Bob:
I was in attendance at the Festival Express event in Toronto. The exact year esapes me ( go figure!) There were numerous semi-small demonstrations/attempts to jump the walls and fences on the west side of CNE stadium where it all took place. After a brief spell of negotiations betweeen the organizers and the protesters, a free concert was eventually held in Confederation Park ( where the Lancaster used to be on the pole- on the waterfront) featuring the Greatful Dead and some others.
The concert inside the stadium was tremendous. Janice Joplins new band (Full Tilt Boogie Band) made one of their first appearances and they made " Big Brother and the Holding Co" lookl like a high school garage band. The new band actually played on key. Numerous other notable performances.
Hope this answers your questions. Need anymore assistance, let me know.
