In the summer of 1970, a chartered train crossed Canada carrying some of the world's greatest rock bands. The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, Buddy Guy, The Flying Burrito Brothers and others lived (and partied) together for five days, stopping in major cities along the way to play live concerts. Their journey was filmed.
