Grateful Dead - Don't Ease Me In (Festival Express) HD

In the summer of 1970, some of the eras biggest rock stars all took to the rails for Festival Express, a multi-artist, multi-day, multi-city concert tour that captured the spirit and imagination of a generation. What made it unique was that it was portable; for five days, the bands and performers lives, slept, rehearsed and let loose aboard a customized train that traveled from Toronto, to Winnipeg, to Calgary, with each stop culminating in a mega-concert. The entire experience was filmed both off-stage and on, but the extensive footage and sound tapes of the events remained locked away for decades, only recently having been rediscovered and restored. The film Festival Express is a momentous achievement in rock film archaeology which combines the long-lost material with contemporary interviews that add important context to the event nearly 35 years after originally being filmed.

Was there.We smoked several joints of their stuff with them just before they went onstage to play this.
It was far out, man! Jerry was one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet.

I only just read about this train in Bill Kreutzmann's book "Deal".
In future days of space travel, long long away far far ago, people will watch this and wish they could've been a musician aboard this train.

The quality of this video, both video and audio, is quite sharp. The other videos from this show aren’t this crisp
