Early Rock Tour Documentary Features Jopin, Dead

[DudeAsInCool]

During the summer of 1970, such iconic acts as Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, The Band and others travelled across the country by CN train to play music festivals in Toronto, Winnipeg and Calgary over five crazy days.

The entire experience, on-stage and off, was filmed extensively but the footage remained scattered across the country, until now, due to a feud between the concert promoters and the film's original producer. And even if Smeaton is no Martin Scorsese in the style department (Woodstock, The Last Waltz), he has some pretty amazing footage to work with.
