Description

Archaeological Museum, Old Montreal, Beatles Exhibition

L'Epiphone Casino ES-230TD,[1]
essentiellement une version plus abordable
de la Gibson ES-335, fut peut-être
la guitare électrique la plus appréciée
des Beatles, qui en firent d'ailleurs en
1966 le principal instrument de leur
dernière tournée.

McCartney, puis Lennon et Harrison ont
chacun acquis une Casino. Celle de John,
originalement d'un fini « Teaburst », fut
remise au bois naturel par le musicien
dès son retour de l'Inde, au printemps
1968. Elle devint sa guitare de travail
favorite, comme en témoignent les albums
The Beatles (l'Album blanc), Get Back/
Let It Be et Abbey Road, sans oublier
Live Peace In Toronto 1969.

Cette guitare de Lennon, qui appartient
aujourd'hui à Yoko Ono, a été reproduite
fidèlement sous le nom de Revolution
Casino et offerte en édition limitée en
1999 (406/1965), d'où cet exemplaire.
Collection Gilles Valiquette

The Epiphone Casino ES-230TD,
essentially a less expensive version of
the Gibson ES-335, was perhaps the Beatles'
favorite electric guitar — it was main
instrument they used during their final
tour, in 1966.

First McCartney, then Lennon and
Harrison each bought a Casino. John's
originally had a sunburst finish, but
he stripped it down when he got back
from India in spring 1968. It became
his favourite working guitar, and he used
it on The Beatles (the White Album),
Get Back/Let It Be and Abbey Road,
as well as Live Peace In Toronto 1969.

In 1999, the company released a limited
edition of an exact replica of Lennon's
guitar, today owned by Yoko Ono, calling
it the Revolution Casino. This is No. 406
of the 1965 copies made.

    "​The Beatles in Montréal is an exhibition on the Montréal stopover of this legendary British group that revolutionized pop music around the world, and that also had a profound influence on musical trends that took root right here in Montréal and throughout Québec. ",
    "Designed as an exhibition-experience, The Beatles in Montréal uses this musical event as a starting point for an examination of Montréal history and the emergence of “yéyé” music in 1960s Québec.",
    "September 8, 1964 at the Forum / Upon entering the exhibition room, visitors are immersed into the effervescent atmosphere of the era through recordings showing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr—the four idols—in action on giant screens. The exhibition takes a look at the quartet’s only appearance in Montréal, a stopover lasting less than 12 hours. The Beatles performed just two shows at the Montréal Forum on St. Catherine Street on September 8, 1964, at 4 pm and 8:30 pm; tickets cost $4.50 and $5.50. But what memorable shows! Exhibition visitors can relive The Beatles’ Montréal performance through a soundtrack to the show, on loan from Gilles Valiquette. Never-before-seen photos, some of which are from the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec’s Fonds Antoine Desilets and Fonds Jean-Louis Frund, will literally transport visitors to the show. ",
    "During its presentation from March 29, 2013 to March 30, 2014, 242 880 people visited this exhibition. / The Beatles in Montreal was produced by Pointe-à-Callière, the Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History, and presented by Rouge FM et Musimax.
