  • Check out this footage of Grateful Dead performing "Don't Ease Me In" live during the Festival Express tour in 1970. You can find this performance and many others on Shout! Factory's release of Festival Express. Buy the film here: www.shoutfactory.com/product/...
    In the summer of 1970, some of the eras biggest rock stars all took to the rails for Festival Express, a multi-artist, multi-day, multi-city concert tour that captured the spirit and imagination of a generation. What made it unique was that it was portable; for five days, the bands and performers lives, slept, rehearsed and let loose aboard a customized train that traveled from Toronto, to Winnipeg, to Calgary, with each stop culminating in a mega-concert. The entire experience was filmed both off-stage and on, but the extensive footage and sound tapes of the events remained locked away for decades, only recently having been rediscovered and restored. The film Festival Express is a momentous achievement in rock film archaeology which combines the long-lost material with contemporary interviews that add important context to the event nearly 35 years after originally being filmed.

    I was fortunate enough to have seen the Dead in Vegas in 1994. It was life changing. Before seeing them live I couldn't understand why they had such a huge following. After 3 nights of that show. I finally got it. The Grateful Dead were amazing, a true national treasure.

      So many fans never had the chance to see them live. I saw 178 shows between October 30, 1980 and April 7th, 1995. Most fun I ever had at a show was July 2, 1989 in Foxboro Massachusetts. Jerry and Brent were especially on that day.

    Quite possibly my all-time favourite Grateful Dead song! From their 1st (pre-Major Label signing) limited pressing 7" too! A song which really fits in well with their "Americana/Roots/Country" era of "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty" released during the time of The Festival Express Tour. Excellent performance here too!!

      Leland Talbot from my experience with playing acoustic miced up outside...you cant play the guitar the same way or as good as usual because you have to play harder with your picking hand and it kills the fluidity of the solos...but I still thought it was entertaining..The technology for live music was still being developed ...unlike today. most people plug in acoustic guitars using an internal pick up even that isnt the same as playing a guitar in a quiet room...you get so much more control if you dont have to play harder or louder...ill check out that other version you mentioned.
