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

52 years ago this week, John Lennon and Yoko Ono checked into Room 1742 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in downtown Montreal for a planned week long stay in bed to protest the Vietnam War and ended up making history by writing and recording the iconic anthem "Give Peace A Chance" while in bed. Today, the suite is a Montreal landmark, attracting fans and celebrities from around the world who are still inspired by John and Yoko's peace message.

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

[@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

[@johngore7744]

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.

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

[@simonrancourt7834]

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

The great André Perry!

“Nobody has ever given peace a complete chance.
Gandhi tried it and Martin Luther King tried it and they were shot” - John Lennon
Sad that John followed in their footsteps..

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