A custom music video for the song Nowhere Man from Rubber Soul in 1965. I uploaded this back in November, but it's back to stay. The footage is from the concerts at Budokan and the Circus-Krone in Germany and Japan.
"Nowhere Man" is a song by The Beatles, from their hit album Rubber Soul (in the U.S. on the Yesterday ... and Today album). The song was primarily written by John Lennon but Paul McCartney helped to "polish off the rough edges."
It was recorded on 21 and 22 October 1965. "Nowhere Man" is among the very first Beatles songs to be entirely unrelated to romance or love, and marks a notable instance of Lennon's philosophically-oriented songwriting. It was released as a single (although not in the UK) on 15 February 1966, and reached #1 in Australia and Canada and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Lennon, McCartney and George Harrison sing the song in three-part harmony.
Lennon, however, claimed that he wrote the song about himself. He wrote it after wracking his brain in desperation for five hours, trying to come up with another song for Rubber Soul. Lennon told Playboy: "I'd spent five hours that morning trying to write a song that was meaningful and good, and I finally gave up and lay down. Then 'Nowhere Man' came, words and music, the whole damn thing as I lay down".

  • @no1cfielder . George was most vocal in his annoyance about this which even by mid sixties /Japanese (anybodys) standards , was pretty shit to have to put up with but the video sequence of the various venues ,in synch with the singing on here , are exellently put together and well done to to the Quarrymen58 on a great job .

  • nice vid

  • We should transmit this one into space...

  • Just skip to 00:48. What. A. Legend. <3 <3 <3 George <3 <3 <3

  • Paul McCartney's bass part in this is incredible! I can't begin to imagine singing while playing this, as he did in live performances. I believe they call this a walking bass.

  • @drakex90 Those microphones refused to stay put throughout their appearance in Japan....

  • Fucking epic.

  • 1:21

    George: Paul, give me the damn microphone.

  • LISTEN to this kind of music...OTHERWISE you dont know what you're missing :)

  • @khorn1994 - he/she still is (and Facebook also). Subscribe and you'll be posted new uploads and etc. To date the work that "TheQuarrymen58" has put out deserves an A+... :)
