"The rock music group Grateful Dead is scheduled to perform at a 'potluck picnic' Sunday, sponsored by the Springfield Creamery." Eugene Register-Guard

A "rock picnic." The Field Trip. Kesey's Creamery. August 27, 1972. The Springfield Creamery Benefit. Call it what you will, the sun was beating down hard and bright on that fateful day in Veneta, Oregon when the Grateful Dead heeded Ken Kesey's call to help save the family Creamery. The 100-degree and rising temperatures did not deter the band who were still riding high from their adventures across the pond. It did not discourage filmmakers John Norris, Phil DeGuere, and Sam Field who gained entry into the Dead's tight-knit world with their promise to capture the culture and integrity of the scene. And it certainly didn't inhibit the estimated 20,000 Dead Heads who could not believe their, well, pot...luck.

In fact, this blistering day turned out to be a near-perfect little piece of the Grateful Dead experience and it is with great pleasure, that 41 years later we can present Sunshine Daydream to you the way it was meant to be seen and heard. As Prankster Ken Babbs puts it in the liner notes, this previously unreleased concert film "is a time capsule, a vessel full of exuberant free spirit as exhibited by the enraptured, edified, and satisfied concertgoers, a spirit that can still resound, that can still fill our hearts with joy, with compassion, with that sense and knowledge of our oneness, our open sharing and caring and the belief that the goodness inherent in all of us will continue to shine just as it did in Veneta, Oregon, in 1972. And will prevail." And prevail it does, with its pristine sound and beautiful visuals, the band transporting the audience to other-worldly planes with definitive versions of their beloved songs like "Bertha," "China>Rider," "Playing In The Band,""Greatest Story Ever Told,""Dark Star," and "Sing Me Back Home" and the Dead Heads in their wild and, quite literally, naked glory.

A Dead.net exclusive, this "most requested" and "most revered" show is limited to 12,500 individually numbered copies. Presented in an original tie-dye slipcase by Courtenay Pollock, the set also includes 40-page book with in-depth essays by David Lemieux, Sam Field, Johnny Dwork, Ken Babbs, and Nicholas G. Meriwether. Pre-order it now.

3 CD/DVD - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E34A9FU/?tag=imwan-20

Dark Straw?
You mean Dark Star?

I fixed it.

Thought I heard the film was going to be released, too. You can find clips on YouTube.

The listing page has vanished altogether, at least temporarily.

CD Universe is still showing a listing.....and goes as far to say 3 CDs/1 DVD set.
So I'm guesing/hoping Amazon's removal is temporary.

It will be released. The movie release is a special 'fandom' (sic) showing, much like they do for the classics when the new blu-rays are coming out. The showing is next Thursday Aug 1. I'll be there (and in on this release).

Important new info on top.

The Amazon page is gone because it's limited edition on dead.net.

They used the movie screening tonight to announce the pre-order.

Got my Blu-ray order in.

If you have any doubt that you need this, check out the clip of Dark Star from this concert on YouTube (search Dark Star Veneta). I'm not a huge Deadhead, but this is a great concert. It has an indescribable vibe that just sucked me in. Maybe it's just me.

Thanks for the new info.

I'm not the biggest Dead fan around, but the China Cat Sunflower footage sold me. For what it's worth, I think this period (early 70s - single drummer) was their peak as performers and by god I can feel the warmth of the sun (oops, wrong group) on my face just looking at the video.

snagged it. But it is a bit steep by GD standards.

It i a bit steep, or I'd nab the blu. BTW, does anyone know if the blu has true hi res audio?

Thanks Charles! Thank you for shopping the Dead.net Store. My Blu-Ray order is in!

Just when I thought I was done buying GD merch from Dead.net, they pull me back in.
Ordered the Bluray/CD set.

I'm not even a Dead fan really but I need this. Do you?

I want it, badly. When one is as broke as I "need" becomes another story........ Need is making the 3 month late house payment & the final bankruptcy payment. Need is medical care & food.

Jimbo just put another rubber stamp on the side of his fighter plane.

Amazon's link is active again-

I can't tell if it's a less deluxe set of the concert only, the movie, or what. Itunes is selling the concert only pre-order, so maybe there's going to be a regular CD release.

I'll post more info if Amazon makes more details available.

If you didn't want the limited edition deluxe, there may be cheaper options (I'm sticking with what I ordered through dead.net)
