1970. 3 concerts across Canada. The bands travel to them in a train partying and jamming. Great concert footage of The Band , Flying Burrito Brothers, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Buddy Guy, Delaney and Bonnie and a few lesser lights. The footage is augmented by recent interviews with some of the survivors. The promoter is an especially interesting subject with some great stories. the whole deal was basically running at a big loss but his attitude was party on and the bands obviously had a blast. If like me you never had a chance to see any of these bands live then this gives some idea of how dynamic some of these acts were. (I've seen Buddy Guy and he has obviously been turning it on live since the day).
