The Massive !
Grateful Dead Fall 1978 " Egypt Homecoming !! " Shows !!! -- Seventeen (
17 ) Previously Unissued Tracks ! from the Winterland Arena in San
Francisco, CA !! on 10/21 & 10/22, 1978 !!! ... " From Egypt With Love !!!!! ".
Deadheads !!! Billed at the time & commonly referred to as the " From Egypt with
Love ! " Shows, this release captures the Band on 2-nights during a 5-night
homecoming from the Amazing & surreal-experience of playing 3-nights in
front of the Pyramids & Sphinx at the Gizah Sound & Light Theater in
Cairo, Egypt !! This was a fine chance & occasion for the band members
to collectively " Share-the-Magic ! " that they experienced on that Monumental ! Rock & Roll Life Journey. As it also stands, this would be one of the final Show runs of the Grateful Dead playing the Fan ( & Band ! ) favorite Winterland Arena on
their Bay Area Home Turf ! This 17-track release is simply wonderful
& highly-spirited Grateful Dead, and is one of the Finest ! of all the
" Road Trips Series " releases. There is clearly
" Love-in-the-Air ! " - and the synergy between the Fans & the Band is
beautifully-captured in this pristine audio-mix. From a personal
standpoint, this is one of ( if not ' the ' ) Road Trips I was most excited to receive
when I heard it would be released back in 2008. Over the years, I'm just
one of the numerous ! number of loyal Dead Fans that have given the analog tapes
from this run a serious ' workout ' over the last few decades. The news
that significant highlights from this run would be available in a
digitally-remastered / pro-release format was a true-cause for Celebration !! Clearly one of the Finest ! '78 run of Shows delivered by the Band - as there are ' abundant ' live musical treasures all over this CD Set. Not only
beautiful & well-played tunes from the " Era " like Passenger - Stagger
Lee - and Miracle -- but also Historic ! " special-treat " versions the
likes of Scarlet > Fire, and the blistering-hot " I've Got My Mojo
Workin' > Other One ! ". It should be proudly-noted that Garcia puts a
muscle-style workout on his MXR Distortion + pedal ( Script-Logo ! ) during the Other One ascension,
that might even make Jimmy Page or Tony Iommi raise an eyebrow. Just
Big-League Garcia ! ... and one of the 1st glimpses of what would become an early
taste of hot & heavy good-nights in " The 80's " when Jerry would
eventually convert to primarily Boss distortion equipment ( OD-1 - HM-2, etc. )
for a mightier tone-heavy delivery. There are many moments on this 2-CD
release that border & equal " Live-Music Perfection ! " - at least to me & my humble Dead Fan ears. This is without-question a Must-Hear ! & " Must-Have ! " in my opinion. A Very-Very ! special 1978 Fall Tour Grateful Dead release ... " From Egypt With Love !!! " - Live ! at the Winterland !!! -- Enjoy !!!!!
