Festival Express



Well once again I could not sleep well. So I got up at 4a.m. and threw in the dvd "Festival Express". It is about 3 concerts in Canada in 1970 and the party the bands had. They took a train across Canada and partied along the way. It seems like they had a whole ton of fun. This is "The Band" playing a fantastic and very moving version of "I Shall Be Released". You can feel it in the vocals. Just close your eyes and listen the first time.

Yeah; good laid back music. I wonder if any of today's rock bands can get down to basics like this?

I have a hard time thinking there are many bands today that can do this.
