It's hard now even for people that are hugely into Beatles history to truly have a sense of how insane it was.

Even my you-have-a-bedtime dad allowed us to stay up and catch their first live Ed Sullivan show.

Might not mean that much to you but that was huge for a pre-teen in my house.

I saw that critique as well.

I did hear a one on one interview he did with Matt Hurwitz about 10 years ago, that seemed to be quite different from his book. I think there's still a transcript of it on YouTube.

Ken Scott kind of backed McCartney's and Emerick"s claim about Harrison being mostly absent during a lot of Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour.

Actually if you watch Peter Jackson's "Get Back", Emerick was pretty spot on about George struggling with writing "Something". He said that Lennon should have been given 3/4s of the songwriting credit on it.

Geoff probably thought of all of the hours of the nonsensical “Mister Show, oh Mister Show” prior. To give one example. Emerick said that George ended up taking a lot John's and Paul's ideas and lyrics to form the album "All Things Must Pass".

The same way that Ringo, John, and George thought about Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is probably how Geoff thought of George overall.
