GRATEFUL DEAD Rocking The Cradle: Egypt 1978 (2008 UK 3-disc [2CD/1DVD] set - When the Grateful Dead descended on Egypt's Nile Valley in 1978 to perform 3 landmark concerts at the foot of the Great Pyramid in Giza, legendary promoter Bill Graham called it, 'One of the greatest experiences of my life', and Counterculture icon and author Ken Kesey described it as 'The latest Rocking of the Cradle of Civilization'.The day after the last of the trio of shows, which took place during a rare lunar eclipse, the Egypt-Israeli Peace Treaty was signed. This 3-disc set relives this halcyon convergence of history, sound and sphinx with 'Rocking The Cradle: Egypt 1978', featuring over 3 hours of music remastered in HDCD to sound more cosmic than ever [all except 3 songs are previously unreleased]; along with a 100-minute DVD featuring never-before-seen concert and home movie footage includes the featurette 'The Vacation Tapes', with previously unseen candid footage of the band and their noted friends exploring Egypt. Presented in a super-deluxe digipak pyramid-inspired packaging with "pop-up" style Pyramids and Sphinx inside plus many rare photos and features liner notes by long-time Dead associate Alan Trist, who was pivotal in making the trek to Egypt happen.)
