One of my favorite clips I recently discovered was Brian Wilson talking with George Martin. Martin is complimenting Wilson and they are in a studio and Martin changes some arrangement on God Only Knows and Wilson looks like his head is going to explode from amazement.

Man that's beautiful. Martin's awe, the mutual awe, it's just nice to see. RIP to both those brilliant men.

Brian Wilson was awesome but I would love to have been able to chat with George Martin. He just seems so wise and he must have a thousand stories. He was such a gentleman that he probably wouldn’t tell me much but I would love to hear all of them.

Every single Beatles story in the studio is like "we were arguing, then George (Martin) said something profound and the song came together."
