Festival Express
The Festival Express was a 1970 tour of Canada by several musical acts, including The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and The Band.
It was unique in that rather than flying to each city, the musicians all traveled by train, fostering an atmosphere of musical creativity and closeness between the performers. The trips between cities were a mix of jam sessions and partying. The tour was also the subject of a documentary film of the same name released in 2003 using film shot during the 1970 tour.
