[TNAisWWEv2]

OMG look how high Bobby was. This is some great footage.

[jawilliams81]

LOVE IT!

[itzed]

Gosh, I certainly hope there weren't any drugs or alcohol involved here.

[Intelligentactress]

Between Winnipeg & Calgary Pearl is real Dynamite! :)

[XtraPibbDude]

garcia is a cool mother f'er

[SailinJerry]

Jerry loves Janis and Janis loves Rick. Typical.

[currituckco]

@SailinJerry and Rick loves DRUGS

[Brittneyjade1983]

Bob Weir looks about 12 here. lol

[gaoldias]

Danko is sooo baked in this clip...too funny! Rick, Janis and Jerry..thanks for the music.

[JByrd029]

My favorite clip from Festival Express, sucks when there ain't no more caine!

[agathaandpenelope]

Janis Joplin was adorable, ohmygod.

[Convolutedtear]

This is "those" nights you just remember man I can feel the love of that room/car every time I see this

[Jethro719]

@Convolutedtear In the summer of 1970, the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band (among others), did a tour across Canada and went to each stop via a big ol train, and it was dubbed The Festival Express. If you have Netflix, and you want a great snapshot of that era, I highly recommend it !

[Convolutedtear]

@Jethro719 oh thanks I saw it and loved it I just really love this clip in it :)

[sromano07]

wtf is the footage from

[TheAzv3]

They are on some good acid for sure.

[ascheylus]

more talent in one room than in all of today's top 40. and of course jerry just absolutely steals the show..

[fatcatbuzz]

@ascheylus True. I wish there was this much comradery in today music. Shit, even in America culture in general these days. I guess those days are gone with the cell phone and Internet.

[ascheylus]

more talent in one room than in all of today's top 40.

[McQ109]

What a party

[hoowansum]

what model guild is that

[gim145]

man rick could sure party :D

[creamofclapton68]

Danko looks like Springsteen haha.

[danwiderspan]

Weir Did They Go

[trt1105]

Was that Eric Clapton at 2:22??

[zombiejon]

Best Danko vid on the tube..

Anyone know the name of the song they are singing?

Awesome jam session..I would give all of money to be there jamming with them.

Thanks for posting.

[robbytoney09]

@zombiejon ain't no more cane!

[silentdreemz85]

OMG!!!!!!

[TheOneWhoSings1]

Man they are wasted... whoever said this is not Danko... this is certainly Rick Danko.

[THCisbody]

i love watching my idols have fun!!!!

[coyote023]

c'mon weir,garcia,rick danko,janis an all star crowd if there ever was one.ya shoulda been on the river 19 and 10 they were drivin' the women just like they drove the men.

[airnsmke]

looks like a load of fun

[skrabadoo]

RIP Rick!

[skinnyjohnsen]

This is the fuckin' best. Thanks man.

[goodbye41]

great fucking scene...catchin em all trippin balls and playin their damn hearts out

[teedeeiss]

LooseLucy741 - I so agree. That was just soooo sweet of Jerry to do that & so typical of him. He had such a big heart. Bob Weir looks like he's all of 15 (actually 23). OMG, they're all SO YOUNG. Kills me that most of them are dead. Haha, no pun intended. LONG LIVE THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!

[TheDanko44]

classic rick danko . how time passes

away seems like yesterday. god bless rick danko and his family. go cubs!

[thefloyd76]

gotta love Rick, he looks like a little kid having the time of his life! RIP Rick we'll never forget you!

[LooseLucy741]

I love seeing Jerry tell Janis that he loved her since the day he met her. That she was loved is something she needed to hear all the time...something we all do.

[ManFromSaturn]

There are some beautiful people here, but the best dressed has to be John Dawson.

RIP, buddy.

[reallifenamesake]

How messed up do you have to be to ask Janis Joplin if you're okay?

[momogosecow]

i was reading a book on this and tehre all so mess bc there were drinking a HUGE bottle of booze and someone put LSD in it

[TheWalrusman42]

what book?

[caseyjones67]

rick is stonedddddddddd

[ganjisgood]

This video is the shit!!! Many thanks to the camera man!!!

[GDguitarplayer]

you know your impaired when you nees both hands to puff on a cig. that was a pretty skilled manuver there Rick! R.I.P. Brother.

[eddiehead64]

What does Janis say after Garcia's confession? "God's own cop out"? "got his own cup out"?

[77Kendra]

why does rick keep touchn his nose, it's so cute...lol

[77Kendra]

I want on that train

[RaulSuz]

Danko is God.

[milkman52879]

Clearly ... no one was on the influence of drugs in this video

[doctorwingnut]

LOL !!!

[shrewmeister]

Obviously!

[hnh4]

jerry garcia flirting at the end :D

[westofsouth]

the killers bass player is there

[elitt20]

lo maximo..¡

[jxdeluca]

Does anuone know if thats NRPS Dawson sitting left of Janis?

[123daydream321]

about the whole being fucked up thing,i read the book GARCIA and it said that they were all paranoid about bringing aanything else besides alcohol because they did have to cross the border, so they just drank but i dunno ive never seen the video footage, not that it matters what they did but thought id throw it out there

[markadiculous]

I love it when jerry professes his love for janis and then cops out of it!

[turdhole77]

bob weir looks like a kid in a candy store in this video. Hes always looked so young.

[dprestwood9844]

"aint no more cain" by the band

[linfordwoods]

It is 'Aint No More Cane', The Band did a version of this song early in their career but as far as I know it's a traditional song that Levon's Dad taught him when he was young...

[ricieri2]

someone knows the name of this song?

she's awesome in this video!

she was beautiful!

[peacenow94]

its called aint no more crane. its so beautiful.

she was alsome. she was such a turtured soul though

i love them all rick danko is so funny

[bradleynowell522]

Janis is super sexy.

[WarAgainstRacism]

@bradleynowell522 So True...

[pauletaloca]

Great video!

I love Janis Joplin, and I like The Festival Express, was AMAZING!

[returnofthejeni]

@pauletaloca Yes it was!! I really love when Jerry tells Janis that he has loved her ever since he met her...classic!

[mredtheanalyst]

Can this whole movie be had somewhere? Is it available on DVD?

[LIGHTSCAMERAWOLFGANG]

Has anyone heard of sarcasm? Of course, they're doing lots of good drugs and drinking like fish. That's why half of them aren't here anymore.

[austinitesince1979]

someone else already said the word that is on my mind, but i would put it this way: This footage belongs in the dictionary under the definition of the word priceless. Awesome movie! I was looking for this one, thanks!

[revolutionsupporter]

festival express trips my face

THANK YOU JERRY GARCIA

[icedoggy]

That shit is legendary! No drugs or drinkin' goin on here. Especially, great toward the end (4:00) when Jerry and Janis simultaneously suggest "Alberta" (which evidently is an old folk song) as the next song to play because they're on a train through Canada and passing near Alberta. They both crack up heavily and Jerry says "Janis, I've loved ya ever since the day I saw ya." So classic.

[joshwakefield]

Did you watch the movie? They were smoking and tripping and drinking the entire time!

[BluezBro604]

i think ur on drugs if u think no1's high here....there ALL spun outta there gourds....not sayin nethin's wrong with that tho...and i agree...totally classic in every way.

[bkushjohnson]

dude u serious

[suzsuzi]

the ghost of the young Rick Danko and I are in S & M heaven - I spank him and he loves it, he gives me a cunning linguist and I love it - he hurts me and I hurt him and we're laughing our heads off: now just you listen all you other women out there: keep your hands off - he's mine!

[layforDylan]

i dont like you

[09BebeleStrange]

what I wouldn't give..

to leave this time..

this horrid time..

and experience the 60's and 70's.

..what I wouldn't give :(

[DangerousBastard]

Yeah, that would be nice, to go back to the 60's... But then in 30 or 40 years we'd be back here in this musically, spiritually, idealistically dead jaded world. Oh well, the best we can do is accept it and enjoy the ride! ;-)

[falstaffinfection]

don't kid yourself, every time is horrible. you'll long for these days soon.

[deyoungparker]

Amen. During the 70's everyone thought it was a horrible, culturally bankrupt time. Same with the 80's and every decade since.

It's just the passage of time. Good music and art improves with age. Toss in some nostalgia, fuzzy memories of youth, a little Kodachrome, and suddenly you have "the good old days."

Every day is somebody's good ol' day. Everybody's good ol' day was somebody else's horrible modern world.

"Ahh, the 00's, weren't they the BEST?" says the kid born in 2009.

[richflair]

danko is OUT of his mind here

[BlazingLank]

its from Festival Express: 1970... its a movie / documentary about the cross-canadian journey with 3 awesome shows.

[downbeat420604]

haha!!! right on!!!

[Tivnan]

wow man what is this from, this is like my heaven thats where ill go when i die to hang with them

[teledestiny]

this is pretty much how my friends and i party. except not on the festival express

[fatcatbuzz]

Is that Graham Nash in the middle? If only music was this fun no days.

[DangerousBastard]

Hmm... I dont think its Graham Nash. And music can be just as much fun nowadays. Just get a few good friends who play, and some bottles of Jack and you can have fun too! lol

[fatcatbuzz]

True3. I play guitar and tend to listen to the stuff from this era in music. It just seems like to me music is more competitive and less enjoyable to listen to today. Too many commercial sellouts these days and not enough soul in music.

[tabber87]

Jerry, Bob and Janis...

Does Poway not know who RICK FUCKING DANKO WAS?!

[mimpilagi]

woot i`am dutch and i know rick danko from THE BAND with robbie robbertson!!and so on

[terripin99]

nEW MEANING TO...RIDING THAT TRAIN ,HUH??

[monkman42]

when i first saw this i thought how amazing it'd be to sit there with rick danko, janis joplin, jerry, bob, and the gang...

[ralphdesmond]

cuz as we found out on the train, tommorrow never happened! its all the same fucking day, man.

[cassidy1478]

pretty sure i saw ken kesey in the back as well

[m0c0sita]

janis is veryyyyyyyyyyy perfect jajajajajaja

[martinvfphoto]

Janice . . i loved you ever since the day i saw you

[oysterboy9]

nothing like this - this energy - none of it can ever be replaced -

[NYRomanista]

Geez, is that Rick Danko of The Band leading the pack?

[Hippiegeo]

The best is when they stop the train in front of a liquor store to get more booze .

[lgtmelo]

Everybody stoned!

I love this film! I love this vid!

Awesome

[japhyrider]

Wow! I love when jerry tells Janis, "I loved ya ever since I saw ya".

[Mojorising7]

WOW ! ! This was priceless! Will the world ever see the likes of true greatness again...or are we just stuck with all the B.S. Rap Crap?? Well...killer video.

[123octopus]

I'm in a small town in Japan where I don't even have a bar w/ a jukebox (karaoke doesn't count) so, if you're in America, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, or anywhere else they have proper bars & bands just dying to get signed, try going out. I too wonder if anyone will ever match the greatness of the Dead, Janice, Zepplelin, Dylan etc. I really like a lot of House, Techno, & Jungle music though.

[wobrien007]

Gotta be from the 1970 Festival Express that went across Canada. On the other side of Janis from Danko I believe that's John "Marmaduke" Dawson of the New Riders, who is also not deceased to the best of my knowledge. Garcia wrote one of my favorite Dead tunes, "Might As Well" about this tour. I'll bet they had a tiny bit of fun on that train - whaddya think - ?

[joshwakefield]

The guy in the very back with the white shirt and tie!!!! Hilarious!

[briandavisradio]

OMG ! This is SO GREAT !! How raw ! How REAL ! THIS IS AWESOME clip ! Thank you for putting this up !

[flippy1234]

thats rick danko from the band on janis' right what a great moment too bad they're all dead except for weir

[ColourDamage]

that is so classic
