    "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?

    I love the look of this packaging. Easily one of my favorites to be chosen as Release art. Between DP's, May 77 and Veneta- a great year for Releases, one of the best. Dave's Picks 6 from 69. DP 7 from 78. DP 8 from 198-?...

    This is The product. Jesus. The band deserves every cent they make. And more. The Sunshine Daydream is a set. Cd/ DVD. Not a choice. U don't like it,don't buy. The movie is what it is. It's not entire concert enjoy what the Merry Pranksters have created.

    Who said free?
    Just to make sure I reread my submission twice. Nope no word free in there. Also I knew you were going to claim I worked for Rhino or was (heaven's to bid) a CEO. Bill G used to get a lot of that. Now read slowly and you can even move your lips. I do not work for Rhino or any part of the entertainment industry. But if you had paid attention I do appreciate the great work Rhino has done for us old timers with their reissues. Am I a CEO or even a supervisor Hah my bosses would laugh heartily. What I am and have been for almost 40 years is a blue collar union man and damn proud of it. Just because I understand a business has to make money to stay in business doesn't mean I wear a suit. As far as the consumer having a choice, they do they can choose where to spend their hard earned money. But but I just want this and not that you say then start your own business you personally don't get to tell someone else what they have to make. That system finally crashed and burned 20+ years ago. That being said if a business makes wrong decisions they fail that is where consumer choice comes in. It happens in our economy all the time. Right choice business booms wrong choice oh well next idea. Maybe you should take economics 101 before you open you mouth.

    Really excellent work; let those who've worked out how to live for free share their secret; for myself, I'm keeping the day job and buying the sets I want and can afford and passing on those I don't want (Spring 1990) or can't afford (May 1977). It's a beautiful legacy that is being managed in a concientious way; thumbs up to the band, DL2, Dick before him, Jeffrey, MaryE and, yes, Rhino.

    Dude chill out. Virtually everyone on this site wants the whole show which the movie is not so you get both. 12,500 blue ray isn't a small amount let's see how long it takes to sell out. I swear I've never seen so many people whine about a company (Rhino) that has provided great products for years that wants to keep doing it (by guess how MAKING MONEY). You go work for free P.S. To everyone else sorry about the tone I am heartily sick and tired of people who think others shouldn't get a decent return on their hard work

    Sunshine Daydream-Fargo, ND
    Not a crowd by any means, but the theatre had great screen and sound. We drove about an hour to be able to see this at the only North Dakota screening, and it was well worth it. Have had the audio for this show for many years, it was very fine to see some of the knockout performances, including Dark Star>El Paso>Sing Me Back Home and China>Rider. Although occasionally lacking in completely professional film making, the shot of the faces of the crowd during Dark Star was priceless. The transition bridge on China>Rider really showed Bob dialed in as well. I'm amazed that they got anything done even resembling a show with all of the chaos all around, but maybe it was because of the chaos all around!

    Sunshine Daydream in a Louisville Theater!
    I saw Sunshine Daydream at the Stonybrook 20 on S. Hurstbourne Parkway in Louisville, Kentucky last night. My earlier guess of 45 to 50 people in attendance was probably too high. There were probably only 30 to 35 people there. I loved it! I only wish they would have shown the band more. I didn't really like the "trippy collage" filler they kept going to during the second half of the movie. They might have had to do this due to a lack of actually film footage during those portions of the show, but probably not. They probably just thought it was cool. And yes, there was too much focus on the naked hippies (The girl with the open sore/half open scab in the center of her back got too much screen time!). The sound was killer though! I really want the CD of this show and am about to order it right now.

    I was so excited to see the Dead releasing a Blu-Ray...then I see they make you buy the 3-disc CD set if you want the Blu-Ra, NO EXCEPTIONS. WOW. At least its not about the $$$$...... After getting over being pissed,I realize I was being a bit narrow sighted..If it WAS all about the $,they probably wouldnt be only releasing a small number. Now im just confused...
