# Oh, no, no #

# Don't wanna be treated this way #

# Mama told me, son... #

We were gonna get
a whole bunch of acts together

and do a big festival.

And rather than do it at one site,

I said, "We're gonna travel the country
on a private train."

## [CONTINUES]

Well, the normal mode was to fly
into a city, do the show and then leave.

So, this was-- You were kind of
like a traveling circus.

[WALKER]
I wanted it to be a party,

so I put, um,

amps and a Hammond B-3

and a drum kit in the bar car.

And I set it up like that.

# Oh, no, no #

# Don't wanna be treated this way #

[MAN] It was unusual,
because you never expected

to open a passenger car door

and see a band playing,
you know?

And microphones and cameras and...

It was not only
a concert on the stage,

it was a concert
for the entire travel.

The phrase that's become common now
about leaving your ego at the door--

We left our egos at the station,
quite frankly.

[WALKER] I had a hard time getting C.N.
to agree to rent me the train.

Originally, they told me that

I'd have to go from west to east,

and I said, you know, "No way."

It's "Go West, young man."

And just imagine putting a bunch
of crazy musicians together,

and telling them
to go have a good time--

try and have a good time.

Not a problem.

##

I knew that this was gonna be our home
for the next week, you know?

I said, "Wow,
what an adventure."

I thought this is really in the spirit

of the music
and of the times, you know?

And trying new things.

I said, "This is gonna be exciting."

And the people they had
on there was exciting

[CHUCKLING]
as the train ride was.

## [CONTINUES]

It was a train full of insane people

careening across
the Canadian countryside,

making music night and day.

And then occasionally
we'd get off the train

and go play a concert.

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

[GARCIA]
Thank you.

[MAN] And the idea of this festival
was an ingenious one.

Instead of, like, getting everybody
from all over the continent

and everywhere
to come to one place,

it would be like the mountain
would go to Mohammed.

Like, you would take this festival
to the various places.

And it was a great idea,
except, of course,

by this point,
it had reached Canada--

the idea that all these festivals
really should be free.

[MAN] Just in front of the festival,
we received this leaflet

that told people to boycott
buying tickets for this festival.

And it said that, you know,
this is our music.

$14 is an outrageous fee,
and the festival should be free.

[MAN] As I recall,
there were some people

who were quite vocal
about thinking that

the musicians should be playing--

we should be playing for free,

regardless of the expense
that it takes for us to get there

and the fact that
we need to make a living,

details like that.

I had $27,000 worth
of pay-duty police--

400 men a shift--

and I had them on horseback.

And I had a good relationship
with the police department.

So, I knew I was gonna
be facing protesters,

and I was prepared for that.

[MAN] There are a hell
of a lot of people out there.

They're having their heads
busted by the pigs.

- [PEOPLE SHOUTING]
- And why don't--

He made his money!
Why don't you let them in now?

You don't need
to get any more money.

[CLAMORING]

See what I mean?
The pigs are on his side.

He's a pig like the rest of them.

[MAN] Hey, could everybody calm down
for a minute? Um...

- Oh, wait a minute.
- [SHOUTING]

Hold it.
We're trying to do something,

and Jerry Garcia
would like to explain to you

exactly what we're trying to do.

Uh, the thing we're trying to do
is organize

another sort of scene
that we can have here.

And, uh, we would like,

if possible, man, to have, like,
about a half hour of just coolness

so that we can
work something out

that would be an alternative
to all this hassling,

and see if we can avoid
getting people hurt.

[MAN] Let people in.
It's the only alternative.

You have to remember, man,
that somebody put their neck out

to put on a festival here.

They didn't have to do it.

All this stuff is, like,
voluntary in nature.

No! Get off me!

Now, we're trying
to put on a free stage, man.

[PEOPLE SHOUTING]

You don't have to go for it.

You can believe it or not,
but that's where it's at right now.

Be back in a while.

I talked to, uh,
Superintendent Art Woolmer

of, uh, Metro's finest,

and I said, "There's a little park
not far from here.

Why don't we set up
a free concert over there?"

And, uh, he said, "No problem."

He said, "Good idea."

[MAN]
We finally got all that together

that we were talking about before
for the people outside.

Here's Sam Cutler,
the manager of the Grateful Dead,

to explain it all to you.

[CUTLER] What we've managed
to get together is two flatbed trucks,

and we'll be over
in Coronation Park.

It seemed to us,
as long as we were there,

we could go ahead and play
something for free, and we did.

[WALKER] These kids came
without money in their pockets.

They had no intention of paying.

So just to get them away
from the gates

so that paying customers
could make it in

was really in my best interest,
and I didn't mind doing it.

You know, the word was out
that the protests had,

you know, fucked the promoters,
and that despite the music

and despite the pleasure

that the people who were attending
were having with the music,

it was going to be
a financial disaster.

Well, I'd like to see them, you know,
get as many people as can possibly come,

because there's a fantastic amount

of great, great lineup of talent,
you know.

- [MAN ] Yeah, well, it's funny--
- If you figure--

People say the tickets are too high,
but if you figure--

It's less than a dollar
per supergroup, you know?

[CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

Thank you.

Good night.

[CHEERING, APPLAUDING CONTINUE]

[MAN] I think the promoters realized
this was a lost cause--

that they weren't going
to make a profit.

And whereas some promoters might say,
"To heck with it," you know,

they said, "Well, we're on a train.
Let's go for it."

[MAN] They knew how hard
they were bleeding

right from the first Toronto concert.

And they must have known,
based on the numbers,

that they weren't gonna
make that back.

But they never held up

on anything for the artists.

[WALKER] You know, when we were
in Montreal ordering the train,

they were gonna give me
a cafeteria car.

And I said,
"I don't want a cafeteria car.

I want a proper dining car."

And this is like the Orient Express
to a lot of these musicians.

And I said,
"Now, I want snacks at night,

and I want decent sandwiches,
not Spam sandwiches

and not baloney
and not peanut butter and jam."

And I said, "If anybody says
that they've gotten up late

and they want breakfast,
you'll make it."

[DALTON]
Somebody on the train said,

"Woodstock was a treat
for the audience,

and the train was a treat
for the performers."

I mean, you would get up,
people would be playing.

You'd go to sleep, get up again,

and there would be
another group of people.

There was no escape.
I mean, the only place you could go,

really, was to your room.

But sometimes you needed a rest.
Go back to sleep.

But it was kind of like
this little La Boh�me society, you know?

And people really began
to appreciate what it was and love it.

## [COUNTRY]

[SYLVIA TYSON]
It was 24 hours a day. It was nonstop.

So, it was great to have
that opportunity

to actually hang with some people
that that you liked

and would never normally
get to spend much time with.

[GARCIA]
# Oh, hear the mighty billows roll #

# You better take Jesus with you #

# We'll see our Lord descending #

# In glory from on high #

# Oh, let us keep in touch with Jesus #

# And the special love of God #

# May be ever called ready

# Oh, look at that cold Jordan #

# Look at its deep water #

# Look at that wide river #

# Oh, hear the mighty billows roll #

# He's a true companion #

# For I'm sure without Him #

# That you never will make it home #

# Oh, what you gonna do #

# What you gonna say #

# How you gonna feel #

# When you come to
the end of the way? #

[WEIR]
As you know, there was the blues car,

the country car,
the folk car, whatever.

You know, you could drift
from car to car and get involved

in any number of jams that--

some of which really did amount
to some pretty heady stuff.

[BUDDY GUY] You could walk in, and you
didn't ask me what I was playing.

You just looked at me,
and I looked at you,

and I nodded my head and vice versa,
and you played.

And you didn't say, "Play it like this,"
or "Play it like that."

You just got into it
some kind of way, you know?

## [BLUES]

# I can't do it, baby #

# Well, Lord, I tried so hard,
but I just can't do it, baby #

# No, no #

# I can't do it, baby #

Yo!

# Well, Lord, I tried so hard,
but I just can't do it, baby #

# Oh, no #

## [CONTINUES]

# You made me mess up
my happy home #

[GRADNEY]
It was, I believe, two and half days

from Toronto to Winnipeg,

and for any musician that was
on this train, it was like heaven.

[WALKER]
Basically, you know, we spent an--

[MAN]
It's a focal point.

...a very enjoyable two days
riding this train with the groups,

uh, jamming, um,
and, uh, being together.

Unlike a lot of other festivals,
you rush in and you rush out,

and they don't see each other.

They're here and we're here
all to make a living

and to provide entertainment.

Uh, when it gets to the point
where-- where kids,

as in Toronto, uh,
want to become violent,

that doesn't go hand-in-hand
with the kind of entertainment

the groups want to provide
and we want to provide.

And all these kids got uptight
because the admission was too high,

and they decided
they were gonna have a riot.

They busted some cop's head, man.
They busted it wide open.

He's got a plate in his head now,
and he may still be in critical condition.

Is that worth the 16 fucking dollars?

Okay, but but how many kids
got busted wide open too?

- [WEIR] Who started it?
- [WOMAN] No.

- Usually--
- [MAN] Nobody got busted.

- No kids got busted at all?
- No.

[MAN] 22 kids got arrested
because they jumped the fence,

and it was against the law.

They weren't supposed to.
Because when you play, you pay.

Is that worth a $16 ticket?

Is that worth $16--
nearly killing some cop?

- You know, nearly killing a person?
- And the Canadian cops are boss.

And those cops up there,

I talked to a lot of them,
and they were all boss.

They were all good people.

The basic thing
that the Saturday papers--

And I guess they caught
the last bit before the...

[CLEARING THROAT]
papers went to run.

All they showed was, uh,
well, one pic--

One shot I know that was used
as a national photo

was a policeman's horse reared up.

They forgot to tell you that
somebody threw pepper at the horse.

They forgot to show you
the shots of the kids

that were inside the show
enjoying it.

[MAN] There was 40,000 people
in there that had fun.

You must have talked to the 2,000
outside the gates trying to get in.

[MAN]
No, the 2,000 outside the gates--

Let me tell you something.
I want to show the camera.

I want to show the camera.
Take a look at that.

[MAN] Must we put up
with yellow journalism?

People in Toronto demanded
we let everybody in for free.

Or, if we wouldn't accept that,

they were willing to accept 60%
of the gross ticket sales,

which they would distribute
as they saw fit.

That was nice.

And also, they wanted
free food and free dope.

[LAUGHTER]

[WEIR] These people weren't
looking for free music,

they were looking for trouble.

They were looking for an excuse
to bust cops' heads.

They were, you know,
pathologically un-authoritarian.

I know.
I'm that way myself.

[WALKER]
The press picked it up,

and there was a movement
formed in Winnipeg

and then one in Calgary.

So, ticket sales were
not doing very well.

Mainly because of the protesters.

So, we lost a significant
amount of money,

and the bands all knew it.

I said, you know,
"Hey, let's carry on and party."

# Lay it on me, ugh #

# Baby, baby, here I come, ugh #

# Hey #

When we left Winnipeg,

it was like, "Can we leave now?"

You know? Because everybody just
wanted to get right back on the train.

We went back on the train,
and then we had an overnighter

uh, to Calgary.

And that was a long one,
but nobody really noticed.

# Better do my thing #

# Ugh, hey #

## [CONTINUES, INDISTINCT]

## [CONTINUES, INDISTINCT]

[TILL] It seemed that time was
sort of suspended, you know?

Like, usually,
a performer wants to get there,

get his job done, and get home.

In this situation,
you wanted it to go on forever.

## [CONTINUES]

[GUY] Well, I couldn't keep up
with them, man.

They was partying all night long.

And I said,
"I gotta go to sleep, man."

Every time I went to bed,
I thought I was gonna miss something.

Then I'd say,
"Well, I gotta go back again."

Matter of fact, I never did stay
in the bed for an hour.

This train was not for sleeping.

It was for a lot of other things,
but not for sleeping.

Very few people slept on this train.

[WEIR] Most all of us were new
to drinking at that point too.

We'd all been taking LSD,
or smoking pot, or whatever,

and this was a new experience
for a lot of us,

and, uh, it it worked just fine.

## [CONTINUES]

[WALKER]
The C.N. guy came to me and said,

"They've drank us dry."

And I said,
"Well, where's the next stop?"

And he said, "We're not
scheduled for a stop."

I said, "You are now."

- ## [ENDS]
- [GRUNTS]

[WALKER]
So, I told everybody on the train,

"They've run out of booze,
but we're making an emergency stop."

And then we passed a hat.

And if I remember correctly,
I think we collected about $800.

So, we made a run on the liquor store.

Then on the way out,
I saw, up on a shelf,

a display bottle of Canadian Club.

And so, I looked up, and I said,
"I'll have that too."

And he said, "It's a display bottle.
It's not for sale."

I said, "It's for sale now, and if you
don't climb up and get it down,

then I'm gonna get somebody
to climb up and bring it down."

So, when we got back to the station,

the guys that were with us,

the performers that were with us,
were absolutely ecstatic.

[ANDERSEN]
They did run out of booze,

and they did stop in Saskatoon.

The whole damn train stopped,

like, in front of a liquor store,
and they bought the place out.

So, the ride that night-- I mean,
there was a party you couldn't believe.

## ["SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE"
INSTRUMENTAL]

[WEIR] Somebody had doctored
that big bottle of Canadian Club.

And you could see little gel caps
at the bottom

floating around down there.

I did my best
to stay away from that.

But even so,

there was more going on
at that point than just the alcohol.

There were psychedelics involved.

I don't know
what kind or how much,

but that train
was sort of buzzing

down the, uh, rails.

We achieved liftoff for sure.

When we got to Calgary,
the mayor

was this radical character
who came out on,

and he said,
in this very kind of grandiose way,

"I demand
that the children of Calgary

pass through the gates free."

[WALKER] Well, the mayor of Calgary
decided that, uh,

he was gonna become a big hero

to these kids
who were also protesting.

And, uh, he came backstage

and, uh, said to me, uh,

that, uh, I should open the gates

and let the children of Calgary in free,

and I refused.

So, he called me "Eastern scum"
and "a capitalist rip-off son of a bitch."

And my answer is
his teeth in my knuckles.

That was my answer.

I think that, certainly,

carried over onto the stage,

aware of the possibilities.

We ended up in Calgary
doing some stuff

with a lot of,
