On Entertainment


Although I've yet to see the whole thing, I have seen several segments of a rock documentary called "Festival Express". Now I'm hoping to get a chance to see the whole thing. Several legendary rock n' rollers performing live, both onstage and offstage.
In addition to good music, it's also something of a time capsule for the pop music industry in 1970. Things are groovy, there are dudes and cats partyin' and jammin', there are protests , etc....
From the segments I've seen, the most memorable moments are those showing Jerry Garcia who, in 1970, had not yet been ravaged by drug abuse. In the documentary of Woodstock, you only get a brief glimpse of this Garcia. Here you get a full view.
