Hi there, Firstly, allow me to thank you for your wonderful resource.
Secondly, I was wondering if you could help with the following: I'm producing a feature film using the original 16 mm. footage and 8-track sound shot and recorded at the Festival Express concert tour of Canada in 1970 (our director, Bob Smeaton, has won 2 Grammy Awards, for the Beatles Anthology; and for Hendrix: Band Of Gypsies). The Dead performances are generally pretty well covered, but there are a few gaps here and there in picture and sound, so we're trying to track down every additional resource we can find. I noticed on resourcesfortraders.com that the following Dead shows were recorded, though the tapes seem to be out of circulation: 06/27/70 - Canadian National Exhibition Hall, Toronto, Canada Not in circulation 06/28/70 - Coronation Park, Toronto, Canada Not in circulation 07/01/70 - Fairgrounds, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Not in circulation 07/03/70 - McMahon Stadium, Calgary, Alberta, Canada Not in circulation - thus I was wondering if you might have an idea about whom I could contact to try to find copies of these tapes. Just for your information, I've attached a brief info sheet about the film (as a word document), which I hope may be of interest. Any help you might be able to give in tracking these recordings would be enormously appreciated. (Obviously, any commercial use of such materials wwould have to be properly licensed, so please rest assured that the film is being produced in a completely legitimate and above-board fashion, and that all the necessary licenses are being obtained). Thank you very kindly in advance, Best regards, Gavin Poolman Apollo Films Ltd. 15 Lindfield Gardens London NW3 6PX United Kingdom tel/ fax 4420 7794-1598
