Documentary of a tour in 1970 across Canada by a bunch of performers-The Band, Joplin, The Dead, Buddy Guy to name a few. This wonderful document of the trip of a life time is amazing to watch. I can only imagine what we didn't see as we get to see not only the performers on stage (Joplin is godlike) and on the train jamming. The jamming was- wow.I wish we could have seen more of that. At times the performances are ragged and raw but they are so much more alive then the carefully balanced and perfectly structured shows of today. If you like any of the people who perform this is a must see. (Seeing it again recently on on one of the VOOM stations in HD and it was like seeing it for the first time.)
