Festival Express

Last Minute Sales & Specials

"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, and the Grateful Dead. Set in 1970, "Festival Express" was a multi-band, multi-day extravaganza that captured the spirit and imagination of a generation and a nation. 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.
