Festival Express

Filmed in 1970-and consisting largely of previously unseen
footage-Festival Express documents the eponymous "happening" that was conceived as Canada's answer to Woodstock. What made it unique was that it was portable: for five days, the bands and performers -- including the
Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, among others -- lived, slept, rehearsed and did countless unmentionable things aboard a customized train that traveled from Toronto to Winnipeg to Calgary, with each stop culminating in a mega-concert.

"Rock's great lost concert film, a backstage pass to the wildest and woolliest ride in the history of the music." - Joel Selvin, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
