    "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.

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

    Yahhh-booooo!!! Blu-ray only on Deadnet. Bummer. It wouldn't bother me a bit paying the extra bucks (euros in my case) but ordering from here in Italy you get caned by customs duty. So I guess it's Amazon and DVD for me. But I'm gonna groove all the same. And by the way, I love Rhino. And I don't work for them either. Ciao from Italia.

    Blu Audio Specs?
    The ad doesn't indicate the audio specs for the blu-ray. Is it DTS HD Master Audio or Dolby Tru HD? Because if it is just Dolby Digital 5.1, then there is no reason to buy the Blu-Ray. Anybody know the answer?

    Leed, I had the same reaction. I was initially a bit put off by the initial rollout, which really made it look like this might be a limited edition. Once they clarified things after a couple of days, like many others, I'd already ordered the "Deluxe" version. Either this was brilliant and somewhat devious marketing (but as I've said elsewhere, I don't buy into the Rhino/Dave conspiracy theory stuff), or someone bungled the rollout a bit and the EFFECT was that a lot of us panicked and bought the deluxe edition thinking it would be our only way to get the show... either way, it worked. RATIONALIZATION ALERT: I really am looking forward to the extras, which I would say are more than mere swag. Also since I could get this essentially for free on Amazon, using "reward points" - I consider my purchase from Deadnet to be a kind of vote of confidence. I want this stuff to continue, and I would rather give money to Mark P., Mary E., Dave L, etc., than to Jeff Bezos, har har.

    what the heck
    this cancel post to which i am replying may be partially directed at a comment i made at the beginning of the month where i said i would cancel if i could since a stripped down version is so much cheaper from amazon but at this point i have absorbed the loss and path of least resistance is just to leave it alone and enjoy the shwag

    jcarrier Aspect Ratio
    I don't know if it was 16mm or Super 16mm. As I remember it was not widescreen in the theatre, but the quality was far superior to the bootleg vcr tape I've had for 20 years and the sound was so clear and dynamic! I know that current video processing technology is far superior to what it was in 1972. As I remember, one of the 2 camera men had no filming experience. He was probably the camera man who filmed Jerry with naked guy dancing on the pole in the background for a long time. lol

    This is a real treat! I have been looking at the bootleg version for years. The clarity of the re mastered footage is superb. The audio sounds equally super having a deep, round, balanced sound that fills the whole room with warm pleasantries from the DEAD. Can't Wait To Get The Blue Ray & CDs. Thanks, SOULSURVIVOR

    re: Aspect ratio
    Hey jcarrier - I believe Sunshine Daydream was filmed using 16mm cameras, which actually have an aspect ratio of 1.33 (4:3) same as a traditional television. However, if it were shot in Super 16mm then the aspect ratio of the negative would be 1.67 (5:3).

    Aspect ratio
    My guess is that both DVD and Blu-Ray formats will be 4:3 (not widescreen). The theatrical showing I saw in Evanston was definitely 4:3 which surprised me as it looked like the crew filming the show was using film cameras and not video. Most film is in a widescreen format. It didn't make sense to me, but there you go.

    Is the Blu-Ray DVD widescreen or fullscreen format?
