[beyondalohas]

Soooooooo.... loaded up..... HAaaaaaaaaaaa good times

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

"44 man!"

[ponchobill72]

The greatest part of that movie for sure. Drunken honesty at it's best. I just wish there was more Pig on the train. (~}:)

[QuixoteScura]

That Bob Weir at 1:42 on the right strumming, very cool post

[cstakolich]

This makes me sad. My friends never want to have sing alongs. ):

[Fruscianteistheman]

this film was too short, wish it was like 20 hours long.

[techguync]

Neil Young's face in there, too, no?

[luvya420]

awesome

[JMac6887]

lol... Bobby

[DamonBoykiw]

who's that blonde guy at 4:20 telling jerry he loved him ever since the day he saw him?

[BlackCatCadillac]

@DamonBoykiw Jerry said that to Janis. "Janis, I've loved you ever since the day I saw you."

[DamonBoykiw]

@BlackCatCadillac word, you're right. it is obvious to me now, but i needed your help to change my perspective, cause the camera was on the blonde guy. who is he, anyway? thanks

[K00PAH]

love this video!! nothing better than watching original spunions at their finest

[bulletbill18]

Jerry got totally shut down by janis :(

[greeeenmachine]

@bulletbill18

she was into pigpen anyways...

[bwilburful]

that's Bobby too! Go boy!

[mike78ification]

[mike78ification]

its a clip from festival express 1970 they are drinking booze with acid

[mike78ification]

its a clip from festival express 1970

[ImpossibleTriumph]

what year was this? anyone have an accurate guess?

[Amakisongs]

Rick danko looks just like heroined out john fruciante

[scottyg354]

@milankey No Graham but i think that could be Stephen Stills @ 2:26 . Dwight Yokam was probably a wet dream at the time.

[punkvader77]

3:52 jerry is the best "peace love truth beauty, rock on"!

[MattL0318]

Is this from a documentary? It's pretty fucking epic.

[Dabeydoo62]

@MattL0318 festival express



[fakurb]

Lo que hubiese dado por estar ahí.

[dglavin1]

They're drunk??? Try,,...on a Pillgramage...a dusty, mdmazing pillgramage.

[milankey]

to the people who think this is Graham Nash and Dwight Yoakum on a bus - keep your mouths shut if you're that stupid.

[conboybp]

Bob Weirs gettin down on this one and he didn't do any drugs

[jmon73]

Ain't no more cane on the Brazos. God what a song. What a time. Before the culture cancer that was/is disco. Before RONNIE RAY-GUN. Before it all went to shit.

[enots67]

Danko is trippin balls

[dancingbearwithsiles]

oh yeah this is great :)

[TonyFranciosi]

DANKO!!!!!!!

[grandmachristine42]

! They could probably do this standing on their heads, or hanging upside down from a treelimb or something. !

[randeezydizzle]

These druggies can't handle their alcohol haha

[AreYouExperienc3d]

@randeezydizzle They're obviously also on something else than alcohol

[randeezydizzle]

@AreYouExperienc3d oh yeah no doubt. i'm just sayin, they're hammered as shit

[007adana]

this is from festival express. great movie a must see for any dead head

[TheKenHerrick]

Gotta Laugh!



[tjw3999]

RICK DANKO is the shit just like jack cassidy

[Nobjan]

Watching this and knowing that these behaviors were the norm . . . it's a wonder ANY of us survived.

[TheYankees2300]

Just sick !

[jdtiff]

I love the very end. When Janis Joplin has to check on your well being, I'd say you are in a bad way....

[jdtiff]

2:36 - I can't feel my face! Far out....

[cstakolich]

I've never seen anybody look so happy 

[faceman1995]

what song are they playing at the begin?

[quig66]

Is that Dwight Yokam next to Janis? Can't be.

[BHIUSA]

@quig66 Graham Nash & Rick Danko

[BHIUSA]

Rick Danko & Graham Nash

[randeezydizzle]

@BHIUSA nope not Graham Nash. John Dawson of NRPS

[49RonGuidry]

@quig66 I believe that's John "Marmaduke" Dawson from the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

[chitrankupa]

though theyr stones lik fuck.. i guess then i could : )

[chitrankupa]

these guys are so free, i could never be like that

[HelmutZappa]

Luv that shit

[josephgoodrich]

And don't forget Graham Nash!

[bummerwolf]

4:48 "How you doin' daddy?"

[bwhitless]

Danko is tripping balls.

[twinoak170]

How does one get that stoned?

[RnRanimal]

sad we gotta hammer ourselves to be kids

[RnRanimal]

sad we gotta hammerl ourselves to be kids

[CaptainCatheder]

Old Janis got her some Danko Dingo after the camera stopped rolling

[imajeepster]

@CaptainCatheder

who knows...but i like the interchange between the two of them.

[gtarz40ful]

@CaptainCatheder lmao

[MattL0318]

What is this from? I'll bet anyone that some of the best music ever written was born in sessions like this.

[kdouglas24]

"janis...i love ya ever since the day i saw ya...."

[Coolum1]

Bloody Awesome

[afpm7]

You know Janis tried to screw Danko's flaccid member after this.

[theapple1]

esto no sirve a menos que se lo mames a estos bobos

[spgaran]

 Aaahhh the "60's". The beginning of the end of innocence. What a great time it was to have lived and experienced !!!!

[wswalcott]

Off by 10 seconds. Arlo is at 2:28 drinking vodka or gin

[wswalcott]

Did you notice Arlo Guthrie at 2:38

[mgtp124]

RIP Jerry Garcia too

[peacefuleasy]

god i miss those cats.

[PearlGirl1943]

RIP Janis Joplin, Rick Danko, and Richard Manuel. Gone too soon.

[Boattail]

Bobby is just gamin' Danko. He'd had, at that point, more trips than NASA and Danko was green on the LSD thing. Vintage stuff.

[mkonjhg1]

This is Great, Its On A Bus!

[PhunkyPhishPhan]

@mkonjhg1 Err, last time I checked the Festival Express was a train. :P

[horsefinger]

@mkonjhg1 actually they are on a train 

[brainmucas]

if you guys watch the film, they dosed the wine with blotter. the film is called Festival Express. Enjoy!

[imajeepster]

even that drunk they're better than most people stone sober!

[Owensstarrynight]

@imajeepster That's the them drunk, thats them High as a shit! Mary Jane smacked them with a silly stick. :P

[marc4dfan]

drunk

[Cheeko1111]

Looks like a good chill

[mikewl21555]

well ihikml - not so much. since these cats were in canada, they were afraid of the drug laws - this was a booze tour. they're all likkered up. get the movie and watch it. they stop the train and buy out a liquor store.

[IHIKML]

That's what drugs do to you...:-/

[dvldog73]

no danko is on her right don't know who is on "her left'!!! gotta know your right from left!!!

[SunshineKMJJ]

4:17 OMG! love this moment:D:D

[sscholle]

wo's the guy on Janis' left?

[peachespeaceis]

its rick danko of the band

[sscholle]

thats the guy on Janis' right.

[theintrepidtraveler1]

@sscholle

rick danko is definitely the guy on janis' left.

[cuddleyduddley]

Wow! I feel like I'm inruding on a private moment! Before video cameras were ubiquitous. One moment of happiness. Transcends reality. Rock on!

[skydog1313]

That's John "Marmaduke" Dawson from NRPS on Janis's left. He just died this year from stomach cancer. Only Bobby's left from this jam.

[660stihl]

Absolutly fantastic, three completly wasted talents producing such a personal, warm song.

May they rest in peace...

[kbenner]

Did you happen to catch Jerry towards the end telling Janis that he loved her since the day he saw her. All three are gone now, but what wonderful memories they have left behind for those that got to see them.

[WarAgainstRacism]

Jerry's not dumb...he's trying to get him some...Janis is way too fast she's like a Ritalin Rabbit and Jerry's like a Dopamine Dog - - just hanging low....God Bless em all though - they were some of the brightest stars only seen for such a short time....

[DylanFan51]

It doesn't get an better than this folks! This is just how it was and I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall on the Festival Express ! Legends

having a great time singing while totally stoned.

[tigerlillyo328]

i wab=nt to buy this documentary if anyone knows how to do that let me know

[zizn8r]

and people wonder why hippies are no more

[jesyahoocom]

fuck you these people are fuckin legends fag like someone close to you or maybe even you have never been drunk before fucking closed minded fag

[tigerlillyo328]

aint no more jesyahoocom on the risen...oooo oooo oooo oooo...... leave your bad attitude at home no one wants to see your bullshit.

[ItsOnlyTosho]

I love this on so many levels, its so personal and beautiful, plus theyre so wasted! someone had spiked the booze with lsd hahah

[goodapollofosho]

what booze?

[mykeyopens]

watch the documentary.

[goodapollofosho]

My comment was more of a comical comment on the era, considering they seemed more effected by LSD than Booze.

I don't doubt there was alcohol involved, also WHAT is the name on the Documentary?

[mykeyopens]

ah ha, i understand the humor.lol I'm not sure of the exact name but I know that the tour the were doing was the 'festival express' the would stop at stores and buy tons of liqour actually. in one they bought the promotional bottle of whiskey that was on display,( gallons, a really big bottle) they put a whole bunch of geltabs in the whiskey, they said they could see em floatin around in there... i think i watched it on the sundance channel.. it was awesome.. peace man.

[mattygeetarross]

Festival Express on IFC!!

[stacia8080]

Oh man, I didn't know you could train wreck on a bus.

[punsdaddy]

this is so awesome!!!
