An Absolute ! " Must-Read ! " for any Grateful Dead
Fan ... offering a Massive ! wealth of knowledge & insider information of
the Big Trip ! to Egypt 1978 - Grateful Dead ! - Rock & Roll !! ... & Astrology !!!
Grateful Dead Fans !! So ... if the Grateful Dead's " Big Trip ! "
to Egypt !! in 1978 interests you - like it pretty much does for any Good
Deadhead ... then here without any question is an Amazing ! Book that you need
to read & add into your personal library of trade cloth & hard bound
Treasures ! And, you know ... Rock & Roll! Treasures !! "
Truckin' With The Grateful Dead To : EGYPT " - written by Robert Nichols,
and printed by the Moonbow Press in 1984. And. .. as far as the info in
this Book goes ? I mean ..... Whoa !?! Absolutely-amazing, and just like
you might hope for - as far as a Close Encounters experience of Truckin' with
the Band for Egypt '78 ... as Bob Nichols was indeed an Employee of The Grateful
Dead ! Grate ! friends with the Band, Road Crew, Extended G.D. Family &
such ... and also - he was considered to some degree to be the unofficial
" Astrologer " for The Grateful Dead !! One of the popular ' Dead
Books ' even talks about this too - can't remember if it was Phil's, Billy's, or
maybe even McNally's ? But, I remember reading that section years & years
after finding out about this '84 Egypt Book Masterpiece ! In addition to
all-kinds of G.D. Fan info that you will absolutely-love ... there are also some
Awesome ! photos inside, and hey - I mean where else are you going to be able to
read about a collective G.D. Band / Crew attempt to " Wire the King's
Chamber " ??! And then ... just around there - you have a picture of a
Crew Member with an " Oregon Dead " '72 Veneta Shirt hanging a ' Steal
Your Face ! ' Flag ! on the Egyptian Cheop's Pyramid !! Wow ... right ?
Well, at least to me - I've always thought this was one of the Best ! Dead Books
from the last say - 30 + years ... in that it is totally informational, but yet -
so incredibly real ! So sadly, Robert Nichols passed in April of 1997 at
age 58 true to his astrology beliefs ... leaving a note behind that read " I
am going on the Spaceship with Hale-Bopp to be with those who have gone before
me ". ( New York Times 4/2/1997 ). A terribly sad tragedy indeed, but
thankfully ... such a wealth of incredible information left behind. From
my understanding ... the Grateful Dead took his wealth of astrological knowledge
& advice very seriously, and this Book is really the best look into the
mindset of Robert Nichols, just around 5-years, or even less " Post-Egypt
'78 " when this book was originally released in 1984. Enjoy this
Grateful Dead - Egypt '78 ! & Robert Nichols Rock & Roll - meets -
Astrology ! Treasure !!!
