"I understand there is a movie making the rounds about Joplin's last series of concerts in Canada..."

There is, it's called FESTIVAL EXPRESS and it's a blast. Not only Janis (three months before her death), but the Grateful Dead, The Band, Buddy Guy, etc. are captured in live performance and hanging out on the train. The promoter was a character in his own right and lots of interesting things occurred along the way.

If you like music see it.

The Band....... loved those guys! Such honest lyrical music!

Levon Helm, by the way, did a great job as Sissy Spacek's father in 'Coal Miner's Daughter'. He was perfect! Is he still around?

'The Last Waltz' was so fine.

I'll look for it. Always liked the old Janis Joplin stuff but thought there wasn't much available.
A date and I saw Jefferson Airplane at the old University of Iowa Field House (now long gone)in the winter of 69-70 and I think we were in the second row from Glace Slick's PA speaker. I have to say it was the loudest concert I'd ever attended.
