Grateful Dead- Veneta, Oregon 1972 Sunshine Daydream
On August 27, 1972, fresh off their now-legendary European tour, the Grateful Dead traveled to Veneta, OR and reunited with the Merry Pranksters for a common cause – to throw a benefit concert for the Kesey family’s Springfield Creamery. A stage was erected under the hot Oregon sun at the Olde Renaissance Fairgrounds, tickets were printed on the fronts of the Creamery’s yogurt labels, and the rest is history…
Love this show. An absolutely legendary Dark Star. Also...Jerry Garcia on a 1950s Strat through a Twin Reverb. The best Jerry.
This show is better than Cornell 1977...hands down.
