Day 26 – Playing In The Band
On a scorching August afternoon in summer of 1972, the Dead culture was in full swing in Veneta, Oregon. An extended, psychedelic version of Playing In The Band from the show that would be filmed and released as Sunshine Daydream. The film played to a packed Roseville Movie Theater audience as recently as the summer of 2013.
