    "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 on Blu-ray. 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.

    With out unwrapping, how do I tell the DVD and Blu-ray apart?

    Prediction

    A vaccine for C-19 will not be available until January 2022. Dead and Company will try to make up for lost time with both a spring 2022 tour and a summer 2022 tour. That will work out just exactly perfect for a two day gig on August 27 and 28 in Veneta, Oregon. The 27th will of course celebrate 50 years since the Creamery Picnic and the 28th will celebrate 40 years since the last time the Dead played on that hallowed ground.
    This is complete conjecture not based in reality. But one can dream.
    And I was there in 72 and 82.

    I was at Fair last year too…

    I was at Fair last year too for the 50th anniversary and got to see Phil with the Terrapin Fam Band. Obviously undescribable. Actually got to see Babbs at a Holloween party for Fair in October shortly after. And of course it's nice to see Zane, Ken Keseys son, every year with the second bus. But NOW, because of Covid, for the first time in 50 years (not including the Old Renaissance) there will not be a Oregon Country Fair. Mind you this is a non-profit, educational organization that also uses that space year round for community events. On top of that they had been put under pressure because of zoning laws and pretty much getting grandfathered into what they were doing, and by not being able to have an event could potentially cause them to lose they're agreements with the county. But they got that figured out, still scary. None the less not having Fair this year is a hard hit for everyone. And if you haven't heard they are preparing not to have Fair next year. Because you have to prepare to the worst case scenario. Look at the festival scene right now and tell me it's not scary. They could make it two years though and still come back. With no help. But don't let this conversation go by without input. Fair has always been there for us. And I'm prepared to do whatever to be there for Fair. I was stoked to see this, esspecially after they took down the video from YouTube. This has always made me feel "At Home", at home. This isn't the fucking Eagles or Michael Jackson. They wouldn't have lasted through this. I'm 26. I've been listening for less than a decade, soon we will be closer to a 100 year anniversary. I think we're all still trying to figure out "what it all means". Why does it keep going? Where, when will it end? Who knows. Who cares. But I know something was starting here! Only love. From Oregon. Until things we've never seen seem familiar. All good things in all good time.
