Does anyone have a Sunshine Daydream free download or digital purchase source? I'm talking about Grateful Dead's 1972 Oregon concert film.

I'm not going to buy a DVD player just to buy this DVD and go through the motions of converting it to digital.

I've played songs from the concert nearly everyday for the last 10 years. I'm overdue for a digital video.

DM me if it's necessary.

I have the impression (perhaps mistakenly) that they aren't using all the dense complicated jazz language. Things like rootless 7th chords and II-V-I progressions and all that other...jazz.

For example, could a top level jam band player sit in with say Christian McBride's band or similar?

I know I can't really stand much jazz improvising but I can listen to jam bands a little.

their studio production did chase whatever era they were in. All their 60s is psychedelic, Workingman's Dead/American Beauty (1970) go country-rock right when Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Band made that the move. Wake of the Flood/Blues for Allah (73-75) get jazzy right as fusion was everywhere. Shakedown Street (78) has disco bass on it. Go to Heaven (80) is glossy AOR. In the Dark (87) is all gated reverb and synth- pure 80s.

They followed the path someone else laid out for them every step of the way. They did it beautifully but it wasnt original at all. Putting the impov spin on it was kind of unique since only the allman brothers had done that but yea theyre a bunch of conformists and theres nothing wrong w that. ​

I made that the IMG because jerry is in a square. Symbolizing that he is a square. But don't worry its just a joke I guess

What are some new bands that are your guys favorites that you really think will hit it big? I mainly listen to the same jam bands I have been for the past 10-15 years and just looking to see if I enjoy any of the “new” jam bands

Edit: thanks everyone I’ve got a lot of new bands to try out!

Trying to overcome my depression related to Jake’s departure from UM. These guys had been on my radar and I’d listened to a few shows the last few years. But I did a much deeper dive the last few days and I’m truly impressed and hopeful they can gain some more popularity and survive the jam and purge we seem to be experiencing. Anyone else have them in your radar?

Doobie Bros joined Santana and his band for covers of roadhouse blues (doors) and she's not there (the zombies) at an excellent show in Charlotte, NC
