Ain't No More Cane- Janis Joplin/Rick Danko/Jerry Garcia/Bob Weir



This is from the movie Festival Express, about a tour in Canada undertaken by train in 1970 by Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead among others. Here's the best scene from it. That's Rick Danko from The Band holding the acoustic guitar, Janis Joplin sitting next to him, and Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir off sitting further to the right. They're drunk or high or something, and there's something inexplicably moving and beautiful about the whole scene. And at 4:04 Jerry says one of my favorite lines in any movie ever.
