Marc Denis, 2007, Q92, New SNO Live @ La Ronde 40th Ann. (1:42:38)

ALL “1967” HITS plus LOCAL RARITIES by the HAUNTED, the RABBLE, les SULTANS, the SCEPTRES, CARNIVAL CONNECTION, les HOU-LOPS and more! This video 'check extravaganza is truly and literally quite “THE RIDE”: It is my first New Saturday Night Oldies show on Q92 (CFQR 92.5 Montreal) after being assigned to this long running program. It's an early Saturday evening LIVE broadcast no less, from 6-8pm, at Montréal’s iconic amusement park, LA RONDE, which was celebrating its 40th ANNIVERSARY that SUMMER of 2007. Like many of you, I had initially experienced the rides and attractions of LA RONDE first hand during the park’s inaugural summer of 1967 with family and friends in my mid-teens, all the while joining over FIFTY MILLION VISITORS (!!) from North America and around the world who took in Montréal’s wildly successful World’s Fair, EXPO ’67, next door to the amusement park, that spring, summer and fall on the surrounding man-made islands. What a thrill it was to be asked to broadcast live on site 40 YEARS LATER in 2007. For the event, I programmed nothing but HITS from THE YEAR 1967, featuring frequent cues to the LOCAL MONTRÉAL MUSIC SCENE of the day, French and English: les SULTANS, the RABBLE, the SCEPTRES, les HOU-LOPS, the HAUNTED, the CARNIVAL CONNECTION, the STACCATOS (the latter from Ottawa) and even a 16-year old up-and-comer from Ville d’Anjou by the name of GINO VANNELLI. I am featuring on thi show his very first rarity single, blending right in with SGT PEPPER and the other radio staples of that magic summer. Combine that with the gleeful squeals of the RIDES THRILL SEEKERS and persistent call-outs from the GAME BARKERS, the ubiquitous scent of POPCORN, HOTDOGS and FRENCH FRIES in the air, the JULY SUN slowly sinking and winking behind the JACQUES CARTIER BRIDGE, RETRO RADIO JINGLES, NOSTALGIA SOUND BYTES and a LOCAL HOMEGROWN BILINGUAL HOST genuinely happy to be there… ...and you’ve got a 40th ANNIVERSARY VIDEO 'CHECK POSTCARD, UN SOUVENIR DE MONTRÉAL!
