Frequently Asked Questions
- What is The Last Waltz / Festival Express about?
THE LAST WALTZ, 1978, MGM Repertory, 117 min. “It Started as a Concert. It Became a Celebration. Now It's a Legend.” On Thanksgiving Day 1976, 5,000 cheering fans gathered for the historic farewell concert of The Band. Martin Scorsese provides fascinating interviews with Band members, but the film's real hook is the stage show.
FESTIVAL EXPRESS, 2003, ThinkFilm, 90 min. Dir. Bob Smeaton & Frank Cvitanovich. Set in 1970, FESTIVAL EXPRESS was a multi-band (including Janis Joplin, The Band and The Grateful Dead) extravaganza. What made it unique was that it was portable; for five days the bands and performers lived, slept, rehearsed and did countless unmentionable things aboard a customized train that traveled from Toronto to Calgary to Winnipeg, with each stop culminating in a mega-concert.
