Janis Joplin performs live twice in this documentary and that's all I need to give it a recommend. It's the middle of summer and I still don't have enough blankets to handle the chills... This concert documentary about a 3-city Canadian tour/train ride with acts like Buddy Guy, The Band, The Dead is an interesting piece of nostalgia and very informative, though didn't go as deep behind the scenes as a film like Rolling Thunder Review. Still, Janis live
