![]() It's essential listening for Deadheads and possibly the best place for the curious to jump in. A long-traded fan favorite, Sunshine Daydream finally sees a properly mixed presentation of the 16-track master tapes of nearly three hours of one of the Grateful Dead's finest concert moments. Apart from incredibly locked-in hypnotic jams like a nearly 20-minute rendition of "Playing in the Band" and an even longer "Dark Star," we're also treated to hard-living country-rock tunes like "He's Gone" and "Bertha" as well as Bob Weir's cowboy songs of the time like "Mexicali Blues." While this set doesn't benefit from the re-recorded studio vocal touchups of Europe '72, the musical performances are just as strong if not even more electric and comfortable.

The three sets here have everything that made this one of the most colorful and captivating eras of the Dead's live playing. The Dead were fresh off the international tour that would yield their groundbreaking Europe '72 live disc, and showed up in a town outside of Eugene, Oregon for a benefit concert to come to the aid of longtime friend Ken Kesey's failing dairy farm. To untrained ears, these shows could sound like interchangeable noodly nonsense, but even the most reluctant listener would be struck by what the initiated already hold dear from a recording like Sunshine Daydream: Veneta, OR, August 27th, 1972. Test me, test me, Test me, test me, test me, Why don't you arrest me Throw me in to the jailhouse, Lord until the sun goes down, ('till it goes down.) I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bended knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore. ![]() ![]() Ranging from the many, many live albums officially released when the band was still active to countless bootlegs and even more low-quality audience-recorded tapes, almost every minute of the group's over 2,000 concerts have been documented in some form, with newly refurbished or remixed gigs coming out from the vaults every year.

It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me. For those unindoctrinated to the obsessive world of Grateful Dead culture that goes past fandom into a somewhat disconcerting preoccupation, the Deadhead's need for rampant collection and cataloging of live recordings of the band's jammy shows may seem completely insane. ![]()
