. It is not to be confused with the bass solo during the song 5:15, which can be found here on YouTube; it's sometimes referred to as The Ox as well in reference to one of John Entwistle's nick-names.
This track comes off of the My Generation album and is an instrumental improvisation piece that closed out the album; it has a bit of the feel of surfing music from the 60's. Keith Moon's drumming is the main highlight, he really shines in this song. What an amazing rhythm section; one of the best ever!

Here is a fan video with the song on YouTube.
