I have that 2-dvd set called "Sunshine Daydream" aka "The Field Trip." In '72, the Grateful Dead decided to help out a failing business, the Springfield Creamery, in Veneta, Oregon. Ken Kesey of the Merry Pranksters' brother Chuck worked there. I suppose they toyed with the idea at one time of officially releasing this 8/27/72 "field trip" benefit performance at the Olde Renaissance Fairgrounds as a feature film or something, because it's all pro-shot.
Here is the 8/27/72 "Dark Star" at youtube:

part 2
part 3
Here's the whole 3-set show in
mp3 for streaming or download.
(the 8/27/72 show is not currently at archive.org)
What I think should be released at some point hopefully is a single dvd or perhaps a multiple-dvd boxed set with audio of nothing but "Dark Star" performances. The dvd video portion would just be trippy, kaleidoscopic effects and would have a couple of video performances of the song also.
I'm hoping that Blue Note will release all of the Mingus Sextet performances with Eric Dolphy from the 1964 European Tour. I have a little over half of them. This year,
Cornell 1964 from the American portion of that tour was released.
