"Field Trip is a long out-of-print 1972 recording of the New Riders of the Purple Sage opening for the Grateful Dead at the legendary Veneta, Oregon creamery benefit concert (documented on Sunshine Daydream (Rhino, 2013). The seventeen cuts proceeding in quick succession over the course of just over an hour's playing time, ultimately furthering a distinct notion NRPS were far more than just a mere offshoot of that aforementioned iconic band. Within this expertly-paced track sequence, the New Riders artfully mix original songs with cover material that speaks directly to their roots and influences".
