I Shall Be Released Lyrics- The Band- Festival Express

Festival Express is a 2003 documentary film about a 1970 train tour across Canada taken by some of the world's biggest rock bands, including The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band and Delaney & Bonnie & Friends.[ The film combines live footage shot during the 1970 concerts, as well as footage aboard the train itself, interspersed with present-day interviews with tour participants sharing their often humorous recollections of the events.
"I Shall Be Released" is a 1967 song written by Bob Dylan. The Band played it on their debut album, Music from Big Pink (1968), with Richard Manuel singing lead vocals, and Rick Danko and Levon Helm harmonizing in the chorus. A legendary performance of the song was performed near the end of The Band's farewell concert.

This video makes me weep. At one time, the People of Canada owned CN Rail; hundreds of train stations; hotels (Chateau Laurier, Queen Elizabeth,Jasper Park Lodge); roundhouses; CN OfficeTowers in Edmonton and London, Ontario; over 60,000 acres of land. The Canada Lands Company, a.k.a. CN Real Estate, gutted the Crown Corporation, known as "The People's Railway".

@70sforever1 definitely find the film if you can...really interesting tour and film. the tour itself was a financial disaster because the 'kids' kept insisting on every show being free (being the post-woodstock expectation) to the point of clashing with the cops...amazingly, rob weir and others sided with the police in the clashes over ticket prices ("is ten bucks worth a guy being in a hospital?") a most interesing turn to see from counterculture/anti-authority icons.
