He tells some of the same stories over the years, but this was a really great one this year. Love hearing the backstory of how the songs were written, too. Been waiting for him to do this one live for many years. Thanks for watching!
listen to that bass playing through the song, absolutely brilliant, and Paul McCartney has this brilliant knack of being able to sing real rock n roll and gentle, I love his voice, from here there and everywhere to back in the ussr, to name just a few.
If you haven’t heard Paul McCartney tell that story about the bus trip across town to find the guy who knew B7 at least 17 times, you should hand in your Beatles fan card.
it's a brilliant song, not sure if it would have been a hit as a single, it's just an album track, that just goes to show how amazing they were, on a completely different level from anyone else, still are.
In 1974 Anne Murray had a Top 10 hit with it in both Canada AND the U.S. You can even find a live version of it on UA-cam with her singing lead and being backed up by Chicago!
From the night I first saw The Fab Four on the Ed Sullivan Show (on a small 13" inch B&W TV) in February 1964,,,as a 12 year old boy; soon approaching my 13th Birthday...i bought every Beatle album that came out, from Meet the Beatles to their swan song and final opus..the magnificent Abbey Road, I bought every new album that they released, on the day of release! Opening each and every new Beatles album was like celebrating my birthday, and Christmas Day---at the very same time! So much anticipation! Delight and satisfaction guaranteed! Now, approaching New Year's Day and soon to turn 70 in May, the magic is still there; and always will be. You Won't See Me sounds just as good live in 2016, as it did the day I bought Rubber Soul----Beatles 4 Ever! Never will be the likes of them again----ever.
This is McCartney's genius as a songwriter...his incredible ear for melody when constructing a song. His lyrics are superb as well, but he clearly knew from an early age that people can sometimes forget lyrics but they never forget a great melody.
Listen carefully to the bass line on the album (its not prominent but there) and your opinion of this song may take it up one or two places on the album.
Time tell history Rubber Soul was close to issued and they did not finished the whole songs to fill it. Paul and John had to undertake some effort to complete the album. So Paul created You wont see me" and John "In my life", among others. Both changed my life and I think they are among the Beatles Top Ten songs!!!
Lol, "Paul and John had to undertake some effort to complete the album... So John created In my life; If this story is true then I'm very happy that John had to undertake some effort because In my life is one of the top songs ever. I mean, when you have almost the whole album completed and you have to undertake a last effort then you write average songs to complete it, but John wrote In my life.
Honestly, where do you people get this bull shit from ? Do you have a direct line to Apple and Capital Records ? !! "had to undertake some effort"..Oh please, spare me the phoney folklore !
Mark: some people read books and articles by people who were there and can give us an account of how things unfolded. Radical idea, *reading*, I know, but it's useful for all sorts of things. How do we know anything about historical events? Is everything a fantasy unless you were there to witness it? Bloody hell.
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 i was so lucky (as a huge fan of George) to see his very limited 1974 Tour in Loa Angeles, that November. That tour George fought laryngitis; the critics were brutal----but, hey, its George Harrison! Ravi Shankar opened the show; George had Tom Scott and the LA Express backing him up, as well as old friend Billy Preston on keyboards. But the song that will always stick out in my mind----was the one Beatle song George did NOT write. He sand John's "In My Life"...wow, to say it moved me tremendously, doesn't do justice. I will never forget it. BTW....some months later in LA, summer of 75, saw Paul's Wings Over America Tour---his first tour of the States! 4 weeks later...saw the Rolling Stones Tour----which was Ronnie Wood's first as a Rolling Stone, having replaced Mick Taylor, who left the band. So much great music back then, my friend!
I can’t believe even this song that many people are singing it back to him. Incredible. Of course you can predict them singing let it be, hey Jude or others but the fact that this song is being sung back to him is just astounding.
There's a great moment at the end of the middle-8, Paul sings 'I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing' while underneath John sings a perfect counter melody 'No I wouldn't, no I wouldn't'.
So many songs to choose from. It's a great song that was written 45+ years ago. That's why so many of Paul McCartney's songs are truly historical. Everything from the songs were created on the spot with trying different sounds and adding or change lyrics and just recording them without all the computer enhancements they use today and for the last 20 years. It's truly amazing how many songs Paul and John created together or came into the studio with a sentence or idea and ended up with a masterpiece that are still listened to today. Paul always went overboard and added to everyone's songs or rearranged them, but he always did this for the better. And that's why they are still the biggest selling band and listens to today.
I was thinking about people who have been a part of my memory for as long as I have been alive. Most of those people other than my family are dead. Paul and Ringo are still there. Since I was 3yo listening to my sisters record player right up to today. Amazing.
That B7th chord is one of "naughty little chords" that George would refer to with a smile. Shute, as a beginner on guitar back in 1970, it took a few years for myself to teach it to me...whether B7 major or minor. It was The Byrds Roger McGuinn who showed and taught George the augmentations of your basic D Chord, back on The Beatles 65 Tour in Hollyhwood. How to use your pinkie and move the D up and down the neck of your guitar.
@@andrewridge2824 I know, that's the one thing nobody no matter great they are could possibly do, and that's to make up on the spot new and clever stage banter for 1000s and 100s of shows. Of course the man says the same things at every show, he's human. lol
Great version, beautiful chords. I focus on the bass a lot when I listen to RubberSoul, ,this song has an amazing bass line, makes my hand hurt cause he's kind of busily freestyling and you don't get a break till the middle8, love it.
You so lucky Nazzareth----you have your entire life to keep loving him----probably long after he joins John and George in the Great Beyond,...All across the Universe.
A study in descending leading tones with regard to harmony theory. This is the stuff of groups such as Badfinger to the Partridge Family to ELO to Supertramp. It might sound naïve to today's cynical and jaded ears but I unapologetically adore it!
@@ramonarellano4988 Ohh yeah, exactly, I've often said that one of the hardest things to do in this life is to write a good song. A great song? Times 100... I'm a musician, and in my little world of my music community, I've fairly often had friends give me a CD or an MP3 of their songs they've written for my feedback or comments, and I've just had to get used to writing back, ohh very nice, very interesting, nicely done, and all these other bullshit comments I feel they've forced me to make, because to this day, none of them have ever written anything CLOSE to a good song...lol oh well
@@pputnam100 , lol yes , I'm a musician too and I've been trying to write just a single good song in my life, but when I listen to myself I usually end up thinking "nahh, this is bullshit, although to some of my friends I have written a few interesting songs, but it is hard for oneself to like a song when you have a lifetime listening to many artists who have done that, from different types and styles of music, now at my age I think I gave up , lol.
I always thought this song was an Anne Murray original. My exposure to the Beatles did not include Rubber Soul. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I purchased the Rubber Soul CD in the late 1980s. A great album, if not the Beatles best.
I really wonder how could people say that Paul McCartney died and sir Paul McCartney is explaining b7 and the chord structure of how this song was conceived amazing
'We have lost the time, that was so hard to find'; what the hell does mean?. One of Lennon's masterful mish-mashes of the English language. His songs are full of those lines. Probably why he was the best of his generation.
Paul changed guitar chords from original song of Beatles era. I think this version is also good. And I can not understand what he said. but he said "we didn't know B7 chord." Please someone suggests me what he said.

How many artists actually show how a song is written? this is what makes a McCartney show so special. He is a true artist.
He tells some of the same stories over the years, but this was a really great one this year. Love hearing the backstory of how the songs were written, too. Been waiting for him to do this one live for many years. Thanks for watching!
I agree!
brilliant song, one of my favourite Beatles songs, but in the opening verse I didn't realize lions can get engaged, can they?
listen to that bass playing through the song, absolutely brilliant, and Paul McCartney has this brilliant knack of being able to sing real rock n roll and gentle, I love his voice, from here there and everywhere to back in the ussr, to name just a few.
I’ve read that the bass line was made to honor James Jamerson
I'm 64 years old & the Beatles has inspired me frm a boy to a old man. They will be in my heart till i die.
God bless us all.
Now I feel obligated to make a When I'm 64 joke but I can't think of one :(
I’m 23 years behind you, Douglas, and I couldn’t agree more
I'm right there with you. I don't know what I'll miss when I'm gone but I'm so glad the Beatles were here in my time slot.
Born with the gift of melody. Pure genius.
If you haven’t heard Paul McCartney tell that story about the bus trip across town to find the guy who knew B7 at least 17 times, you should hand in your Beatles fan card.
I have all their albums but I still get pleasantly surprised when I'm reminded of a gem I'd forgotten about - like this song. Superb.
The melody's McCartney created from so many amazing songs will never be surpassed.
*melodies*
Not in this age and ages thereafter
A genius for melody yes for sure !
@@randomuser964 Yeh, he IS a music god

@@duncandavenport7007 Yes, Anne Murray did a very fine job of the song, I recall at the time of release it receiving decent good radio play.
Those harmony vocals!
He is the best person who has ever graced this planet ! The music entertainment and joy he has given the world is unsurpassable !
This is one of my favorite Beatles songs. John's "No I wouldn't, no I wouldn't" vocal in this McCartney song is what made the Beatles great.
@dasreich8307 I feel EXACTLY the same way! And I thought I was the only one...
@@MacTeee You have a good ear
Extraordinaria composición la melodía la harmonía los coros.y la letra.para mi en lo más alto de sus composiciones.
How blessed we all are to be on this planet at the same time as Paul McCartney..
Can not get enough of him and his Music !!!! Love the guy
His voice is started to fade, but what a contribution he made to the life of a lot of people through his music in the whole world.
I recently sat down and listened to Rubber Soul in its entirety....TRANSFIXED is an understatement!
Such a great album!
IT is brillant. And think one man with. One guitar and were All sold
I can sing and play 7 instruments and Sir Paul still makes me feel like a beginner. May God bless Paul McCartney. ( And I think He has )
He is a god himself
Awesome the way he started this performance. Heard it in a whole new way. Brilliant melody.

He really does have an incredible ear for melody, and it's especially evident in some of his fantastic bass lines.

Very well said my friend.
Probably the sixth or seventh best song on Rubber Soul and it’s this good
Listen carefully to the bass line on the album (its not prominent but there) and your opinion of this song may take it up one or two places on the album.
Yesssssss, in fact it is my fav song.
Its my favorite song on Rubber Soul
in my life is the best in rubber soul
Still a Top 10 song
Time tell history Rubber Soul was close to issued and they did not finished the whole songs to fill it. Paul and John had to undertake some effort to complete the album.

Beautiful man
I cant thank paul enough for touring my country ! thankyou paulie! very blessed

Those deslikes are from people who can't play the chord B7

This is Paul’s song and he wrote the lyrics
It's a McCartney lyric.

The guy who drew the Beatle logo got just his comission.he came up with the drop T
who would it be?

genial
What's even funnier, is along with chords like A, D, E, and G7, The Beatles used B7 constantly in their songs.

Thank's👉
Paul the Music Wizzard
John Lennon once said i don't want to be singing she loves you when i'm 40, wonder what he would have made of Paul singing this at 75
Lennon changed his mind about things by the day so who knows what his opinion would have been about something 50 years later
@Margaret McEvoy that would have been really nic
Paul said the same thing but changed his mind
So that's how the rhythm guitar must be played! I'm dead
this is a completely different take on the playstyle does anyone have this version noted out?
Is he singing about Jane Asher?
"Faul" is great.
yep
