Sunshine Daydream - Jack Straw

Sunshine Daydream is an unreleased movie shot at the Grateful Dead's 1972 Veneta, Oregon concert to benefit the Springfield Creamery in nearby Springfield, Oregon. The film is sometimes shown at small film festivals, and bootleg recordings of it have circulated on VHS and DVD and as digital downloads.

The concert, recorded on August 27, 1972, was filmed using four 16 mm cameras, in the woods of the Oregon Coast Range foothills, on the grounds of the Oregon Country Fair. Originally even more cameras had been planned, under an ambitious scheme: "The plot was to develop a signature visual style of representing the band: a camera for each of the 16 channels (at least!) emphasizing the visual kinetics of the music making itself as well as the enormous open communication within the band."

Ken Kesey and old cohort Ken Babbs emceed the concert. The Dead played all afternoon and into the dark after an opening set by the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

The title of the film is taken from the coda section of the Dead song "Sugar Magnolia".

Till the drugs go bad. What the hell does that mean? The computer industry was created by acid heads. The prison industrial ganster industry was created by anti drug laws.

@theatlantisrise Im 18, Jorma koukoen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna inspired me to pick up guitar with his "Water Song". I take offense to that, Most wont have any taste but there are a growing number of us who are trying to bring back that sprit. It wont be the same, were a few days away from 40 years past 72, but I play for the music and the love of it, and I think there is a small but growing number of musicians who feel the same way

@chazmap Glad to see im not one of the only conservative deadheads, while I may only be 18 I am an active member of the NRA, when I turn 21 I'll most likely have a handgun permit and keep a .357 in my car, yet I love the dead to no end. Its true, when asked jerry would always change the subject on politics, he was about the music and the music only.

I love the dead>I'm no hippie. I'm an active member of the NRA and an avid hunter.I also VOTE. I hold a job I'm an Ironworker I used to go to shows wearing tyedye and camo had a gun in my car most of the time (only had to show it once). was a fan than and still am and I'm old.Just saying. If you notice Jerry would steer clear of politics he for the most part would just smile and skirt the issue when asked.And Pigpen always had a firearm of some sort on him.It's about music not politics

@ezekieloak So the moral of the story don't introduce your kids to any music because it ends with damage to their health. HA!
