Egypt in '78 !!!!!
Please Note >>> This is the 2008 "Special Edition" version of this Monumental Grateful Dead (Rhino) 2008 "Rocking The Cradle: Egypt 1978" release..... and now, for the details/specifics: like all sets released, this set offers the 2-CD portion, 1-DVD, and Booklet - but that is where the possible 'similarities' end .. .. .. as this "Brand New/Factory-Sealed" Special-Edition "4-Disc" version of this set includes not only a "Special Edition CD Case with the "Fold-Out" Pop-Up! Pyramids & Sphinx inside the Case" --- but, it also includes a "3rd" BONUS DISC CD, which offers 8-Tracks which None! of the other versions following this-version released, ever offered! - - - In other words, serious Collectors & 'Completeists' fall-in for this one, as it is the Inaugural/Initial Version released for this Landmark! Grateful Dead Set, Only! available via Early/Pre-Order in 2008!!! A true time-capsule offering here fans, Enjoy !!!!!
The Grateful Dead Family's Landmark & Historic "Big-Trip!" to play Egypt at the
Gizah Sound & Light Theater (near the Pyramids & Sphinx!) in
1978 -- Yes... Wow!
This is one of the very-coolest G.D. (Rhino) releases to date, in my personal opinion - and to my ears!... especially that of the 'non-Big Box' releases - Three (3) CD's are
offered here in this "Special Edition" 4-Disc Set (including the Very-Rare! "Bonus Disc CD") from this Monumental! 3-Night Run, and the the DVD is simply WoW!!!... basically offering the enjoyment of watching a Grateful Dead home video... in "The Vacation Tapes" segment.
Egypt '78 was indeed a no-brainer for a pro-release, due to its obvious importance to both the band, and Dead Fans everywhere - however, from almost all sources that I had ever heard of this run up until this point (in 2008), I wasn't certain this one would be a candidate for a pro-release, or not?... as I just wasn't sure whether enough 'quality/useable' tape was available or not? So incredibly-glad we got the answer, right? Stellar.......... This one (in my personal
opinion) is a beyond 'Must-Have!' for the Grateful Dead CD Collection... not only because there is some
serious "lay it all out" magic here in these Fall '78 Cairo performances, but also -
because of the obvious & to put it quite bluntly... "it's Egypt!"... Enjoy this G.D. Live Treasure - both Audio & Visual !!!!
So here is is the general 'tale-of-the-tape' on this Historic! & Fantastic Grateful Dead "Egypt '78" release . . .
Highlights from the Historic-Shows at
Egypt's Great Pyramid and pristine HDCD Sound from Original 24-Track Tapes, DVD
Includes Extremely Rare Concert Footage, Behind-The Scenes Home Movies and 5.1
& Stereo Mixes . . . and last but not least -- (and probably most important to CD & Grateful Dead "Collector's") >>> this set is the "Special Edition" pre-order/early released Disc Set which offers the "Pop-Up" (Fold Out) Pyramids & Sphinx Case-version!!!!! AND... the Pre/Early-Order "Bonus Disc CD" - offering 8-additional audio tracks (on a '3rd' CD) - the likes of Bertha, Good Lovi', El Paso, Ramble On Rose, Estimated Prophet, Eyes of the World, Terrapin Station & Sugar Magnolia!!!
