This band (Freedom Express) played The Strawberry Fields festival at Mosport Racetrack in Ontario Canada in the early 70s. John and Yoko were involved in initiating this festival.

Brian O'Sullivan hey Brian, somewhat true. "This" Freedom Express didn't play that festival. I was with the band then and it wasn't us. But Buddy Miles, also from Austin Texas had a band called Freedom Express and because of his band, we changed our name to Freedom Machine. It could have been Buddy's Band at that festival. So Brian, you were close !! keep rockin
