VA – Festival Express 1970 [2005, 2 DVD]

Release from 2 DVDs. 1 DVD - Festival Express 1970. 2 DVDs - bonus. Festival Express 1970 - is unique among rock festivals. It was not held in one place, but took place in three Canadian cities - Toronto, Winnipeg and Calgary (Vancouver was supposed to be the fourth city, but was canceled due to the decree of Vancouver Mayor Tom Campbell, who was opposed to the hippie movement).
