Video Flagged Dead

Festival Express Trailer

Festival Express toured to three Canadian cities Toronto, Winnipeg and Calgary during the summer of 1970.
The idea was to use the Canadian National Railways train, to encourage an atmosphere of musical creativity and closeness between the performers.
The train rides between cities ultimately became a combination of non-stop jam sessions and partying, fuelled by excess alcohol.
Featuring The Band's Rick Danko, the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, and Janis Joplin.
I've read Joplin died a couple of months after tour.
