I got it, and the performances here are so much better than Woodstock. Janis Joplin gets 2 numbers instead of 1 this time around, and she just burns down the house the whole time. You actually see The Grateful Dead and The Band in this DVD, and their performances are superb. The Flying Burrito Brothers, Buddy Guy (d'ya see the awkward fat gut holding Buddy's cord?), Mashmakhan, & Ian & Sylvia and The Great Speckled Bird are also really great performances.

Sha Na Na sounds exactly the same here as they did at Woodstock, except for a few key changes at the end, but in essence their versions of "At The Hop" from Woodstock and "Rock & Roll Is Here To Stay" from Festival Express, are essentially the same fucking song with different lyrics!!!!! Talk about dull!

 

One thing, in the DVD special features of "Festival Express" they show a few performances that were left out of the movie. There's a band that do a song called "Thirteen -something-" (I forget the title). Does anybody know what band that is?

 

Haha, Buddy Guy's performance was great, but sort of confusing. When he came down off of the stage, it seemed a little pointless, and that fat guy was funny. Buddy Guy just seems a lil' weird, in a Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute, he holds one guitar note for about eight measures..

Hehe, in both DVD's, Sha Na Na does nothing but make me laugh.


Festival Express and Woodstock are both awesome in their own ways, Woodstock is more of a movie to me than a Rockumentary, and vice versa for the Express. Love them both. Express is a bit short, though, and performances cut from Woodstock, even if for good reason, still dissapoint me a little bit. I've got The Dead from Woodstock, though.. nothing great.

 

Seatrain - Thirteen Questions.

The extras were very cool. Tom Rush's performance should've been included, without a doubt one of the most emotional and beautiful performances I've ever seen.
