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.
