Notes
  • No tape, Good Lovin' comes from attendee recollection on deadlists, "According to Malcolm O'Brien this was an all-electric show. Good Lovin' is the only tune he remembers with fair certainly." And New Speedway Boogie comes from analysis of the silent video footage, by Dan Bryant.
  • Free show set up in a nearby park in response to protests about the stadium show (see news coverage links). Bands played on the back of a flatbed truck.
  • Deadsources has local print news coverage from the time June 27-28, 1970: CNE Stadium, Toronto (Festival Express I) and June 27-28, 1970: Festival Express, Toronto and June 27, 1970: CNE Grandstand, Toronto
