FESTIVAL EXPRESS (1970)

Cast

Plot

In 1970, some of the greatest musicians of all time, including Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, The Band, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Buddy Guy, Sha Na Na, Delaney and Bonny, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Ian and Sylvia and the Great Speckled Bird, travelled together on a train across Canada, jamming, tooting, smoking, drinking and staging concerts along the way. Featuring a line up to kill for, including some of the last recorded performances of the sorely missed genius of Joplin, and unique in its access to the bands, not just while performing publicly, but also privately amongst themselves, Festival Express takes you inside what must have been one of the greatest parties ever in a time when rock and roll truly rocked and rolled. Right on!
