My Dark Hour" was recorded in a late-night session on 9 May 1969 after an acrimonious argument between McCartney, Lennon, Harrison and Ringo over signing a contract appointing Klein as The Beatles' financial manager. Lennon, Harrison and Starr walked out, while McCartney remained at Olympic Studios. Miller was the only member of the band to attend the session, and the song emerged from him and McCartney jamming. The primary guitar riff on "My Dark Hour" was also used on Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle." The primary guitar riff on "Space Cowboy" uses the same riff as "Lady Madonna," owing perhaps to McCartney's involvement on "My Dark Hour" and allied permission. (spektrum)
