Bob Smeaton Canada-Netherlands / 2003 / DVD / Colour
In the summer of 1970, a pair of Canadian rock promoters, Ken
Walker and Thor Eaton, assembled an amazing list of performers
for a five-day tour that would begin with a concert in Toronto
and then travel by train to Winnipeg and Calgary.The talent
included Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, the Band, the Flying
Burrito Brothers,Delaney and Bonnie, Ian and Sylvia, Buddy Guy
and the oldies band Sha Na Na. A film crew shot it all, recording
priceless moments of collaboration among some of the greatest
figures of that musical generation.
Due to a fight between the festival promoters and the producers
of the movie, the film was never edited and never seen.Now reclaimed
from the Canadian National Archives and cut into dynamic form
by the music-documentary specialist Bob Smeaton (The Genesis
Songbook).
