Festival Express is a rousing record of a little-known, but monumental,
moment in rock n' roll history, starring such music legends as The
Band, The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Buddy Guy, the Flying
Burrito Brothers. 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.
