LINK REMOVED - OFFICIALLY RELEASED
In May, we featured the show that Deadheads have voted the best ever, namely May 8, 1977 from Barton Hall on the campus of Cornell University. If any show can give that one a run for its money for the title of best ever, it’s this one from August 27, 1972, 41 years ago today! What started as a benefit show to raise money for a Creamery owned by Ken Kesey's brother, became one of the mythic performances of the Dead's entire career. It was a hot day on the Old Renaissance Fairgrounds in Veneta, Oregon, over 100 degrees, but that only seemed to fuel the band’s fire. The show includes landmark performances of Bird Song, Playing In The Band and Jack Straw, as well as maybe the best single version of Dark Star. Perhaps the Sunshine Daydream coda (from Sugar Magnolia) was never more appropriate than when played on this scorching day. In fact, a proposed movie of the show, which was never released, was to be titled Sunshine Daydream. You can read more about this incredible concert and its place in Grateful Dead lore in this article. When you’re done reading, start downloading and then give a listen to this classic. IMPORTANT - THIS SHOW WILL BE OFFICIALLY RELEASED ON SEPTEMBER 1 SO THE LINK WILL COME DOWN THEN. SO ACT NOW IF YOU WANT THIS SHOW!

This is surely a lysergic classic with optimal versions of "Bird Song", "Playin'" and "Dark Star".
This show has a fantastic birdsong. Might be the best ever. Speedy once you gave me the hint of 1972 I knew it was this show. This show is pick on many lists as one of the best of all time. If you don't have it get it
YES YES YES!!! A true classic here - have had this one on my hard drive for years - this is a 'must listen'. And Happy Birthday to me, 52 years young. Gratefully, Adam Dean
Great stuff!
