Paul McCartney - You Won't See Me (live 2016)

Paul McCartney performing The Beatles' "You Won't See Me" live at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. on the One On One Tour. 8/10/16

[@fromchomleystreet]

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.

[@bernieconlee6063]

How many artists actually show how a song is written? this is what makes a McCartney show so special. He is a true artist.

[@mrcoaster1]

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!

[@emymummy1]

I agree!

[@pauldickinson6943]

brilliant song, one of my favourite Beatles songs, but in the opening verse I didn't realize lions can get engaged, can they?

[@pauldickinson6943]

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.

[@erlanferia6888]

I’ve read that the bass line was made to honor James Jamerson

Probably the sixth or seventh best song on Rubber Soul and it’s this good

[@gdholmfirth]

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.

[@tigerlight430]

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'.

Love that bit in the song.

[@boofhead36]

Born with the gift of melody. Pure genius.

[@johnnyM809]

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.

[@mrcoaster1]

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

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!!!

[@mrcoaster1]

It was a pretty amazing creative period, for sure. Nearly everything was so incredible at that time.

[@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212]

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.

[@MarkInLA]

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 !

[@pixiewings21_9]

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.

[@donriley3349]

@@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!

How blessed we all are to be on this planet at the same time as Paul McCartney..

[@pixiewings21_9]

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.

[@donriley3349]

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.

[@bigsirenguy]

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.

[@user-vz8rl5tq4u]

I hope the guy that taught them the 'B7' chord was paid royalties

[@andrewridge2824]

He should get royalties all right, less for providing the chord than for being a part of a story that McCartney has told over and over again.

[@donriley3349]

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.

[@timothybradley7414]

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.
