Esau Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Well I just finished downloading some footage from Festival Express,looks like its from the origianl source,All tracks are watermarked with film reel ID (?) and a counter. It begins actually at the part where the gal is taking a mouthful of CC from the pump. Also the first minute or so of "Better take Jesus's Hand" with Garcia on acoustic/vocals and Sylvia Tyson audio is silent,but after that it kicks in to the audio.Very rough at first,but cleans up well eventually during CC rider. BTW its on STG under the video torrent threads. It's mpeg. Band Grateful Dead Venue McMahon Stadium Location Calgary, AB, Canada Date 7/3/70 - Friday Track 1 ; 15:28 ; offstage footage % CC Rider Track 2 ; 20:35 ; CC Rider (alt angles) % Don't Ease Me In % New Speedway Boogie Track 3 ; 7:57 ; Easy Wind Track 4 ; 6:29 ; Hard To Handle* *This wasn't in the movie,great footage of PigPen. -------COMMENTS------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Ihor Slabicky circulating video tape copies of Festival Express film footage show the Don't Ease from this show (daytime) , the New Speedway Boogie (electric), and the Hard To Handle. The video also contains a C.C. Rider from this show (nightime) from an all-star Jam. Slabicky lists personnel as follows: Garcia is playing his red Gibson, Kreutzmann on tambourine, Sylvia Tyson of The Great Speckled Bird on vocals with other members of this band Jim Colegrove on bass, Buddy Cage on pedal steel, N.D. Smart on Drums, and Amos Garrett on lead guitar, Delaney Bramlett on guitar, the organ player from Delaney and Bonnie's group, and Ian Tyson on acoustic guitar. C.C. Rider is followed by Will The Circle Be Unbroken, with Bonnie Bramlett on vocals. It has been claimed that there was a free concert following this show during which Janis joined the Dead for Lovelight. Perhaps the all-star Jam Slabicky refers to comes from this free concert, since he identifies it as night-time footage. Dwight Holmes reports that he waited in line for a show at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on 7/5/70, where it was announced around 5:00 PM that the Dead had cancelled. This and the next 3 shows listed (through 7/3/70) were as part of the Trans Continental Pop Festival tour by train across Canada with Janis and the Band among a great many others. See Might As Well for a response (the title quotes Janis). Reporedly there are 100 hours of raw film footage from the tour which may be in process of being edited into a feature documentary. SBD of Janis's awesome set from Toronto 6/27/70 is in circulation; as filler it has two songs listed as from Calgary 7/4/70. Recordings none in circulation 10/00 Contributors Jim Powell % Dwight Holmes % Howard Mott % Ihor Slabicky Caretaker Jim Powell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WOO-HOO!!

Esau Posted September 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Jay, Its a bit rough to start but worth the download,classic Jerry,even with the film ID in the centre of the screen.This isn't from the screening also,it appears to be a raw bootleg of the original source,there was no mention of Fetsival Express ever being released,but I hope it does make it to the shelves. Jaimoe, Sorry I missed ya buddy,I was with a small crew of folks from here: Chickenbutta New Rider & his gal New Riders brother Stoned Free We ended up at a gathering with a few other folks we met up with from Toronto that were at the screening & through a party....given'r all night long. Next time I guess bro,can't wait to read your review. I found another disc I think you would be interested in : ABB "Idle Wind south outtakes".

Groove Fetish Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I've had trouble with Bit torrent- I'll give it a try and post back if I have troubles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted September 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 There has been some trouble there with connecting to the tracker,but you will get connected with persistence,or by just leaving the BT window open and eventually it connects.Then its a fingers crossed thingy,hoping that the seeder keeps his window open or folks who complete the download keep their BT window open,frustrating at times,but I have probally downloaded 50 shows in less than a month,15 of which are some rare Dylan. Cheers T, Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Ya, sorry I missed you Esau. I wore my Robert Johnson t-shirt like I said I would. There was a lot of people there however. My review is coming along very slowly. The Idlewild out-takes does sound interesting, very interesting. I talked to Booche and we'll be getting you some Dead, but it might take awhile. I hope we'll cross paths at the Mule show in October at the Mucis Hall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted September 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Jaimoe, I had on (as usual) a GD tye-dye with a farmer skeleton and a floppy Little Feat hat,if ya seen a mess of dreads hangin out,I was with them. I know I will be in Toronto at the Caution jam shows in early oct. and definatly at Mule,possibly before then,but then again its only a couple weeks away.

Jaimoe Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I won't be at the Caution Jam show mainly because I'm movie at the end of the month. The next show I'm going to is Gov't Mule, then the White Stripes in November. Maybe Primus and the SCI. I don't know. Too many bands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Review of Festival Express is finished. Keep your eyes peeled for it on the main Jambands page. It's more of an essay than a movie review, but I do have some criticisms of the film. I hope everyone likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
