5.0 out of 5 stars One of Rock's Lost Treasures, 3 Mar 2005
By Mr. Neil R. J. Saint "FrenchSpurs" (France) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Consisting of live performances from the late 60's American Rock Royalty on their eccentric boozy train ride through Canada - The Band, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead being the main players - this DVD is a must buy for any connoiseur of popular modern music. The picture quality is good and the sound is excellent. Narration of events comes from the surviving members of the Grateful Dead,Janis Joplin's backing band, some of the lesser known acts and the actual organiser - a man who stopped the train to go hunting for a bear! However, the Jewels in the crown here are the extras that include: 50 minutes of "extra" performances, a making of documentary and extended interviews of all concerned in putting together this vital document of the Canadian Woodstock...on wheels!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure rock'n'roll, 10 Mar 2005
By paxo (Worthing, West Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
If you are not moved by this DVD, then you are probably dead. This is the greatest collection of live and jammed 60's material I have ever seen. Janis Joplin jamming with the Grateful Dead - need I say more?

4.0 out of 5 stars More Janis on stage needed - but still fascinating, 23 Mar 2005
By Ms. Felicia Davis-burden (Staines, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
A line-up of remarkable music talents: Janis Joplin, Flying Burritos (without Gram Parsons, but including two Byrds!), The Band, Grateful Dead, Ian and Sylvia etc. There are some absolutely wonderful moments, such as Jerry Garcia jamming and flirting with Janis on the train, The Band rocking out on stage (Richard Manual's playing is blissful). I was hoping for more footage of Janis on stage with Full Tilt Boogie, because in those last few months of her life she was getting back to form, as the Pearl album would reveal. Still, this is a fascinating document of a unique musical journey.
