KRCL's Music Meets Movies: Festival Express

KRCL's Music Meets Movies returns with a packed season of great documentaries, concert films and one music adjacent cult classic. We kick off the season with the 2003 documentary Festival Express.

The Grateful Dead, The Band, Janis Joplin and friends got on a train in the summer of 1970. They jammed all night, all day, and occasionally stopped to play a concert in the Great White North. Somehow, this was all filmed. That film, Festival Express.

Special pre-film introduction from host of KRCL's Brand New Day, John Florence.
