Re: Interviews,anyone?



He refers to the show "last night in Montreal," so this was recorded April 14, 1970, the day of their show in Ottawa. Plant complains about a negative newspaper review and the DJ says, "I'll pass the word here in town," so it's a good bet it was the Montreal station, CFOX, 1470 AM. (The call letters later belonged to a Vancouver FM station.) See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFOX -- one of their big coups was getting exclusive access to John and Yoko's bed-in at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel.

Waitaminnit, waitamminit... researching while writing and bingo!

Former station DJ Marc Denis has a web site; the same interview is posted on the page above. The DJ/interviewer was Roger Scott and the conversation was in a hotel room. Most likely a Montreal hotel, before the band headed for Ottawa (it's only a 2 1/2-hour drive between the cities).

My guess is that the radio station's call letter may have changed since
1970....
