    "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?

    Sunshine Daydream
    Just got mine in the mail today and I must say that I'm impressed with the packaging, It all looks very well done to me the 40 paged booklet provided nice insight to the making of the film and to the events surrounding the concert 41 years ago going to watch the film to night. I would love to thank everyone involved in the project (David Lemieux, Dead.Net, Rhino, The Film Crew and of course the Grateful Dead and whoever else is involved) on a job well done.

    UPC vs. sku # vs. Item #
    So i just received my 4 copies of SSDD, 2 of the BluRay & 2 of the regular DVD from Dead.net. Nice looking boxes, but without any outside notes to determine which is which! I bought all 4 as gifts and can't figure out which ones to send to who. There are UPC stickers on the outside shrink wrap but they don't match up to the sku # on the website, nor do they match up with the Item # on my receipt. I called the 1-800 Customer Help and they actually told me that there is no way of knowing without opening them! I asked if someone higher up, warehouse supervisor etc might be able to help, but to no avail. I was told there is no other way to confirm which is which! Giving an opened box hardly makes for a proper gift giving methinks. Can anyone confirm the UPC codes from their boxes? The two i have are 081227965006 & 081227964993. I would be so grateful, and so would the old heads waitin' on these.

    Baffled & Bummed...
    Sounds like the discs are great! Seems like everybody loves the movie too. Awesome. I wouldn't know 'cause my copy is still a no show. How is it that folks half-way around the planet earth have received their copys and a guy a couple of states away is still listening to the one old crappy copy he's been straining to hear over the last 20 yrs.? Bummed & Baffled....

    No subwoofer channel in TrueHD mix on Blu-ray?
    I've not yet seen anyone with his problem -- my receiver (a more than serviceable Sony) shows that the output from the BR disc is TrueHD, but nothing comes out of the subwoofer channel. The other five channels are fine. I ripped the disc to MKV, which converts TrueHD to DD 5.1, and I do get something then out of the subwoofer channel, but not a lot. (Note that the sub does work fine for other 5.1 discs/media, etc.) Can anyone confirm for me that they're getting something from their subwoofer channel? BTW, in case any one cares, I have a Sony STR-DH520 7.1 receiver and a Samsung BD-F5900 BR player.

    Everything works fine for me!
    Got the Blu-ray version on Friday and I was able to play the movie fine. It was on a PS3, so I don't know if that makes any difference. I actually don't buy a lot of Dead releases (I use Spotify/Archive.org for all my Dead listening) and I'm blown away by the quality of the HDCD of this show. My father doesn't like the Dead and I was 12 when Jerry passed away so it's releases like this that get me as close as possible to the experience of a Grateful Dead show.
