Customer Reviews of Festival Express
RIDIN' THAT TRAIN.... This is a jam packed movie about a few sixties rockers riding the rails in Canada circa 1970. If you are into this sort of thing, you should definately check this one out. It's right up there in my top concert picks with WoodstockThe Movie.<
>As many have stated, Janis is pretty much the center of attention performance wise. The director must have had a special interest in her the most, because she gets the most camera time... but the other acts all put on stellar performances as well.<
>Grateful Dead with Pigpen is something everybody should see. There is very little footage that I know of that includes Pigpen (who died in '73) and in my book was the coolest member of the band. He does a version of HARD TO HANDLE that is pisser.<
>Buddy Guy rules too. Proto Jimi Hendrix type, really carries that axe, and does a version of MONEY (Thats What I want) that is without fail, the best performance of the song I've ever witnessed.<
>Then theres performances by The Band, Flying Burrito Brothers and New Riders Of the Purple Sage. However the highlights of the film are the scenes where the bands just hangout on the train, which is really fun to watch. <
>Somehow this little tour ended up going down as a failure, but you won't notice from this movie. In fact there is a scene where Jerry Garcia says the only part he didn't like, was when they stopped it. Great showcase of one of the last great scenes of the hippie era... check it out.
Love Train
This movie is possibly my fave music film! Everybody on the train was having so much fun! <
>Also, in the summer of '71 I rode those very same rails on frieght trains. At the time it was sort of national sport in Canada. It was a wild and loose time then. Everyone wanted to be Jack and Neal. The movie just reminds me of some very good times. You can see why no one wanted it to end.<

>Also the out takes are very good. The best footage of the Dead ever! It shows how important Pig was. After he died I never liked them as much. They were on a real roll then.<
>The whole tour was a one of kind never to be repeated event.
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
Yeah, I hated it as well. They just looked like a bunch of self-indulgent, narcissistic "musicians" (oh, behave!). Definite talent amongst them, but so many sounded sooo overated when put to the old grey whistle test. There were a couple of countrified songs by the Dead that sounded ok, but mostly, the on-stage performances by just about everyone ranged from plain average to abysmal.<
><
>I realise this rockumentary should probably be taken as a period-piece but my advice is to use it as a hair-peace.<
><
>Anyway, I better stop now before my over-industrious hyphenations start to organise and begin a 60's rebellion all on their own. Imagine, horizontal bits of text gettin' hy.<
><
>Give this a wide berth unless you have a pair of them big hippy-style rose coloured glasses on the end of your nose. <

>Woody Guthrie caught trains to get from A to B. These guys were stopping at every letter of the alphabet - if you know what I mean.
