    "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?

    BluRay audio
    Well, I went to Airshow Mastering's 30th Birthday party today and David Glasser told me that he was very happy to find that the BluRay audio exactly matched what he heard in his mastering lab (24/96) and how surprised he was to find out how much better it sounded than the DVD Dolby version. Buyer's remorse here, I think I'm going to have to get a BluRay version and a BluRay player. Or just pester him to listen to it in his studio! OK, I gotta find a Red Rocks ticket for tomorrow.

    Re: Blu Ray Fail
    Anomalator, Not having the blu-ray myself I cannot say for sure, but you may check and see if there are any firmware updates for your blu-ray player. These things seem to get updated with some regularity and I have had issues before playing discs that require an update. Or, it could be some other ghost in the machine. Either way, sorry to hear of your bad luck!

    Blu Ray Fail.
    I pre-ordered this release for $60+ and waited several weeks to get it in the mail only to find out that the Blu Ray disc won't play in my BD player. I didn't get a Sunshine Daydream, I got a Disc Error. Disappointment would be an understatement. What the hell did you guys do to this disc? And what am I supposed to do now, contact customer service and wait several more weeks for another disc that may or may not play? Pretty packaging is all well and good, but it doesn't mean shit if the content won't play! Dean.net fail.

    Sunshine Daydream - BluRay audio problem
    Anyone else having a problem getting the disc to play with 5.1 sound? I select it from the menu, but when I play the movie, it changes back to regular stereo. Just can't get it to stay. Other blu-rays ok though. Frustrating. :(

    UNKNOWN DISC
    The Blu-Ray will not play on my OPPO BDP-83. Unkown Disc keeps appearing even after rebooting and the player has the latest software version. Dead.net said they are sending me a return shipping label generated by email that will take 24 to 72 hours. Once they receive the product back then they will ship out a replacement. By the time all this happens I'm sure a month will go by. Very disappointing.

    A poster, yes.. But...
    ...I didn't feel too put out by that... ...but now it is reported that the "Bonus" documentary -- supposedly included *only* on the dead.net version of the release -- actually IS included in the much cheaper retail version too?! (I haven't bought the retail, but my understanding is that in the disc authoring process TPTB simply altered the retail DVD menu to eliminate the link to the "Grateful Days" doc. But they left the doc still on the disc, findable using your computer to browse or rip the disc contents -- just not playable directly on most DVD players/softwares; but rip it and there it is. OR SO I AM TOLD... Another, albeit somewhat hidden, bonus for the retail customer. And one less "bonus" for the dead.net early buyers.) Oh dead.net! I am usually a pretty staunch defender, but it is beginning to seem that you really did hose us a little on this release -- didn't you?

    Blu audio
    Well a helpful music lover said the audio on the Blu is Dolby Tru HD, but I received a response from customer service saying it is Dolby Digital 5.1. Could a happy Blu owner confirm the audio specs?

    Where is the Bonus Documentary Grateful Days? On the DVD DISC? Still waiting for it to arrive. Is it only on the Disc from Dead.net?

    Arrived
    My copy arrived today, really nice box. I'm still pissed about not getting the poster free. If I had gone to my local record store and paid less for this, I would get the poster free. Pre-order from Dead.net and pay $15.00 if you want one. I'll get over it and let the music play.
