Touring the Montreal Hotel Room Where ‘Give Peace A Chance’ Was Born

[@johngore7744]

I’m a Montrealer. I was 8 when this went down and I remember it on the news. I had older siblings and had been hearing the Beatles Stones Dylan etc.since I can remember. This was a big thing. I still live in Montreal and I’ve yet to see the room lol

A funny note. When Nixon had Elvis in the White House to ask him about the British bands influencing kids to take drugs ,John and Yoko were in Ottawa smoking pot with Pierre and Margaret Trudeau at 24 Sussex Drive. That’s how different Canada and the USA used to be. Cheers from Montreal.

*"Give peace a chance"* A message as important today as it was back then.

I have been in this suite a couple of times, while leading tours with German exchange students. It's an incredible experience!

Event at Queen Elizabeth Hotel, Suite 1742, Montreal, Québec. 'Give Peace A Chance' which was recorded by Andre Perry in their Hotel Room on June 1st, 1969

A Québec sound engineer heavily reworked the recording in order to make it listenable.
