He agrees, provided he selects his own commander, condition then accepted. He first chose Jim Lovell, but he was already selected for the Gemini 12 mission. Lennon then hesitated between James McDivitt, Charles Conrad, Thomas Stafford and Walter Schirra. It is finally Stafford who is chosen, McDivitt as a reservist. Gemini 13 is set to depart on December 29, 1966. The goal is to break the Gemini 7 flight record and attempt an extravehicular ride for the two astronauts. Lennon has to return quickly to England to train and set up Strawberry Fields Forever in his spare time. NASA then created a British industry in London, NASA-Beatles, to train British astronauts. Paul McCartney is then selected as a reservist if John Lennon is unavailable.

While Sgt. Pepper's officially released in America, the Beatles learn that the record was listened to the day before at Expo 67 in Montreal. John chooses the same city to give the Beatles concert. The other three Beatles are rather reluctant, because Ringo was treated as a Jew by the Montrealer in 1964. Fortunately, Quebec is in full revolution, Tranquil and moreover, fascism is very badly seen by society. However, there is also the rise of Quebec nationalism, resulting in the promotion of French. A British band performing in Quebec would then cool the subject, even if in France, anglophone groups were accepted, including Beatles 2 years earlier. John then asks Brian Epstein, their manager, to send a telegram to Jean Drapeau, the mayor of Montreal at the time, to tell him and his people.
June 3, 1967
Jean Drapeau receives the telegram. He discusses with some politicians to know how to proceed to the proposal of the Beatles. Indeed, the telegram specifies that the band has stopped the tours because of the events of the fair sex that cover their music. We must also take into account the incidents of the previous American tour, some fans have misunderstood about John on Jesus despite the accuracy.

Indeed, the soldiers of the army are gathered around the public, political personalities (Jean Drapeau, Charles de Gaulle, Elizabeth II, Lyndon B. Johnson, Daniel Johnson, Jackie Kennedy, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, etc.) whereas several Police are mobilized in the stands, where the fans sit. During the concert, the fans are irritated by the blinking warning to shout during the songs and scream loudly to make their voice heard screaming. George begins to get bored in the middle of the show but agrees to play one last song. However, during the same song, a fan manages to escape the security and speed towards the stage. Drapeau, informed of the Beatles that all admirers have tried to stage, that the non-lethal cartridges are issued, so that their message is transmitted to the Beatlemania and they are interrupted during concerts. The groupie has actually got a non-lethal bullet on the leg. The show was interrupted, the boys having had the jump. Many people are frightened by the girl who is suffering. At the end of 30 minutes, while the groupie is transported to the hospital and it is announced that it is not blessed, the concert resumes with the songs and sweet and this time, no scream. The hysteria of Beatlemania is now over. Later, John succeeds in reproducing the song Tomorrow never knows on stage. In fact, he is content to manipulate a sound table containing the song. The concert is filmed and recorded. The recording will be released at the 1968 New Year as a live album under the title The Beatles: Live at Expo 67 (The Beatles: Vive le Québec libre! In Quebec, The Beatles in Montreal in international French). The title And your bird can sing is not there, for an obvious reason. The video will become a special film broadcast on April 28, 1968, one day after Expo 67, on Radio-Québec. And Your Can Sing Bird, explain what happened. At the end of the concert, John pronounces the French word and announces that he is already subject to Quebec deserves all it takes for it to be England, in the same way as the United Kingdom, France, the States United States, Germany and Canada. He yells (in french) "Long live free Quebec! And "Quebec French Forever !!! That caused the euphoria in the crowd while the other three Beatles remain silent, too worried about the consequences they want to return to England.
August 31, 1967
The Beatles leave Expo 67 with good memories. Before leaving, John informs Drapeau that Montreal will have a baseball team in 1969 and summer Olympics in 1976.

He agrees, provided he selects his own commander, condition then accepted. He first chose Jim Lovell, but he was already selected for the Gemini 12 mission. Lennon then hesitated between James McDivitt, Charles Conrad, Thomas Stafford and Walter Schirra. It is finally Stafford who is chosen, McDivitt as a reservist. Gemini 13 is set to depart on December 29, 1966. The goal is to break the Gemini 7 flight record and attempt an extravehicular ride for the two astronauts. Lennon has to return quickly to England to train and set up Strawberry Fields Forever in his spare time. NASA then created a British industry in London, NASA-Beatles, to train British astronauts.

June 2, 1967
While Sgt. Pepper's officially released in America, the Beatles learn that the record was listened to the day before at Expo 67 in Montreal. John chooses the same city to give the Beatles concert. The other three Beatles are rather reluctant, because Ringo was treated as a Jew by the Montrealer in 1964. Fortunately, Quebec is in full revolution, Tranquil and moreover, fascism is very badly seen by society. However, there is also the rise of Quebec nationalism, resulting in the promotion of French. A British band performing in Quebec would then cool the subject, even if in France, anglophone groups were accepted, including Beatles 2 years earlier. John then asks Brian Epstein, their manager, to send a telegram to Jean Drapeau, the mayor of Montreal at the time, to tell him and his people.
June 3, 1967
Jean Drapeau receives the telegram. He discusses with some politicians to know how to proceed to the proposal of the Beatles. Indeed, the telegram specifies that the band has stopped the tours because of the events of the fair sex that cover their music. We must also take into account the incidents of the previous American tour, some fans have misunderstood about John on Jesus despite the accuracy.
June 4, 1967

Indeed, the soldiers of the army are gathered around the public, political personalities (Jean Drapeau, Charles de Gaulle, Elizabeth II, Lyndon B. Johnson, Daniel Johnson, Jackie Kennedy, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, etc.) whereas several Police are mobilized in the stands, where the fans sit. During the concert, the fans are irritated by the blinking warning to shout during the songs and scream loudly to make their voice heard screaming. George begins to get bored in the middle of the show but agrees to play one last song. However, during the same song, a fan manages to escape the security and speed towards the stage. Drapeau, informed of the Beatles that all admirers have tried to stage, that the non-lethal cartridges are issued, so that their message is transmitted to the Beatlemania and they are interrupted during concerts. The groupie has actually got a non-lethal bullet on the leg. The show was interrupted, the boys having had the jump. Many people are frightened by the girl who is suffering. At the end of 30 minutes, while the groupie is transported to the hospital and it is announced that it is not blessed, the concert resumes with the songs and sweet and this time, no scream. The hysteria of Beatlemania is now over. Later, John succeeds in reproducing the song Tomorrow never knows on stage. In fact, he is content to manipulate a sound table containing the song. The concert is filmed and recorded. The recording will be released at the 1968 New Year as a live album under the title The Beatles: Live at Expo 67 (The Beatles: Vive le Québec libre! In Quebec, The Beatles in Montreal in international French). The title And your bird can sing is not there, for an obvious reason. The video will become a special film broadcast on April 28, 1968, one day after Expo 67, on Radio-Québec. And Your Can Sing Bird, explain what happened. At the end of the concert, John pronounces the French word and announces that he is already subject to Quebec deserves all it takes for it to be England, in the same way as the United Kingdom, France, the States United States, Germany and Canada. He yells (in french) "Long live free Quebec! And "Quebec French Forever !!! That caused the euphoria in the crowd while the other three Beatles remain silent, too worried about the consequences they want to return to England.
August 31, 1967
The Beatles leave Expo 67 with good memories. Before leaving, John informs Drapeau that Montreal will have a baseball team in 1969 and summer Olympics in 1976.
