The song was 80% John but also 100% Beatles --- that's the main thing. In fact, anytime I hear any of their solo works, I still think of them as Beatle tunes, since, when you come right down to it, that's exactly what Beatle tunes were --- songs by John, Paul, George and Ringo. Beatles Forever!
And it shows how it was never underrated as someone said here. It could not be because it is part of Rubber Soul. The whole album was like a single song in diferent tunes...It was a continuation. The Beatles changed the way people would see albums. It was not anymore a collection of songs. It was almost like a symphony...
This is my favorite Beatles song. I just think its so different from all their other repertoire. There's no other like it. Too bad the Beatles didn't do a live version of it back in the day. Thank you Paul!
@@380_pound_black_womans_sto3 tbh, I prefer hard days night, to revolver and sgt pepper both. The best albums, of each era, hard days night is best of early era. Rubber soul is best of middle era (middle era is really just revolver, and rubber soul, with a possibility of pepper which is in the middle of late and middle era, but leans to middle era, or maybe it’s in its own era with magical mystery tour, and revolver, with Rubber soul and help getting their own. And white album is best of late era.
I found this song off rubber soul after I'd forgotten about it and here I go again on another Beatles binge and it makes you realize over and over again that Lennon/Mcartney was and still is the best writing team EVER 😊
A lot of people got caught up in the hype, but if u stopped & really listened, u'd hear a sound completely new, never heard before. They were ground breaking & brilliant!
I wonder what John would have said about Paul Singing the songs he wrote ? or songs even have written together, Paul now singing John's Parts ? It just changes the songs and I ( even though a former John in Beatlemania groups ) can't ever imagine John having done that to Paul......... George or Ringo. A side note - John basically gave George the lyrics in ' Something ' that George was having months worth of problems with, John told him to make up anything, even if it doesn't make any sense. John Gave George " I really like some cauliflower " Which George Immediately changed to " Attracts me like no other lover " - the Best line in the song !!!!!
Released late 1965 - Can't get over how this song is the first musical breath of the peace and love era of the late 60's, with the Beatles as the first evangelistic gurus.
I was there and it was great. I'm goimg to see Macca again the day after tomorrow (December 6th, Wienna, Austria). Saw Ringo this Summer (also Wienna).
The vocal harmony of the Beatles and Beach Boys and many Doo Wop magic hits is always there but why does the music industry reject it nowadays? Im an amateur musician and Ive seen, and I have played with a few of the new talents and they do still exist but the industry push them back.

Hello chaps! Can ya ear me? Can ya ear me? Great! Isn't that Great? Anyway this next sonk, this next sonk were gonna sing was written mainly by John. This is one of johns babies. I may have helped with a couple oohs and awes but it's mainly John ya know. I had the privilege of being the only one who wrote with him and he came up with this catchy gem! It's an oldie but goody called The Word!
He doesn't dare doing the amazing melodic bass runs he played on the record...Not surprisingly...Nobody would probably notice, and they are hard as hell to play.
ive seen paul twice, when he came to my country, i met him twice besides the concert. One of them right in front of my house. his coming again so im going to see him in concert for the third time
This song was 80% John's and was very much ahead of its time back in 1965. That is the reason why it sounds so fresh nowadays.
The song was 80% John but also 100% Beatles --- that's the main thing. In fact, anytime I hear any of their solo works, I still think of them as Beatle tunes, since, when you come right down to it, that's exactly what Beatle tunes were --- songs by John, Paul, George and Ringo. Beatles Forever!
The most underrated Beatles track. Or at least one of them! Too many to chose from!
It's their best
totally agree, always consider this track as the best song in the album
@@brucechen6708 Better than Norwegian Wood and In My Life?
@@yourtubesteak In my opinion, definitely
It’s definitely the brightest song on the album.
If I was there and didn't know what song was next, those piano notes at 0:06 gave it away.
true
Right lol
Yeah i noticed that too
Lennon and McCartney are to modern pop / rock what Motzart and Chopin are to classical and Romantic piano. Two icons who will never ever be equaled.
I couldn't have said it any better.
This is an album track from a 1965 album - and the crowd in a foreign country knows every word - amazing!!
Absolutely, my friend. Music is the one universal language! 💖🎶💐🎼
Rubber Soul is a beloved record for ALL Beatles fans! No doubt they knew every “WORD!”
And it shows how it was never underrated as someone said here. It could not be because it is part of Rubber Soul. The whole album was like a single song in diferent tunes...It was a continuation. The Beatles changed the way people would see albums. It was not anymore a collection of songs. It was almost like a symphony...
With the Beatles, there are no foreign countries. Also, With the Beatles is a great album, too!.
Fantastic
Have you heard, the Word is Love!
the WORD described in the Beatles "The Word", is the key to the Beatles - and the answer for the entire world ...... LOVE
I'm envious...I've seen Paul 7 times and he's never played this tune. Oh well...I guess he can't play them all! lol
No John's voice magic here. RIP
This is my favorite Beatles song. I just think its so different from all their other repertoire. There's no other like it. Too bad the Beatles didn't do a live version of it back in the day. Thank you Paul!
Also mine.
I guess we felt the Force in it. It was REAL LOVE
Silly and Stein actually nail the final descent harmonies better than the lads themselves.
Definetely one My favourites ever.....so ahead of it's time, it Even sounds modern now in 2023!!! Beatles& Paul forever
One of my favorite tunes by them.
I don't care how old Paul is or how old he gets, He's just so darn cute !!!
***** I always thought him cute, too - I must admit. But I trust you're cute also.
It's great to hear him play tunes from one of the best pre-Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles albums. "The Word" from Rubber Soul (US version)
The Word appeared on the British version of Rubber Soul too
@@Bellocks1 I'm sure that the US version is really important to statesidees
All is right with the world but the common theme of Peppers being the high water mark is absurd and needs to stop.
@@380_pound_black_womans_sto3 tbh, I prefer hard days night, to revolver and sgt pepper both. The best albums, of each era, hard days night is best of early era.

And white album is best of late era.
@@CartersRemasters i agree with u
I AGREE with ANYONE who says Paul is STILL cute and amazing even in his 70s he still looks and sounds great a true legend I LOVE PAUL!!!
rubber soul is my favourite
I found this song off rubber soul after I'd forgotten about it and here I go again on another Beatles binge and it makes you realize over and over again that Lennon/Mcartney was and still is the best writing team EVER 😊
First time ever live!??? Wow this audience got hella lucky!!!!!!! 😆
It's about time he covered this. John's first slogan song. And it's Rubber Soul, man. What's better than that?
A lot of people got caught up in the hype, but if u stopped & really listened, u'd hear a sound completely new, never heard before. They were ground breaking & brilliant!
Fab.
Love hearing paul singing John’s part ❤
That's because John is dead.
@@ktcarl yes
I wonder what John would have said about Paul Singing the songs he wrote ? or songs even have written together, Paul now singing John's Parts ? It just changes the songs and I ( even though a former John in Beatlemania groups ) can't ever imagine John having done that to Paul......... George or Ringo.

John Gave George " I really like some cauliflower " Which George Immediately changed to " Attracts me like no other lover " - the Best line in the song !!!!!
John sang I Saw Her Standing There with Elton John in 1974 so I don’t think he’d care too much about Paul doing one of his songs
Was listening to Rubber Soul and I was so focused, I started hearing the bass more clearly and man what a great feeling to hear it
This "word" was probably the "word" that help to understand the meaning key of everthing .
the word is Love
The bass !!! Man McCartney still kicking butts
Abe is on fire! And I love this song better than ever
This classic John and Paul masterpiece has always sent shivers up my spine. Put this tune on your stereo and "turn it up!"
The funkiest Beatles song! Those bass lines!!!
A legend lives! Buuut John where are you?? The whole world is missing you!!1
Dead
Still plays the amazing bassline perfectly
I was there! Macca's best concert I've ever been to.
Paul did a good job on the parts that John did on lead
PAUL MADE JOHN SOUND LIKE A MUSICIAN
Its a great song and this version is very good but you miss Johns raw vocals
@@wobblybobengland both complemented each other perfect harmonies and both talented
@@wobblybobengland 🙄
Pretty underrated, the precursor to All You Need Is Love
sIN DUDA.
It's sad not hearing John sing this
Fantastic song 🎵
This was awesome one of my favourites from rubber soul 🔥🔥
WOOOOOOWWW
Tiene un ritmazo y unas letra esta cancion dignos de ser destacados.
I love this song. Word.
wow, this is great. Love this song...
Paul's bass is so cool. I mean so hot.
What a fine rhythm group Paul & Abe are! Great song.
Excellent!!
Released late 1965 - Can't get over how this song is the first musical breath of the peace and love era of the late 60's, with the Beatles as the first evangelistic gurus.
Gran Paul Mccartney. Una buenisima cancion para mi gusto. The Word. EXCELENTE.
I friggin love this song! Everything about it!!❤️
Rubber Soul - a fabulous album from the era before the Fab Four fried their brains on acid and went goofy.
Such an awesome tune from Rubber Soul! One of my favorites
They sound damned good!
Way up in my favorite Beatles song list. Brilliant.
Class act!
Underrated song. McCartney’s piano part (played here by Wix) and his bass (simple but riveting and amazing) really make the song.
Only underrated to the unappreciative. We know better.
Been a Beatle fan since I was 5, I’m 62. Watch Paul bob his head at the beginning...funky
Beatles music is still great to listen to. It doesn't get old! Paul rocks it.
Their songs seems fresh each time, that’s how they are amazing musicians!
wow he played this show on my 5th birthday and the same day the curiosity rover was launched!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS! One of my all time favorites by The Beatles! :)
Timeless Legend ✨🎬
'The word never sounded better.A true legend and so much more.Happy Holidays all.
It was also this show that he also did 'Come And Get It' for the first time too!
Such he shame neither of them stayed in his set!
I wish he did more of these deep cuts! Change it up, What Your’re Doing from Beatles for Sale
Seconda volta che lo vedo e...già penso quando potrò rivederlo per la terza volta :-) E' una energia, un'emozione unica!
I was there and it was great. I'm goimg to see Macca again the day after tomorrow (December 6th, Wienna, Austria). Saw Ringo this Summer (also Wienna).
Lennon and mccartney
great! it sounds even better LIVE than in studio!
ced95570 im disagree
Well yeah, Paul's a bassist and the bass has a lot more room to breathe live
The vocal harmony of the Beatles and Beach Boys and many Doo Wop magic hits is always there but why does the music industry reject it nowadays? Im an amateur musician and Ive seen, and I have played with a few of the new talents and they do still exist but the industry push them back.
It's amazing how he can still come up with new hits (and I really mean "hits") played live for the first time! FAB!

Say the word love

When I was a kid and first discovering theBealtes, I was so blown away to see any of theBeatles even acknowledge any of the other Beatles.
grandissimo Paul greatest
Il migliore
grande grande
He doesn't dare doing the amazing melodic bass runs he played on the record...Not surprisingly...Nobody would probably notice, and they are hard as hell to play.
he pretty much plays the bass line note for note as on the recording here
Amazing !
thank you for sharing :)
C'ero anch'io! Un sogno!
Groovy!!!!
Didn't get to see him perform this
If you just watched the video, yes you did.
Grazie per aver condiviso questo momento unico. La versione live di "The Word" era molto bella. Saluti dal Brasile!
how amazing live FAB !!
awesome!!
Meraviglioso...questa è la terza volta che vedo Paul ed è sempre magnifico! Che emozione!!!
Che sogno magnifico!!!!!! Indimenticabile!!!!
