Festival Express

A 2003 documentary film capturing the Canadian rock festival train tour of 1970, featuring iconic acts like The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and The Band, living and performing together for five days amidst non-stop jam sessions and partying fueled by alcohol. The concert tour took place in three cities: Toronto, Winnipeg, and Calgary, where the musicians traveled by chartered train to perform live concerts without flying into each city. The event was marked by protests in Toronto, but ultimately peaceful performances across all three stops, with Calgary's show being notable for its subdued atmosphere thanks to police presence.
