  • Correct! This is Ian and Sylvia's band on the "Festival Express". The only members of the Dead visible are Jerry (of course) and Kreutzman (on tamborine). That's not "...Cassidy on bongos" but Buddy Cage on Pedal Steel guitar(he would later replace Jerry on it in the NPRS). Bonnie Bramlett makes a brief appearance towards the end. That's about as much as I can identify.

  • You should add "Ian & Sylvia Tyson" and "Great Speckled Bird" and "Festival Express" to your tags so people can find this. This is great! I'd wanted to see this since I read about it in '71 or so, and the Festival Express movie didn't show this much. Thanks for posting!

  • so much was cut in festival express! imagine how many beautiful moments were cut by the movie makers forever hidden in obscurity?

  • This looks like orginal production timecoded MASTER that venues used to use to document there shows. This is listed as FE-8 which would be Festival Version reel 8...if I am correct. Seen other footage watermarked this way and it was always used by the venues to document the shows for inhouse production. This is ususually that they used to edit the film for production. I am still looking for information on what the 'FE", 'ME', and others code mean. Anybody know?

  • Isn't pigpen in there?

  • Priceless footage, man. Now this is the stuff good things are made of. This is the music I grew up on and I'm 53 now. At that time my older sister was going to college in Oneonta, NY and I got turned on to all of this. She's about 12 yrs. older than me. But THIS is where I was at!

  • Fucking AMAZING!!!!

  • @agstwsthds - my cousin N>D> Smart II on drums. He also played with Mountain, the Remains, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Todd Rundgren, Jesse Winchester, and the Hello People.

  • Incredible

  • @bpbatlaw -yes he did play with Gram Parsons. And later recorded with Jesse Winchester.

  • @jojojosmart Didn't he also play with Gram Parsons? (I don't know of any video, but I think I recall his name from at least one live album from GP post Flying Burrito Brothers.) This footage is certainly interesting, if not stellar.

  • @davidlenander - that's N.D. Smart II on drums. He's mt cousin. I found this video by accident.He played drums with a 60's band called the remains and then with the Hello People produced by Todd Rundgren in the 70's. If you know of any more youtube videos where he's drumming let me know.
