Did Neil Aspinall replace George Harrison (who was ill at the time) during The Ed Sullivan Show rehearsals in New York?

I was nine. My grandparents took me to an Italian restaurant and I loved spaghetti. I don't remember there being any pre-hype about that particular Sullivan show, but we always watched it on Sunday night. I know that by the 2nd appearance, the next week, my mother and I had to watch the other TV in another room because they weren't interested in seeing the Beatles again. It all moved very quickly and I remember the 4th grade girls in my class walking down the street together singing Beatles songs. And of course the trading cards with the lousy gum. Everything was black and white. In only six months there was a movie and it was all crazy. There is nothing, and most likely won't be, something like it ever again. Even the Stones simply didn't have the personality to translate back and forth between records and film comedy. And Michael Jackson couldn't either.
