Notes: John & Yoko had their personal cameraman, Nic Knowland, film their entire "Bed-in" extravaganza starting from when they left England bound for The Bahamas up until they visited Ottawa, 10 days later.
Footage from this doco, apart from the actual Montreal Bed-in, has been listed in separate entries. This entry will focus only on the Montreal bed-in.
This doco was edited in February 1970 and received its premiere at the film festival in New York in December 1970 under the title of "Give Peace a Chance"
but it then seemingly sat on a shelf until 1990 when it was remastered (possibly re-edited) and issued on home video around the World and also on laserdisc in Japan as "John & Yoko: The Bed- in".
It was never re-issued in any formats until, unexpectedly, Yoko made a beautiful clean remastered copy available on her website "Imaginpeace.com" for 3 days only under yet another new title of "Bed Peace".
