On August 27, 1972, fresh off their now-legendary European tour, the Grateful Dead traveled to Veneta, OR and reunited with the Merry Pranksters for a common cause – to throw a benefit concert for the Kesey family’s Springfield Creamery.  A stage was erected under the hot Oregon sun at the Olde Renaissance Fairgrounds, tickets were printed on the backs of the Creamery’s yogurt labels, and the rest is history… The stage was set for the most coveted Grateful Dead show of all time!
