Comment
On June 27 and 28, 1970, a touring rock and roll show commonly referred to as the “Festival Express” opened in Toronto. Toronto was the first of three stops of a moveable musical feast; whereas most music festivals of the time were held in a single location, the Festival Express moved from Toronto to Winnipeg and then on to Calgary, with many of the performers including Janis Joplin, The Band, and the Grateful Dead travelling between venues on a Canadian National train chartered by the festival’s organizers.
