Grateful Dead - Dark Star - 08/27/72 (1/4) (Sunshine Daydream)

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.

David Limieux: I have no idea. It's not in our hands. The people who own the film, physically own the film, who produced the original one, who have restored it and are ready to do something with it...that's about all I know, that they still have it. It's in great shape and they have put some effort into doing a good HD transfer and restoring it and preserving it.We all agree that it would be a good thing to come out some day. We do have the multi-track audio, so if ever it came out I would like to think that it would come through us so it could be mixed through a proper 5.1 mix. As it is, they can't do that. The only multi-track copy that exists is ours. The fact that it's Grateful Dead music, they would have to collaborate with us anyway. Nobody could just release something. Regardless, I agree it should come out. There's a lot of songs missing from the film and that's a product of them not filming a lot of songs. What I think would be ideal would be for it to come out on DVD, 5.1 mix, and then a three CD complete show of all released from the multi-track mix. That would be very pleasing to others and us.That's another thing. We have so little of the early era. Stuff that does exist should be given proper treatment and not just slapped together and thrown out, but really do the The Grateful Dead Movie treatment with it. Give it a 5.1 with some documentaries. Interview some of the people who were involved. I don't think it would be worth doing otherwise.

garcia has the most zen fucking look in his eyes i've ever seen during a guitar solo in my life. he's totally fucking in the thing.

The answer my dear is quite simple. What some record reviewer wrote for the guitars on the Velvet Underground's third album, applies here as well: "There are a lot of false notes but not one wrong note"... Look beyond the mathematical symmetry of scales and just allow the music to flow into your space, without having to question every note Jerry picks. Actually, it's what makes his playing unique... Too much symmetry kills!!

Is it possible to find audio for 08/22/72 from Berkley? I'd mean a lot.

[clippers334]

Thank You... that is what every musician needs to be taught.

Wanna travel? This song is you free ticket to heave

[Melvin Backstrom]

Nope. By all reports Garcia didn't start on the heroin till 1975/76. Just a lot of experience with LSD I think.

[Brian Michaelson]

Wow, he"s really milking that Strat for all it's worth!

[zackboomer]

I feel like I sorta live in this community, but it's world wide. I see some of the same people on different videos and feel like friends, I guess what I'm saying is times change but people don't. Dead forever, peace.
