Festival Express is a rousing record of a little-known, but monumental, moment in rock n' roll history, starring such music legends as Janis Joplin, The Band, and the Grateful Dead. Set in 1970, Festival Express was a multi-band, multi-day extravaganza that captured the spirit and imagination of a generation and a nation. What made it unique was that it was portable; for five days, the bands and performers lived, slept, rehearsed and did countless unmentionable things aboard a customized train that traveled from Toronto, to Calgary, to Winnipeg, with each stop culminating in a mega-concert. The entire experience, both off-stage and on, was filmed but the extensive footage remained locked away -- until now. A momentous achievement in rock film archeology, Festival Express combines this long-lost material with contemporary interviews nearly 35 years after it was first filmed.
Shows there is a mean element in every peace movement. These hippies wantded to get this talent for nothing. If only they knew what would come decades later they would have payed double what they didn't want to pay here.

1:35 yeah he's a pig like the rest of them, as he gently as hell takes the mic from you.
this is when cops (at least in Canada), actually gave a shit about protecting people and doing there're jobs, and they did a remarkable job indeed of making sure people who paid got in and had a good time, and people who didn't stayed out, dispite protests and drunken idiots. Dispite all this they STILL got a free GD show out of it, dispite ruining the shows hopes of making money to a show they still saw.
