'Twas The Night Before A Dead Show...

2011-12-24T00:35:00.000-06:00

'Twas the night before a Dead show and all through the place,
All the heads were dosed - just trippin' to space.
The joints were all rolled with precision and care,
With hopes that St. Stephen soon would be there.

The freaks were nestled all stoned in their beds,
While visions of Johanna danced in their heads.
With me in my poncho and her in my hand,
Just dyin to hear "Uncle John's Band."

When out from the stage there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
O' way to the stadium I flew with my stash,
I kicked down the gate - it fell with a crash.

the light from the orb, hanging so high.
Blinded me like I was Born cross Eyed.
And what to my red glossy eyes should appear,
A shadowed figure, could it be Mr. Weir?

No, too big to be Bob, too short to be Phil,
Could it be Mickey, Vince, or maybe even Bill?
He started to sing and the sound from his lips,
Assured me at once that he was Captain Trips!

His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry,
I exclaimed in excitement, "Oh Wow! It's Jerry."
I couldn't believe it - just Jerry and Me,
"Play something" I said. "Play Sugaree."

The Fat man jammed - he was on a roll,
With his sweet songs, he rocked my soul.
Jerry spoke once, and his message was plain:
"Gotta go now," he said. "It looks Like Rain."

But I heard him exclaim as he walked out of sight,
"Good Lovin' to all, and I bid You Goodnight."

Happy Holidaze!

Record Store Day

2011-04-15T18:25:00.000-05:00

Tomorrow is Record Store Day, and unfortunately Sunshine Daydream Chicago was unable to secure any of the limited edition releases that are coming out tomorrow. We suggest that you check out www.recordstoreday.com for other Chicagoland area record stores that may have some of the limited edition releases for sale.

We tried and ordered many of the record store day releases, but we weren’t shown any love from the record companies for these limited releases, not even for the Grateful Dead or Phish vinyl releases. I guess we don’t move enough music to warrant getting any of the limited record store day releases.

We do have some free jamband compilation CDs to giveaway. Some of the bands on these CDs include Drive By Truckers, Michael Franti, String Cheese Incident, Umphrey’s McGee, Phish, & Toubab Krewe just name a few. These jamband compilation CDs are free while supplies last, and only at Sunshine Daydream Chicago.

Because it is Record Store Day tomorrow, Sunshine Daydream Chicago will be having a storewide sale.

All vinyl new and used will be 20% off regular price.

All single used CD's will be $5.99 or less.

All single new CD's will be $11.99 or less, including Grateful Dead, Phish, Umphrey's Mcgee and any other bands that we carry.

All T-shirts will be 25% off

All Purses & Backpacks will be 20% off

We are sorry that we were unable to get any of the limited edition releases, and appreciate your support all these years!

Grateful Dead Alpaca Hoodies

2010-11-16T20:55:00.000-06:00

One of the coolest Dead related things we have seen in a while. Every once in a while I'll be at a show and see someone wearing one of these Grateful Dead Alpaca Hoodies. I finally got myself one and in the process I was able to get some extra to sell in the shop.

We don't have a lot of them and I am not sure if we will be able to get anymore before Christmas. But these are the shit! 100% baby alpaca wool from a cruelty-free alpaca farm in Ecuador. The front has the dancing bears and the back has a huge Steal Your Face design, and boy are they toasty warm! It has 2 side pockets and zips up. They come in a few different colors, but we don't have all sizes in all the colors. We have so few that we are not even putting them on our website, so for now we are only going to sell them in our retail store in Lake Zurich, IL.

Come on down to the shop and try one on. They are super soft and NOT itchy at all. This is a perfect gift for your favorite deadhead this holiday season. Sunshine Daydream Chicago has lots of new goodies coming just in time for the holidays!

Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, & Beatles Musicskins

2010-11-08T22:34:00.000-06:00

Want a cool way to protect your iphone, ipod or laptop, and jazz it up at the same time. We now carry Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, & The Beatles music skins. These high quality musicskins will not only personalize and style your device, but since they are made of premium vinyl, they will protect your device from the harshest scratches. The special adhesive is completely removable and leaves no residue so you can easily remove your music skin. MusicSkins add almost zero bulk so your device will still integrate perfectly with almost any case, bag, dock, iTrip or armband. These make great holiday gifts or stocking stuffers and we even have them for the new 4th generation ipods and iphones that just came out. Visit our store in Lake Zurich, or you can order them here online.
