Description: New Riders Of The Purple Sage : Oregon Country Fairgrounds ( Temple Meadow ) - Veneta, Oregon - August 27, 1972 ( 8/27/1972 ) : NRPS Opening-Show ! for the Legendary !! Grateful Dead '72 " Field Trip ! " Benefit Show - for the Springfield Creamery !! : 2004 (1972/2004) Kufala Recordings : Out of Print ! & Very-Rare !!! The N.R.P.S. Opening Show ! for the Historic ! & Legendary !! Grateful Dead 1972 " Field Trip ! " Springfield Creamery Benefit Show in Veneta, Oregon - at the Oregon County Fair site !!! ... " Sunshine Daydream " !!!!! Well Grateful Dead Fans, as we all know ... the 8/27/72 performance was one of the finest Dead Shows " Ever ! " - and to many it may very well stand as the # 1 Most-Important Shows of All-Time ! for the Band - for a plethora of reasons. I know, that is a way-tall order indeed - but I've personally heard it discussed numerous times with fans on Tour back in the day : time & time & time again ! I won't go into the reasons or specifics, since many are are all widely known. In fact, these days ... this Show has become even ' renewed ' with popularity among Grateful Dead Fans, and especially those of the younger generation -- and has taken on a ' new-name ' ... and, a Grate ! one, at that --- " Sunshine Daydream " !!! I heavily encourage you to read the ' massive ' ( 11-Page ) review on this Monumental! Show in the " Deadhead's Taping Compendium ( Volume 1 ) ". It is a whopping 11-pages long, and really dissects the situation, surrounding facts, and much of the ' need to know ' ! Hey, I'm convinced and all - but going to the Oregon Country Fair is enough to do this on its very own - still, over 40-Years Later !! So, here's the scoop ... this 1-CD Set offers the New Riders Of The Purple Sage " Opening-Show " Set ! for the Grateful Dead on this very-special & simply Magical ! day in Sunny ! & Hot !! Veneta, Oregon on August 27, 1972. The cover of this CD, along with the " Picture Disc " style really does a very nice job of summing it up ! Ha ! This one was recorded by Bob Matthews ( who also recorded the Grateful Dead Show on this day ) - it is re-mastered by Stephen Barncard - and was transferred by Jeff Norman. And last but not least ... the cover art is from the Kesey Family !!! The New Riders definitely rise to the call on this special occasion, and truly deliver a Smokin'-Hot Set ! The deep jam on " Willie And The Hand Jive " really makes you wonder why these guys didn't actually earn a higher-spot in live Rock n' Roll History ? They can flat-out play, and deliver a Brilliant & Blissful ! set !! What a Magical-Day ! 8/27/72 must have been in Good Ol' Veneta. I am so happy ( and even a bit envious too ! ) for those of you out there who were lucky enough to have been there on 8/27/72. I've lived in Oregon for well-over 25-Years, and I have still only met less than 20 people who were there on that day - and most of them I've actually met right-at O.C.F. dating back to the Early-'90's ! And trust me ... I've been ' looking ' for them all-along the way ! What a Magical-Journey ! - to this Magical-Place !! The Grateful Dead ( & especially Garcia ! ) have often claimed that they've always found some sort of way to really " blow the big ones " -- but, not on this Hot Oregon Day Jerry ! " Legendary " to say the very-least ... and here indeed is one of the long-missing pieces of the '72 " Field Trip ! " Puzzle !! -- the NRPS Show !!! Enjoy !!!!!
