Man, what were they smoking? Oh, yeah, right. That.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 5, 2005

A good snapshot of an earlier, simpler, more innocent time that seems now even longer ago than it was.

| Original Score: B | Feb 1, 2005

It's touching to see rock stars in such a raw, uncommercial state. And the film, shot on rich-grained 16 mm, has none of the hyper, fast-cutting style of contemporary concert videos.

The music was fabulous--a reason enough to cherish this first-rate documentary.

| Original Score: A | Nov 17, 2004

ultimately feels a little like warm leftovers

Both drive-thru snapshot travelogue of nomad alternative culture, and one-of-a-kind caught moments of intimate jam sessions.

Full Review | Nov 4, 2004

It captures a pure moment in time when musical hearts and minds beat as one, when musicians of all stripes came together to work and play hard and leave behind one damn fine-looking corpse.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 19, 2004

A very well-assembled piece.

A fascinating, tuneful excursion into the Woodstock Nation, circa 1970.

A rock 'n' roll time capsule that may be the final, great chronicle of the musical brilliance of the late 1960s.

A remarkable cultural document that captures the circus-like atmosphere and the raw and immediate quality of the performances.

From the moment Joplin announces her arrival in the film she holds you rapt under her spell.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 23, 2004

Joplin lets loose a version of 'Cry Baby' that should stand as one of the great performances in any concert film.

With her whiskey-marinated, desperate-for-love, full-tilt blooz mama wildcat yowl still intact, Janis Joplin is the best thing about this film...

A time of innocence and hope was rolling away like a train leaving the station, and "Festival Express" gives it a fond farewell.
