San Diego Reader

A record, plus split-screen reminiscences, of a chartered train trip across Canada in the summer of 1970, carrying Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, the Band, Buddy Guy, Ian and Sylvia, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and others, from a concert date in Toronto to successive dates in Winnipeg and Calgary. The concert footage -- an album's worth of unedited songs -- is nothing special, but the footage of the on-board jam sessions offers privileged access. Directed by Bob Smeaton. 2004.
