Festival Express-

After months of waiting I finally got to watch Festival Express. It rocked. I can not wait to see the bonus footage on the DVD. Never heard of this movie? During the summer of 1970 Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, The Band, Buddy Guy and a few other bands jump on a train and spend 5 days traveling across Canada. The cameras were rolling the whole time. They partied and played on the train and did a few festivals over a sleepless 5 days ride. It is an interesting document of a period that is long gone. I am just glad that they filmed it for me to enjoy. Janis puts up some great performances--- She died 3 months later.
