 Great! November 22, 2008
Not only was the product new but it arrived in only a few days.I would definitly buy again!
If you just want the music, mp3 is fine, if you want more, get the CD November 21, 2008
I admit that 90 percent of my music purchases are now downloads. Rarely do I buy a CD. Usually, if I do buy a CD, it's because it's not available as a download. That's not the case with the Egypt CD.
I'm a Deadhead and have two of the three nights on CDR, and since most of this release is drawn from the 16th, which I have on CDR, I'm essentially buying what I already have. However, the audio quality here is much improved.
However, I ended up forking out the extra cash to buy the CD, which includes a bonus DVD not available here, which has parts of one show, plus some really enjoyable "home movie" footage of the Dead, Ken Kesey, Bill Graham, Bill Walton and others goofing off in Egypt, climbing pyramids, taking a 3-day cruise down the Nile, etc.
In addition, the packaging is really cool. You open up the three panels and up pop pyramids. It's like the "stand up" art that used to accompany albums. (Jethro Tull's "Stand Up" immediately comes to mind. You opened up the gatefold album and the band members images literally "stood up" -- at least on early editions of the vinyl.
I know, it's all about the music. But in this case, it's also about the DVD and seeing the Dead and friends in Egypt, and the really fun packaging. In this case, I opted to buy the CD instead of saving money and just downloading the songs.
So, if you just want the music, then I recommend downloading the two CDs. You won't be disappointed. If you don't mind spending extra money, the CD with DVD and cool packaging are great. Either way, this is choice stuff.
Dead at the pyramids November 10, 2008
Sound quality great; Vacation Video a treat; A must for any archivist with a nostalgic feel; one of the last shows with Keith and Donna Jean.
Keep in mind , it's hard to be impartial November 8, 2008
My musical love affair w/ the Dead just celebrated it's 40TH birthday. Although my musical genre pallet comprises thousands of bands , the Dead are the Dead , and will always be held in high regard w/ me.
So , sometimes it is hard for me to remain impartial when reviewing material released by the band. I always find things to love , and things to wish that went better.
With that in mind , "Rocking The Cradle : Egypt 1978" is the live document of an historic event. The Dead in Egypt. Circulating tapes have always indicated that it was not the greatest of performances albeit historic in its venue.
With that being said , much to enjoy here though. This version of "Stella Blue" is IMHO one of the top 5 ever (if not the single best).
If you enjoy live Dead , you must add this to your collection ; if you are new to the magic , listen to "The Movie Soundtrack" or "Fillmore" first.
Discovering the Dead is an awesome experience , appreciating the band for what they musically accomplished is very rewarding.
 the dvd is just ok October 29, 2008
considering almost everything from 65-77 was outta this world..this year pales in comparison..the video doesnt have consecutive songs for the most part..and the first set songs are better than what we're used to for second set songs..i can see why they chose to not release these sets to pay for the trip..if you want GD from this era, they really get it together for the new years show 1978 which is one of the best..so save your money from egypt and get closing of winterland 1978
