Sinopse
No verão de 1970, um trem fretado cruzou o Canadá levando a bordo alguns dos maiores astros do mundo do rock da época. The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, Buddy Guy e outras lendas viajaram juntas por cinco dias fazendo uma verdadeira festa dia e noite. Durante a jornada, de Toronto a Winnipeg, pararam nas maiores cidades do caminho e fizeram shows que reuniram milhares de espectadores. A viagem, pouco conhecida até então, foi gravada e hoje, mais de 30 anos depois, vira um documentário musical que mostra o dia-a-dia dos músicos durante a viagem, além de exibir os shows, entrevistas e apresentações inéditas de canções como “Cry Baby” e “Me & Bobby McGee”, com Janis Joplin; “Casey Jones”, com Grateful Dead, e “I Shall Be Released”, com The Band, além de uma jam session em “Sunshine of Your Love”, grande sucesso do Cream, de Eric Clapton.
In the summer of 1970, a train, specially chartered for the occasion, raced across Canada. On the train were some of the greatest stars in the world of rock, at the time: Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, Buddy Guy, and other legends traveled together for five days in a veritable round of festivities day and night. From Toronto to Winnipeg, they stopped at the largest cities along the way for shows with audiences of thousands. The journey is little known, but was recorded and today, over 30 years later, it has become a musical documentary showing day-to-day life for the musicians during the trip, in addition to shows, interviews, and hitherto unknown renditions of songs such as "Cry Baby" and "Me & Bobby McGee", with Janis Joplin; "Casey Jones", with Grateful Dead, and "I Shall Be Released", with The Band, in addition to a jam session in "Sunshine of Your Love", a great success by Cream, Eric Clapton.
