A two DVD set, 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, Grateful Dead, Great Speckled Bird (Ian & Sylvia) and the Flying Burrito Brothers (without Gram Parsons)perform "Lazy Days". Set in 1970, Festival Express was a multi-band, multi-day extravaganza that captured the spirit of the time. 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. Excellent film and audio quality, excellent performances by the Band, Grateful Dead and worth seeing the Burritos!
