Sunshine Daydream captures the Grateful Dead's fabled concert in Veneta, Oregon in 1972, presented here as a UK import CD set.
The show was a benefit for the Springfield Creamery, a local dairy run by Ken Kesey's family, played in an open field on a scorching summer afternoon. The band had recently returned from their celebrated European tour and were playing with remarkable confidence. For decades, a rough film of the day circulated among fans, building its reputation as one of the great Dead performances.
China Cat Sunflower opens up with the effortless lift that made it a fan favourite. Bird Song drifts and shimmers, Jerry Garcia's guitar weaving long, lyrical lines. Dark Star is the centrepiece, an extended exploration that moves from delicate melody into wild, free improvisation and back again. Sugar Magnolia brings everything home with joyful, sunny energy.
The recording is warm and full, capturing Phil Lesh's roaming bass, Bob Weir's inventive rhythm parts, Keith Godchaux's piano and Bill Kreutzmann's drums locking into deep, patient grooves. Across three sets' worth of music, the band sounds loose, curious and utterly in tune with each other and the crowd.
For many Deadheads this is the definitive 1972 show, and it is easy to hear why.
