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.
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
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!
@@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.
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.
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 RU-vid with her singing lead and being backed up by Chicago!
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.
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'.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 disagree with the comment sixth or seventh song from Rubber Soul to me You Won't See Me Think For Yourself In My Life If I Needed Someone Wait has always been my all time favorites.
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!
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.
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.
McCartney demostrando que así como fue un genio musical también puede despedazar la música, ¡qué espanto! Ya debería retirarse, claro, sin dejar de mencionar a esos espantosos músicos que lo acompañan. .
