Video: 'BED PEACE starring John Lennon & Yoko Ono' (May 24, 1969, at 0:14-1:36)

(Saturday, May 24, 1969) — John Lennon of The Beatles and his wife, Yoko Ono, and Ono’s daughter, Kyoko, flew from London to the Bahamas today, hoping to hold their second bed-in for peace.

Lennon and Ono had planned to hold their second bed-in in New York, but Lennon was not allowed into the U.S. because of his 1968 cannabis conviction.

Instead, they intended to hold the event in the Bahamas at the Sheraton Oceanus Hotel in Freeport, but after spending one night in the heat, they decided to move to Montreal.
